Jupyter Notebooks from Lambda Servers

  1. Log-in into a Lambda server using your credentials via ssh.
  2. Once in the Lambda server execute the following command:

    jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8080

    • This will open the lambda server and will provide a token.
  3. On your local systems type: ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 <your account>@<lambda server>

    • This command is basically forwarding port 8080 on the lambda server to your local system.
  4. On your system browser go to: https://localhost:8080 and that will access the jupyter notebook interface from the lambda server.

Troubleshooting:

  • Port Usage: If there are other person using that port (e.g. 8080) the step 2 will fail. You need to select another port. If this happens, the new port must be used on step 4.
