Server Requirements

Operating System

We require using Ubuntu 18.04 as the base operating system for your server.

Root access

Full root access to this server is required. This might be via sudo (recommended) or by direct access to root (not recommended!)

External IP

An external IP allows users on the internet to reach your JupyterHub. Most VPS / Cloud providers give you a public IP address along with your server. If you are hosting on a physical machine somewhere, talk to your system administrators about how to get HTTP traffic from the world into your server.
