The Littlest JupyterHub on Azure

[Lee Stott]

The Littlest JupyterHub

A simple JupyterHub distribution for a small (0-100) number of users on a single server. We recommend reading When to use The Littlest JupyterHub to determine if this is the right tool for you.

Installation on Azure

The Littlest JupyterHub (TLJH) can run on any server that is running at least Ubuntu 18.04. Earlier versions of Ubuntu are not supported. We have a bunch of tutorials to get you started.

• Using the tutorial is recommended if you do not have much experience setting up servers.

  • Installing on Azure
  • Installing on your own server

Once you are ready to run your server for real, it’s a good idea to proceed directly to Enable HTTPS.
