-JupyterHub is a multi-user server that manages and proxies multiple instances of the single-user <del>IPython</del> Jupyter notebook server.
-
-Three actors:
-
-- multi-user Hub (tornado process)
-- configurable http proxy (node-http-proxy)
-- multiple single-user IPython notebook servers (Python/IPython/tornado)
-
-Basic principles:
-
-- Hub spawns proxy
-- Proxy forwards ~all requests to hub by default
-- Hub handles login, and spawns single-user servers on demand
-- Hub configures proxy to forward url prefixes to single-user servers

-## Dependencies
+# [JupyterHub](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub)
 
-JupyterHub requires IPython >= 3.0 (current master) and Python >= 3.3.
 
-You will need nodejs/npm, which you can get from your package manager:

+With [JupyterHub](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io) you can create a
+**multi-user Hub** which spawns, manages, and proxies multiple instances of the
+single-user [Jupyter notebook (IPython notebook)](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io)
+server.
 
-(The `nodejs-legacy` package installs the `node` executable,
-which is required for npm to work on Debian/Ubuntu at this point)
+[Project Jupyter](https://jupyter.org) created JupyterHub to support many
+users. The Hub can offer notebook servers to a class of students, a corporate
+data science workgroup, a scientific research project, or a high performance
+computing group.
 
-Then install javascript dependencies:
+## Technical overview
 
-    sudo npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
+Three main actors make up JupyterHub:
 
-### Optional
+- multi-user **Hub** (tornado process)
+- configurable http **proxy** (node-http-proxy)
+- multiple **single-user Jupyter notebook servers** (Python/IPython/tornado)
 
-- Notes on `pip` command used in the below installation sections:
-  - `sudo` may be needed for `pip install`, depending on filesystem permissions.
-  - JupyterHub requires Python >= 3.3, so it may be required on some machines to use `pip3` instead
-    of `pip` (especially when you have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed on your machine).
-    If `pip3` is not found on your machine, you can get it by doing:
+Basic principles for operation are:
 
-        sudo apt-get install python3-pip
+- Hub spawns a proxy.
+- Proxy forwards all requests to Hub by default.
+- Hub handles login, and spawns single-user servers on demand.
+- Hub configures proxy to forward url prefixes to the single-user notebook
+  servers.
 
+JupyterHub also provides a
+[REST API](http://petstore.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyter/jupyterhub/master/docs/rest-api.yml#/default)
+for administration of the Hub and its users.
 
 ## Installation
 
-As usual start with cloning the code:
+### Check prerequisites
 
-    git clone https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub.git
-    cd jupyterhub
+A Linux/Unix based system with the following:
 
-Then you can install the Python package by doing:
+- [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) 3.4 or greater
+- [nodejs/npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) Install a recent version of
+  [nodejs/npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node)
+  For example, install it on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) using:
 
-    pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-    pip3 install .
-    
-If the `pip3 install .` command fails and complains about `lessc` being unavailable, you may need to explicitly install some additional javascript dependencies:
+      sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy
 
-    npm install
+  The `nodejs-legacy` package installs the `node` executable and is currently
+  required for npm to work on Debian/Ubuntu.
 
-If you plan to run notebook servers locally, you may also need to install the IPython notebook:
+- TLS certificate and key for HTTPS communication
+- Domain name
 
-    pip3 install "ipython[notebook]"
+### Install packages
 
+JupyterHub can be installed with `pip`, and the proxy with `npm`:
 
-This will fetch client-side javascript dependencies and compile CSS,
-and install these files to `sys.prefix`/share/jupyter, as well as
-install any Python dependencies.
+```bash
+npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
+pip3 install jupyterhub    
+```
 
+If you plan to run notebook servers locally, you will need to install the
+[Jupyter notebook](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html)
+package:
 
-### Development install
+    pip3 install --upgrade notebook
 
-For a development install:
+### Run the Hub server
 
-    pip3 install -r dev-requirements.txt -e .
-
-In which case you may need to manually update javascript and css after some updates, with:
-
-    python3 setup.py js    # fetch updated client-side js (changes rarely)
-    python3 setup.py css   # recompile CSS from LESS sources
-
-
-## Running the server
-
-To start the server, run the command:
+To start the Hub server, run the command:
 
     jupyterhub
 
-and then visit `http://localhost:8000`, and sign in with your unix credentials.
+Visit `https://localhost:8000` in your browser, and sign in with your unix
+PAM credentials.
 
-If you want multiple users to be able to sign into the server, you will need to run the
-`jupyterhub` command as a privileged user, such as root.
-The [wiki](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub/wiki/Using-sudo-to-run-JupyterHub-without-root-privileges) describes how to run the server
-as a less privileged user, which requires more configuration of the system.
+*Note*: To allow multiple users to sign into the server, you will need to
+run the `jupyterhub` command as a *privileged user*, such as root.
+The [wiki](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/wiki/Using-sudo-to-run-JupyterHub-without-root-privileges)
+describes how to run the server as a *less privileged user*, which requires
+more configuration of the system.
 
-## Getting started
+## Configuration
 
-see the [getting started doc](docs/getting-started.md) for some of the basics of configuring your JupyterHub deployment.
+The [Getting Started](http://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/index.html) section of the
+documentation explains the common steps in setting up JupyterHub.
 
-### Some examples
+The [**JupyterHub tutorial**](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-tutorial)
+provides an in-depth video and sample configurations of JupyterHub.
 
-generate a default config file:
+### Create a configuration file
+
+To generate a default config file with settings and descriptions:
 
     jupyterhub --generate-config
 
-spawn the server on 10.0.1.2:443 with https:
+### Start the Hub
+
+To start the Hub on a specific url and port ``10.0.1.2:443`` with **https**:
 
     jupyterhub --ip 10.0.1.2 --port 443 --ssl-key my_ssl.key --ssl-cert my_ssl.cert
 
-The authentication and process spawning mechanisms can be replaced,
-which should allow plugging into a variety of authentication or process control environments.
-Some examples, meant as illustration and testing of this concept:
+### Authenticators
 
-- Using GitHub OAuth instead of PAM with [OAuthenticator](https://github.com/jupyter/oauthenticator)
-- Spawning single-user servers with docker, using the [DockerSpawner](https://github.com/jupyter/dockerspawner)

+## Docker
 
-but you can participate in development discussions or get live help on Gitter:
+A starter [**docker image for JupyterHub**](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/)
+gives a baseline deployment of JupyterHub using Docker.
 
-[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/jupyter/jupyterhub?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge)
+**Important:** This `jupyterhub/jupyterhub` image contains only the Hub itself,
+with no configuration. In general, one needs to make a derivative image, with
+at least a `jupyterhub_config.py` setting up an Authenticator and/or a Spawner.
+To run the single-user servers, which may be on the same system as the Hub or
+not, Jupyter Notebook version 4 or greater must be installed.
+
+The JupyterHub docker image can be started with the following command:
+
+    docker run -d --name jupyterhub jupyterhub/jupyterhub jupyterhub
+
+This command will create a container named `jupyterhub` that you can
+**stop and resume** with `docker stop/start`.
+
+The Hub service will be listening on all interfaces at port 8000, which makes
+this a good choice for **testing JupyterHub on your desktop or laptop**.
+
+If you want to run docker on a computer that has a public IP then you should
+(as in MUST) **secure it with ssl** by adding ssl options to your docker
+configuration or by using a ssl enabled proxy.
+
+[Mounting volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/containers/dockervolumes/) will
+allow you to **store data outside the docker image (host system) so it will be persistent**, even when you start
+a new image.
+
+The command `docker exec -it jupyterhub bash` will spawn a root shell in your docker
+container. You can **use the root shell to create system users in the container**.
+These accounts will be used for authentication in JupyterHub's default configuration.
+
+## Contributing
+
+If you would like to contribute to the project, please read our
+[contributor documentation](http://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributor/content-contributor.html)
+and the [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+For a **development install**, clone the [repository](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub)
+and then install from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub
+cd jupyterhub
+pip3 install -r dev-requirements.txt -e .
+```
+
+If the `pip3 install` command fails and complains about `lessc` being
+unavailable, you may need to explicitly install some additional JavaScript
+dependencies:
+
+    npm install
+
+This will fetch client-side JavaScript dependencies necessary to compile CSS.
+
+You may also need to manually update JavaScript and CSS after some development
+updates, with:
+
+```bash
+python3 setup.py js    # fetch updated client-side js
+python3 setup.py css   # recompile CSS from LESS sources
+```
+
+We use [pytest](http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/) for **running tests**:
+
+```bash
+pytest jupyterhub/tests
+```
+
+### A note about platform support
+
+JupyterHub is supported on Linux/Unix based systems.
+
+JupyterHub officially **does not** support Windows. You may be able to use

-# Writing a custom Authenticator
-
-The [Authenticator][] is the mechanism for authorizing users.
-Basic authenticators use simple username and password authentication.
-JupyterHub ships only with a [PAM][]-based Authenticator,
-for logging in with local user accounts.
-
-You can use custom Authenticator subclasses to enable authentication via other systems.
-One such example is using [GitHub OAuth][].
-
-Because the username is passed from the Authenticator to the Spawner,
-a custom Authenticator and Spawner are often used together.
-
-See a list of custom Authenticators [on the wiki](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub/wiki/Authenticators).
-
-
-## Basics of Authenticators
-
-A basic Authenticator has one central method:
-
-
-### Authenticator.authenticate
-
-    Authenticator.authenticate(handler, data)
-
-This method is passed the tornado RequestHandler and the POST data from the login form.
-Unless the login form has been customized, `data` will have two keys:
-
-- `username` (self-explanatory)
-- `password` (also self-explanatory)
-
-`authenticate`'s job is simple:
-
-- return a username (non-empty str)
-  of the authenticated user if authentication is successful
-- return `None` otherwise
-
-Writing an Authenticator that looks up passwords in a dictionary
-requires only overriding this one method:
-
-```python
-from tornado import gen
-from IPython.utils.traitlets import Dict
-from jupyterhub.auth import Authenticator
-
-class DictionaryAuthenticator(Authenticator):
-
-    passwords = Dict(config=True,
-        help="""dict of username:password for authentication"""
-    )
-    
-    @gen.coroutine
-    def authenticate(self, handler, data):
-        if self.passwords.get(data['username']) == data['password']:
-            return data['username']
-```
-
-
-### Authenticator.whitelist
-
-Authenticators can specify a whitelist of usernames to allow authentication.
-For local user authentication (e.g. PAM), this lets you limit which users
-can login.
-
-
-## OAuth and other non-password logins
-
-Some login mechanisms, such as [OAuth][], don't map onto username+password.
-For these, you can override the login handlers.
-
-You can see an example implementation of an Authenticator that uses [GitHub OAuth][]
-at [OAuthenticator][].

-# Getting started with JupyterHub
-
-This document describes some of the basics of configuring JupyterHub to do what you want.
-JupyterHub is highly customizable, so there's a lot to cover.
-
-
-## Installation
-
-See [the readme](../README.md) for help installing JupyterHub.
-
-
-## Overview
-
-JupyterHub is a set of processes that together provide a multiuser Jupyter Notebook server.
-There are three main categories of processes run by the `jupyterhub` command line program:
-
-- *Single User Server*: a dedicated, single-user, Jupyter Notebook is started for each user on the system
-  when they log in. The object that starts these processes is called a *Spawner*.
-- *Proxy*: the public facing part of the server that uses a dynamic proxy to route HTTP requests
-  to the *Hub* and *Single User Servers*.
-- *Hub*: manages user accounts and authentication and coordinates *Single Users Servers* using a *Spawner*.
-
-## JupyterHub's default behavior
-
-
-To start JupyterHub in its default configuration, type the following at the command line:
-
-    sudo jupyterhub
-
-The default Authenticator that ships with JupyterHub authenticates users
-with their system name and password (via [PAM][]).
-Any user on the system with a password will be allowed to start a single-user notebook server.
-
-The default Spawner starts servers locally as each user, one dedicated server per user.
-These servers listen on localhost, and start in the given user's home directory.
-
-By default, the *Proxy* listens on all public interfaces on port 8000.
-Thus you can reach JupyterHub through:
-
-    http://localhost:8000
-
-or any other public IP or domain pointing to your system.
-
-In their default configuration, the other services, the *Hub* and *Single-User Servers*,
-all communicate with each other on localhost only.
-
-**NOTE:** In its default configuration, JupyterHub runs without SSL encryption (HTTPS).
-You should not run JupyterHub without SSL encryption on a public network.
-See [below](#Security) for how to configure JupyterHub to use SSL.
-
-By default, starting JupyterHub will write two files to disk in the current working directory:
-
-- `jupyterhub.sqlite` is the sqlite database containing all of the state of the *Hub*.
-  This file allows the *Hub* to remember what users are running and where,
-  as well as other information enabling you to restart parts of JupyterHub separately.
-- `jupyterhub_cookie_secret` is the encryption key used for securing cookies.
-  This file needs to persist in order for restarting the Hub server to avoid invalidating cookies.
-  Conversely, deleting this file and restarting the server effectively invalidates all login cookies.
-  The cookie secret file is discussed [below](#Security).
-
-The location of these files can be specified via configuration, discussed below.
-
-
-## How to configure JupyterHub
-
-JupyterHub is configured in two ways:
-
-1. Command-line arguments
-2. Configuration files
-
-Type the following for brief information about the command line arguments:
-
-    jupyterhub -h
-
-or:
-
-    jupyterhub --help-all
-
-for the full command line help.
-
-By default, JupyterHub will look for a configuration file (can be missing)
-named `jupyterhub_config.py` in the current working directory.
-You can create an empty configuration file with
-
-
-    jupyterhub --generate-config
-
-This empty configuration file has descriptions of all configuration variables and their default values.
-You can load a specific config file with:
-
-
-    jupyterhub -f /path/to/jupyterhub_config.py
-
-See also: [general docs](http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/development/config.html)
-on the config system Jupyter uses.
-
-
-## Networking
-
-In most situations you will want to change the main IP address and port of the Proxy.
-This address determines where JupyterHub is available to your users.
-The default is all network interfaces (`''`) on port 8000.
-
-This can be done with the following command line arguments:
-
-    jupyterhub --ip=192.168.1.2 --port=443
-
-Or you can put the following lines in a configuration file:
-
-```python
-c.JupyterHub.ip = '192.168.1.2'
-c.JupyterHub.port = 443
-```
-
-Port 443 is used in these examples as it is the default port for SSL/HTTPS.
-
-Configuring only the main IP and port of JupyterHub should be sufficient for most deployments of JupyterHub.
-However, for more customized scenarios,
-you can configure the following additional networking details.
-
-The Hub service talks to the proxy via a REST API on a secondary port,
-whose network interface and port can be configured separately.
-By default, this REST API listens on port 8081 of localhost only.
-If you want to run the Proxy separate from the Hub,
-you may need to configure this IP and port with:
-
-```python
-# ideally a private network address
-c.JupyterHub.proxy_api_ip = '10.0.1.4'
-c.JupyterHub.proxy_api_port = 5432
-```
-
-The Hub service also listens only on localhost (port 8080) by default.
-The Hub needs needs to be accessible from both the proxy and all Spawners.
-When spawning local servers localhost is fine,
-but if *either* the Proxy or (more likely) the Spawners will be remote or isolated in containers,
-the Hub must listen on an IP that is accessible.
-
-```python
-c.JupyterHub.hub_ip = '10.0.1.4'
-c.JupyterHub.hub_port = 54321
-```
-
-## Security
-
-First of all, since JupyterHub includes authentication and allows arbitrary code execution,
-you should not run it without SSL (HTTPS).
-This will require you to obtain an official SSL certificate or create a self-signed certificate.
-Once you have obtained and installed a key and certificate
-you need to pass their locations to JupyterHub's configuration as follows:
-
-```python
-c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = '/path/to/my.key'
-c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = '/path/to/my.cert'
-```
-
-Some cert files also contain the key, in which case only the cert is needed.
-It is important that these files be put in a secure location on your server.
-
-There are two other aspects of JupyterHub network security.
-
-The cookie secret is an encryption key, used to encrypt the cookies used for authentication.
-If this value changes for the Hub,
-all single-user servers must also be restarted.
-Normally, this value is stored in the file `jupyterhub_cookie_secret`,
-which can be specified with:
-
-```python
-c.JupyterHub.cookie_secret_file = '/path/to/jupyterhub_cookie_secret'
-```
-
-In most deployments of JupyterHub, you should point this to a secure location on the file system.
-If the cookie secret file doesn't exist when the Hub starts,
-a new cookie secret is generated and stored in the file.
-
-If you would like to avoid the need for files,
-the value can be loaded in the Hub process from the `JPY_COOKIE_SECRET` env variable:
-
-```bash
-export JPY_COOKIE_SECRET=`openssl rand -hex 1024`
-```
-
-For security reasons, this env variable should only be visible to the Hub.
-
-The Hub authenticates its requests to the Proxy via an environment variable, `CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN`.
-If you want to be able to start or restart the proxy or Hub independently of each other (not always necessary),
-you must set this environment variable before starting the server (for both the Hub and Proxy):
-
-
-```bash
-export CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN=`openssl rand -hex 32`
-```
-
-This env variable needs to be visible to the Hub and Proxy.
-If you don't set this, the Hub will generate a random key itself,
-which means that any time you restart the Hub you **must also restart the Proxy**.
-If the proxy is a subprocess of the Hub,
-this should happen automatically (this is the default configuration).
-
-
-
-## Configuring Authentication
-
-The default Authenticator uses [PAM][] to authenticate system users with their username and password.
-The default behavior of this Authenticator is to allow any user with an account and password on the system to login.
-You can restrict which users are allowed to login with `Authenticator.whitelist`:
-
-
-```python
-c.Authenticator.whitelist = {'mal', 'zoe', 'inara', 'kaylee'}
-```
-
-Admin users of JupyterHub have the ability to take actions on users' behalf,
-such as stopping and restarting their servers,
-and adding and removing new users from the whitelist.
-Any users in the admin list are automatically added to the whitelist,
-if they are not already present.
-The set of initial Admin users can configured as follows:
-
-```python
-c.Authenticator.admin_users = {'mal', 'zoe'}
-```
-
-If `JupyterHub.admin_access` is True (not default),
-then admin users have permission to log in *as other users* on their respective machines, for debugging.
-**You should make sure your users know if admin_access is enabled.**
-
-### Adding and removing users
-
-Users can be added and removed to the Hub via the admin panel or REST API.
-These users will be added to the whitelist and database.
-Restarting the Hub will not require manually updating the whitelist in your config file,
-as the users will be loaded from the database.
-This means that after starting the Hub once,
-it is not sufficient to remove users from the whitelist in your config file.
-You must also remove them from the database, either by discarding the database file,
-or via the admin UI.
-
-The default PAMAuthenticator is one case of a special kind of authenticator,
-called a LocalAuthenticator,
-indicating that it manages users on the local system.
-When you add a user to the Hub, a LocalAuthenticator checks if that user already exists.
-Normally, there will be an error telling you that the user doesn't exist.
-If you set the configuration value
-
-
-```python
-c.LocalAuthenticator.create_system_users = True
-```
-
-however, adding a user to the Hub that doesn't already exist on the system
-will result in the Hub creating that user via the system `useradd` mechanism.
-This option is typically used on hosted deployments of JupyterHub,
-to avoid the need to manually create all your users before launching the service.
-It is not recommended when running JupyterHub in situations where JupyterHub users maps directly onto UNIX users.
-
-
-## Configuring single-user servers
-
-Since the single-user server is an instance of `ipython notebook`,
-an entire separate multi-process application,
-there are many aspect of that server can configure,
-and a lot of ways to express that configuration.
-
-At the JupyterHub level, you can set some values on the Spawner.
-The simplest of these is `Spawner.notebook_dir`,
-which lets you set the root directory for a user's server.
-This root notebook directory is the highest level directory users will be able to access in the notebook dashboard.
-In this example, the root notebook directory is set to `~/notebooks`,
-where `~` is expanded to the user's home directory.
-
-```python
-c.Spawner.notebook_dir = '~/notebooks'
-```
-
-You can also specify extra command-line arguments to the notebook server with:
-
-```python
-c.Spawner.args = ['--debug', '--profile=PHYS131']
-```
-
-This could be used to set the users default page for the single user server:
-
-```python
-c.Spawner.args = ['--NotebookApp.default_url=/notebooks/Welcome.ipynb']
-```
-
-Since the single-user server extends the notebook server application,
-it still loads configuration from the `ipython_notebook_config.py` config file.
-Each user may have one of these files in `$HOME/.ipython/profile_default/`.
-IPython also supports loading system-wide config files from `/etc/ipython/`,
-which is the place to put configuration that you want to affect all of your users.
-
-## External services
-
-JupyterHub has a REST API that can be used to run external services.
-More detail on this API will be added in the future.
-
-## File locations
-
-It is recommended to put all of the files used by JupyterHub into standard UNIX filesystem locations.
-
-* `/srv/jupyterhub` for all security and runtime files
-* `/etc/jupyterhub` for all configuration files
-* `/var/log` for log files
-
-## Example
-
-In the following example, we show a configuration files for a fairly standard JupyterHub deployment with the following assumptions:
-
-* JupyterHub is running on a single cloud server
-* Using SSL on the standard HTTPS port 443
-* You want to use [GitHub OAuth][oauthenticator] for login
-* You need the users to exist locally on the server
-* You want users' notebooks to be served from `~/assignments` to allow users to browse for notebooks within
-  other users home directories
-* You want the landing page for each user to be a Welcome.ipynb notebook in their assignments directory.
-* All runtime files are put into `/srv/jupyterhub` and log files in `/var/log`.
-
-Let's start out with `jupyterhub_config.py`:
-
-```python
-# jupyterhub_config.py
-c = get_config()
-
-import os
-pjoin = os.path.join
-
-runtime_dir = os.path.join('/srv/jupyterhub')
-ssl_dir = pjoin(runtime_dir, 'ssl')
-if not os.path.exists(ssl_dir):
-    os.makedirs(ssl_dir)
-
-
-# https on :443
-c.JupyterHub.port = 443
-c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = pjoin(ssl_dir, 'ssl.key')
-c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = pjoin(ssl_dir, 'ssl.cert')
-
-# put the JupyterHub cookie secret and state db
-# in /var/run/jupyterhub
-c.JupyterHub.cookie_secret_file = pjoin(runtime_dir, 'cookie_secret')
-c.JupyterHub.db_url = pjoin(runtime_dir, 'jupyterhub.sqlite')
-# or `--db=/path/to/jupyterhub.sqlite` on the command-line
-
-# put the log file in /var/log
-c.JupyterHub.log_file = '/var/log/jupyterhub.log'
-
-# use GitHub OAuthenticator for local users
-
-c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'oauthenticator.LocalGitHubOAuthenticator'
-c.GitHubOAuthenticator.oauth_callback_url = os.environ['OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL']
-# create system users that don't exist yet
-c.LocalAuthenticator.create_system_users = True
-
-# specify users and admin
-c.Authenticator.whitelist = {'rgbkrk', 'minrk', 'jhamrick'}
-c.Authenticator.admin_users = {'jhamrick', 'rgbkrk'}
-
-# start single-user notebook servers in ~/assignments,
-# with ~/assignments/Welcome.ipynb as the default landing page
-# this config could also be put in
-# /etc/ipython/ipython_notebook_config.py
-c.Spawner.notebook_dir = '~/assignments'
-c.Spawner.args = ['--NotebookApp.default_url=/notebooks/Welcome.ipynb']
-```
-
-Using the GitHub Authenticator [requires a few additional env variables][oauth-setup],
-which we will need to set when we launch the server:
-
-```bash
-export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=github_id
-export GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=github_secret
-export OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL=https://example.com/hub/oauth_callback
-export CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN=super-secret
-jupyterhub -f /path/to/aboveconfig.py
-```

-# How JupyterHub works
-
-JupyterHub is a multi-user server that manages and proxies multiple instances of the single-user <del>IPython</del> Jupyter notebook server.
-
-There are three basic processes involved:
-
-- multi-user Hub (Python/Tornado)
-- configurable http proxy (nodejs)
-- multiple single-user IPython notebook servers (Python/IPython/Tornado)
-
-The proxy is the only process that listens on a public interface.
-The Hub sits behind the proxy at `/hub`.
-Single-user servers sit behind the proxy at `/user/[username]`.
-
-
-## Logging in
-
-When a new browser logs in to JupyterHub, the following events take place:
-
-- Login data is handed to the [Authenticator](#authentication) instance for validation
-- The Authenticator returns the username, if login information is valid
-- A single-user server instance is [Spawned](#spawning) for the logged-in user
-- When the server starts, the proxy is notified to forward `/user/[username]/*` to the single-user server
-- Two cookies are set, one for `/hub/` and another for `/user/[username]`,
-  containing an encrypted token.
-- The browser is redirected to `/user/[username]`, which is handled by the single-user server
-
-Logging into a single-user server is authenticated via the Hub:
-
-- On request, the single-user server forwards the encrypted cookie to the Hub for verification
-- The Hub replies with the username if it is a valid cookie
-- If the user is the owner of the server, access is allowed
-- If it is the wrong user or an invalid cookie, the browser is redirected to `/hub/login`
-
-
-## Customizing  JupyterHub
-
-There are two basic extension points for JupyterHub: How users are authenticated,
-and how their server processes are started.
-Each is governed by a customizable class,
-and JupyterHub ships with just the most basic version of each.
-
-To enable custom authentication and/or spawning,
-subclass Authenticator or Spawner,
-and override the relevant methods.
-
-
-### Authentication
-
-Authentication is customizable via the Authenticator class.
-Authentication can be replaced by any mechanism,
-such as OAuth, Kerberos, etc.
-
-JupyterHub only ships with [PAM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_authentication_module) authentication,
-which requires the server to be run as root,
-or at least with access to the PAM service,
-which regular users typically do not have
-(on Ubuntu, this requires being added to the `shadow` group).
-
-[More info on custom Authenticators](authenticators.md).
-
-See a list of custom Authenticators [on the wiki](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub/wiki/Authenticators).
-
-
-### Spawning
-
-Each single-user server is started by a Spawner.
-The Spawner represents an abstract interface to a process,
-and needs to be able to take three actions:
-
-1. start the process
-2. poll whether the process is still running
-3. stop the process
-

+JupyterHub also provides a REST API for administration of the Hub and users.
+The documentation on `Using JupyterHub's REST API <../reference/rest.html>`_ provides
+information on:
+
+- what you can do with the API
+- creating an API token
+- adding API tokens to the config files
+- making an API request programmatically using the requests library
+- learning more about JupyterHub's API
+
+The same JupyterHub API spec, as found here, is available in an interactive form
+`here (on swagger's petstore) <http://petstore.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/master/docs/rest-api.yml#!/default>`__.
+The `OpenAPI Initiative`_ (fka Swagger™) is a project used to describe
+and document RESTful APIs.

+its link will bring up a GitHub listing of changes. Use `git log` on the
+command line for details.
+
+
+## [Unreleased] 0.8
+
+JupyterHub 0.8 is a big release!
+
+Perhaps the biggest change is the use of OAuth to negotiate authentication
+between the Hub and single-user services.
+Due to this change, it is important that the single-user server
+and Hub are both running the same version of JupyterHub.
+If you are using containers (e.g. via DockerSpawner or KubeSpawner),
+this means upgrading jupyterhub in your user images at the same time as the Hub.
+In most cases, a
+
+    pip install jupyterhub==version
+
+in your Dockerfile is sufficient.
+
+#### Added
+
+- JupyterHub now defined a `.Proxy` API for custom
+  proxy implementations other than the default.
+  The defaults are unchanged,
+  but configuration of the proxy is now done on the `ConfigurableHTTPProxy` class instead of the top-level JupyterHub.
+  TODO: docs for writing a custom proxy.
+- Single-user servers and services
+  (anything that uses HubAuth)
+  can now accept token-authenticated requests via the Authentication header.
+- Authenticators can now store state in the Hub's database.
+  To do so, the `.authenticate` method should return a dict of the form
+
+  ```python
+  {
+      'username': 'name'
+      'state': {}
+  }
+  ```
+
+  This data will be encrypted and requires `JUPYTERHUB_CRYPT_KEY` environment variable to be set
+  and the `Authenticator.enable_auth_state` flag to be True.
+  If these are not set, auth_state returned by the Authenticator will not be stored.
+- There is preliminary support for multiple (named) servers per user in the REST API.
+  Named servers can be created via API requests, but there is currently no UI for managing them.
+- Add `LocalProcessSpawner.popen_kwargs` and `LocalProcessSpawner.shell_cmd`
+  for customizing how user server processes are launched.
+- Add `Authenticator.auto_login` flag for skipping the "Login with..." page explicitly.
+- Add `JupyterHub.hub_connect_ip` configuration
+  for the ip that should be used when connecting to the Hub.
+  This is promoting (and deprecating) `DockerSpawner.hub_ip_connect`
+  for use by all Spawners.
+- Add `Spawner.pre_spawn_hook(spawner)` hook for customizing
+  pre-spawn events.
+- Add `JupyterHub.active_server_limit` and `JupyterHub.concurrent_spawn_limit`
+  for limiting the total number of running user servers and the number of pending spawns, respectively.
+
+
+#### Changed
+
+- more arguments to spawners are now passed via environment variables (`.get_env()`)
+  rather than CLI arguments (`.get_args()`)
+- internally generated tokens no longer get extra hash rounds,
+  significantly speeding up authentication.
+  The hash rounds were deemed unnecessary because the tokens were already
+  generated with high entropy.
+- `JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN` env is available at all times,
+  rather than being removed during single-user start.
+  The token is now accessible to kernel processes,
+  enabling user kernels to make authenticated API requests to Hub-authenticated services.
+- Cookie secrets should be 32B hex instead of large base64 secrets.
+- pycurl is used by default, if available.
+
+#### Fixed
+
+So many things fixed!
+
+- Collisions are checked when users are renamed
+- Fix bug where OAuth authenticators could not logout users
+  due to being redirected right back through the login process.
+- If there are errors loading your config files,
+  JupyterHub will refuse to start with an informative error.
+  Previously, the bad config would be ignored and JupyterHub would launch with default configuration.
+- Raise 403 error on unauthorized user rather than redirect to login,
+  which could cause redirect loop.
+- Set `httponly` on cookies because it's prudent.
+- Improve support for MySQL as the database backend
+- Many race conditions and performance problems under heavy load have been fixed.
+- Fix alembic tagging of database schema versions.
+
+#### Removed
+
+- End support for Python 3.3 
+
+## 0.7
+
+### [0.7.2] - 2017-01-09
+
+#### Added
+
+- Support service environment variables and defaults in `jupyterhub-singleuser`
+  for easier deployment of notebook servers as a Service.
+- Add `--group` parameter for deploying `jupyterhub-singleuser` as a Service with group authentication.
+- Include URL parameters when redirecting through `/user-redirect/`
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fix group authentication for HubAuthenticated services
+
+### [0.7.1] - 2017-01-02
+
+#### Added
+
+- `Spawner.will_resume` for signaling that a single-user server is paused instead of stopped.
+  This is needed for cases like `DockerSpawner.remove_containers = False`,
+  where the first API token is re-used for subsequent spawns.
+- Warning on startup about single-character usernames,
+   caused by common `set('string')` typo in config.
+
+#### Fixed
+
+- Removed spurious warning about empty `next_url`, which is AOK.
+
+### [0.7.0] - 2016-12-2
+
+#### Added
+
+- Implement Services API [\#705](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/705)
+- Add `/api/` and `/api/info` endpoints [\#675](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/675)
+- Add documentation for JupyterLab, pySpark configuration, troubleshooting,
+  and more.
+- Add logging of error if adding users already in database.  [\#689](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/689)
+- Add HubAuth class for authenticating with JupyterHub. This class can
+  be used by any application, even outside tornado.
+- Add user groups.
+- Add `/hub/user-redirect/...` URL for redirecting users to a file on their own server.
+
+
+#### Changed
+
+- Always install with setuptools but not eggs (effectively require
+  `pip install .`) [\#722](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/722)
+- Updated formatting of changelog. [\#711](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/711)
+- Single-user server is provided by JupyterHub package, so single-user servers depend on JupyterHub now.
+
+#### Fixed
+
+- Fix docker repository location [\#719](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/719)
+- Fix swagger spec conformance and timestamp type in API spec
+- Various redirect-loop-causing bugs have been fixed.
+
+
+#### Removed
+
+- Deprecate `--no-ssl` command line option. It has no meaning and warns if
+  used. [\#789](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/789)
+- Deprecate `%U` username substitution in favor of `{username}`. [\#748](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/748)
+- Removed deprecated SwarmSpawner link.  [\#699](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/699)
+
+## 0.6
+
+### [0.6.1] - 2016-05-04
+
+Bugfixes on 0.6:
+
+- statsd is an optional dependency, only needed if in use
+- Notice more quickly when servers have crashed
+- Better error pages for proxy errors
+- Add Stop All button to admin panel for stopping all servers at once
+
+### [0.6.0] - 2016-04-25
+
+- JupyterHub has moved to a new `jupyterhub` namespace on GitHub and Docker. What was `juptyer/jupyterhub` is now `jupyterhub/jupyterhub`, etc.
+- `jupyterhub/jupyterhub` image on DockerHub no longer loads the jupyterhub_config.py in an ONBUILD step. A new `jupyterhub/jupyterhub-onbuild` image does this
+- Add statsd support, via `c.JupyterHub.statsd_{host,port,prefix}`
+- Update to traitlets 4.1 `@default`, `@observe` APIs for traits
+- Allow disabling PAM sessions via `c.PAMAuthenticator.open_sessions = False`. This may be needed on SELinux-enabled systems, where our PAM session logic often does not work properly
+- Add `Spawner.environment` configurable, for defining extra environment variables to load for single-user servers
+- JupyterHub API tokens can be pregenerated and loaded via `JupyterHub.api_tokens`, a dict of `token: username`.
+- JupyterHub API tokens can be requested via the REST API, with a POST request to `/api/authorizations/token`.
+  This can only be used if the Authenticator has a username and password.
+- Various fixes for user URLs and redirects
+
+
+## [0.5] - 2016-03-07
+
+
+- Single-user server must be run with Jupyter Notebook ≥ 4.0
+- Require `--no-ssl` confirmation to allow the Hub to be run without SSL (e.g. behind SSL termination in nginx)
+- Add lengths to text fields for MySQL support
+- Add `Spawner.disable_user_config` for preventing user-owned configuration from modifying single-user servers.
+- Fixes for MySQL support.
+- Add ability to run each user's server on its own subdomain. Requires wildcard DNS and wildcard SSL to be feasible. Enable subdomains by setting `JupyterHub.subdomain_host = 'https://jupyterhub.domain.tld[:port]'`.
+- Use `127.0.0.1` for local communication instead of `localhost`, avoiding issues with DNS on some systems.
+- Fix race that could add users to proxy prematurely if spawning is slow.
+
+## 0.4
+
+### [0.4.1] - 2016-02-03
+
+Fix removal of `/login` page in 0.4.0, breaking some OAuth providers.
+
+### [0.4.0] - 2016-02-01
+
+- Add `Spawner.user_options_form` for specifying an HTML form to present to users,
+  allowing users to influence the spawning of their own servers.
+- Add `Authenticator.pre_spawn_start` and `Authenticator.post_spawn_stop` hooks,
+  so that Authenticators can do setup or teardown (e.g. passing credentials to Spawner,
+  mounting data sources, etc.).
+  These methods are typically used with custom Authenticator+Spawner pairs.
+- 0.4 will be the last JupyterHub release where single-user servers running IPython 3 is supported instead of Notebook ≥ 4.0.
+
+
+## [0.3] - 2015-11-04
+
+- No longer make the user starting the Hub an admin
+- start PAM sessions on login
+- hooks for Authenticators to fire before spawners start and after they stop,
+  allowing deeper interaction between Spawner/Authenticator pairs.
+- login redirect fixes
+
+## [0.2] - 2015-07-12
+
+- Based on standalone traitlets instead of IPython.utils.traitlets
+- multiple users in admin panel
+- Fixes for usernames that require escaping
+
+## 0.1 - 2015-03-07
+
+First preview release

+
+```
+* I started a big Amazon machine;
+* I installed Docker and built a custom image containing my software of
+  interest;
+* I ran multiple containers, one connected to port 8000, one on 8001,
+  etc. and gave each student a different port;
+* students could connect in and use the Terminal program in Jupyter to
+  execute commands, and could upload/download files via the Jupyter
+  console interface;
+* in theory I could have used notebooks too, but for this I didn’t have
+  need.
+
+I am aware that JupyterHub can probably do all of this including manage
+the containers, but I’m still a bit shy of diving into that; this was
+fairly straightforward, gave me disposable containers that were isolated
+for each individual student, and worked almost flawlessly.  Should be
+easy to do with RStudio too.

+# Authentication and User Basics
+
+The default Authenticator uses [PAM][] to authenticate system users with
+their username and password. With the default Authenticator, any user
+with an account and password on the system will be allowed to login.
+
+## Create a whitelist of users
+
+You can restrict which users are allowed to login with a whitelist,
+`Authenticator.whitelist`:
+
+
+```python
+c.Authenticator.whitelist = {'mal', 'zoe', 'inara', 'kaylee'}
+```
+
+Users in the whitelist are added to the Hub database when the Hub is
+started.
+
+## Configure admins (`admin_users`)
+
+Admin users of JupyterHub, `admin_users`, can add and remove users from
+the user `whitelist`. `admin_users` can take actions on other users'
+behalf, such as stopping and restarting their servers.
+
+A set of initial admin users, `admin_users` can configured be as follows:
+
+```python
+c.Authenticator.admin_users = {'mal', 'zoe'}
+```
+Users in the admin list are automatically added to the user `whitelist`,
+if they are not already present.
+
+## Give admin access to other users' notebook servers (`admin_access`)
+
+Since the default `JupyterHub.admin_access` setting is False, the admins
+do not have permission to log in to the single user notebook servers
+owned by *other users*. If `JupyterHub.admin_access` is set to True,
+then admins have permission to log in *as other users* on their
+respective machines, for debugging. **As a courtesy, you should make
+sure your users know if admin_access is enabled.**
+
+## Add or remove users from the Hub
+
+Users can be added to and removed from the Hub via either the admin
+panel or the REST API. When a user is **added**, the user will be
+automatically added to the whitelist and database. Restarting the Hub
+will not require manually updating the whitelist in your config file,
+as the users will be loaded from the database.
+
+After starting the Hub once, it is not sufficient to **remove** a user
+from the whitelist in your config file. You must also remove the user
+from the Hub's database, either by deleting the user from JupyterHub's
+admin page, or you can clear the `jupyterhub.sqlite` database and start
+fresh.
+
+## Use LocalAuthenticator to create system users
+
+The `LocalAuthenticator` is a special kind of authenticator that has
+the ability to manage users on the local system. When you try to add a
+new user to the Hub, a `LocalAuthenticator` will check if the user
+already exists. If you set the configuration value, `create_system_users`,
+to `True` in the configuration file, the `LocalAuthenticator` has
+the privileges to add users to the system. The setting in the config
+file is:
+
+```python
+c.LocalAuthenticator.create_system_users = True
+```
+
+Adding a user to the Hub that doesn't already exist on the system will
+result in the Hub creating that user via the system `adduser` command
+line tool. This option is typically used on hosted deployments of
+JupyterHub, to avoid the need to manually create all your users before
+launching the service. This approach is not recommended when running
+JupyterHub in situations where JupyterHub users map directly onto the
+system's UNIX users.
+
+## Use OAuthenticator to support OAuth with popular service providers
+
+JupyterHub's [OAuthenticator][] currently supports the following
+popular services:
+
+- Auth0
+- Bitbucket
+- CILogon
+- GitHub
+- GitLab
+- Globus
+- Google
+- MediaWiki
+- Okpy
+- OpenShift
+
+A generic implementation, which you can use for OAuth authentication
+with any provider, is also available.

+# Configuration Basics
+
+The section contains basic information about configuring settings for a JupyterHub
+deployment. The [Technical Reference](../reference/index.html)
+documentation provides additional details.
+
+This section will help you learn how to:
+
+- generate a default configuration file, `jupyterhub_config.py`
+- start with a specific configuration file
+- configure JupyterHub using command line options
+- find information and examples for some common deployments
+
+## Generate a default config file
+
+On startup, JupyterHub will look by default for a configuration file,
+`jupyterhub_config.py`, in the current working directory.
+
+To generate a default config file, `jupyterhub_config.py`:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub --generate-config
+```
+
+This default `jupyterhub_config.py` file contains comments and guidance for all
+configuration variables and their default values. We recommend storing
+configuration files in the standard UNIX filesystem location, i.e.
+`/etc/jupyterhub`.
+
+## Start with a specific config file
+
+You can load a specific config file and start JupyterHub using:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub -f /path/to/jupyterhub_config.py
+```
+
+If you have stored your configuration file in the recommended UNIX filesystem
+location, `/etc/jupyterhub`, the following command will start JupyterHub using
+the configuration file:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub -f /etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py
+```
+
+The IPython documentation provides additional information on the
+[config system](http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/development/config.html)
+that Jupyter uses.
+
+## Configure using command line options
+
+To display all command line options that are available for configuration:
+
+```bash
+    jupyterhub --help-all
+```
+
+Configuration using the command line options is done when launching JupyterHub.
+For example, to start JupyterHub on ``10.0.1.2:443`` with https, you
+would enter:
+
+```bash
+    jupyterhub --ip 10.0.1.2 --port 443 --ssl-key my_ssl.key --ssl-cert my_ssl.cert
+```    
+
+All configurable options may technically be set on the command-line,
+though some are inconvenient to type. To set a particular configuration
+parameter, `c.Class.trait`, you would use the command line option,
+`--Class.trait`, when starting JupyterHub. For example, to configure the
+`c.Spawner.notebook_dir` trait from the command-line, use the
+`--Spawner.notebook_dir` option:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub --Spawner.notebook_dir='~/assignments'
+```
+
+## Configure for various deployment environments
+
+The default authentication and process spawning mechanisms can be replaced, and
+specific [authenticators](./authenticators-users-basics.html) and
+[spawners](./spawners-basics.html) can be set in the configuration file.
+This enables JupyterHub to be used with a variety of authentication methods or
+process control and deployment environments. [Some examples](../reference/config-examples.html),
+meant as illustration, are:
+
+- Using GitHub OAuth instead of PAM with [OAuthenticator](https://github.com/jupyterhub/oauthenticator)
+- Spawning single-user servers with Docker, using the [DockerSpawner](https://github.com/jupyterhub/dockerspawner)

+# Networking basics
+
+This section will help you with basic proxy and network configuration to:
+
+- set the proxy's IP address and port
+- set the proxy's REST API URL
+- configure the Hub if the Proxy or Spawners are remote or isolated
+- set the `hub_connect_ip` which services will use to communicate with the hub
+
+## Set the Proxy's IP address and port
+
+The Proxy's main IP address setting determines where JupyterHub is available to users.
+By default, JupyterHub is configured to be available on all network interfaces
+(`''`) on port 8000. *Note*: Use of `'*'` is discouraged for IP configuration;
+instead, use of `'0.0.0.0'` is preferred.
+
+Changing the Proxy's main IP address and port can be done with the following
+JupyterHub **command line options**:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub --ip=192.168.1.2 --port=443
+```
+
+Or by placing the following lines in a **configuration file**,
+`jupyterhub_config.py`:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.ip = '192.168.1.2'
+c.JupyterHub.port = 443
+```
+
+Port 443 is used in the examples since 443 is the default port for SSL/HTTPS.
+
+Configuring only the main IP and port of JupyterHub should be sufficient for
+most deployments of JupyterHub. However, more customized scenarios may need
+additional networking details to be configured.
+
+## Set the Proxy's REST API communication URL (optional)
+
+By default, this REST API listens on port 8081 of `localhost` only.
+The Hub service talks to the proxy via a REST API on a secondary port. The
+API URL can be configured separately and override the default settings.
+
+### Set api_url
+
+The URL to access the API, `c.configurableHTTPProxy.api_url`, is configurable.
+An example entry to set the proxy's API URL in `jupyterhub_config.py` is:
+
+```python
+c.ConfigurableHTTPProxy.api_url = 'http://10.0.1.4:5432'
+```
+
+### proxy_api_ip and proxy_api_port (Deprecated in 0.8)
+
+If running the Proxy separate from the Hub, configure the REST API communication
+IP address and port by adding this to the `jupyterhub_config.py` file:
+
+```python
+# ideally a private network address
+c.JupyterHub.proxy_api_ip = '10.0.1.4'
+c.JupyterHub.proxy_api_port = 5432
+```
+
+We recommend using the proxy's `api_url` setting instead of the deprecated
+settings, `proxy_api_ip` and `proxy_api_port`.
+
+## Configure the Hub if the Proxy or Spawners are remote or isolated
+
+The Hub service listens only on `localhost` (port 8081) by default.
+The Hub needs to be accessible from both the proxy and all Spawners.
+When spawning local servers, an IP address setting of `localhost` is fine.
+
+If *either* the Proxy *or* (more likely) the Spawners will be remote or
+isolated in containers, the Hub must listen on an IP that is accessible.
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.hub_ip = '10.0.1.4'
+c.JupyterHub.hub_port = 54321
+```
+
+**Added in 0.8:** The `c.JupyterHub.hub_connect_ip` setting is the ip address or
+hostname that other services should use to connect to the Hub. A common
+configuration for, e.g. docker, is:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.hub_ip = '0.0.0.0'  # listen on all interfaces
+c.JupyterHub.hub_connect_ip = '10.0.1.4'  # ip as seen on the docker network. Can also be a hostname.
+```

+Security settings
+=================
+
+.. important::
+
+   You should not run JupyterHub without SSL encryption on a public network.
+
+Security is the most important aspect of configuring Jupyter. Three
+configuration settings are the main aspects of security configuration:
+
+1. :ref:`SSL encryption <ssl-encryption>` (to enable HTTPS)
+2. :ref:`Cookie secret <cookie-secret>` (a key for encrypting browser cookies)
+3. Proxy :ref:`authentication token <authentication-token>` (used for the Hub and
+   other services to authenticate to the Proxy)
+
+The Hub hashes all secrets (e.g., auth tokens) before storing them in its
+database. A loss of control over read-access to the database should have
+minimal impact on your deployment; if your database has been compromised, it
+is still a good idea to revoke existing tokens.
+
+.. _ssl-encryption:
+
+Enabling SSL encryption
+-----------------------
+
+Since JupyterHub includes authentication and allows arbitrary code execution,
+you should not run it without SSL (HTTPS).
+
+Using an SSL certificate
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This will require you to obtain an official, trusted SSL certificate or create a
+self-signed certificate. Once you have obtained and installed a key and
+certificate you need to specify their locations in the ``jupyterhub_config.py``
+configuration file as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = '/path/to/my.key'
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = '/path/to/my.cert'
+
+
+Some cert files also contain the key, in which case only the cert is needed. It
+is important that these files be put in a secure location on your server, where
+they are not readable by regular users.
+
+If you are using a **chain certificate**, see also chained certificate for SSL
+in the JupyterHub `troubleshooting FAQ <troubleshooting>`_.
+
+Using letsencrypt
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is also possible to use `letsencrypt <https://letsencrypt.org/>`_ to obtain
+a free, trusted SSL certificate. If you run letsencrypt using the default
+options, the needed configuration is (replace ``mydomain.tld`` by your fully
+qualified domain name):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = '/etc/letsencrypt/live/{mydomain.tld}/privkey.pem'
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = '/etc/letsencrypt/live/{mydomain.tld}/fullchain.pem'
+
+If the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is ``example.com``, the following
+would be the needed configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = '/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem'
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = '/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem'
+
+
+If SSL termination happens outside of the Hub
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In certain cases, e.g. behind `SSL termination in NGINX <https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/nginx-ssl-termination/>`_,
+allowing no SSL running on the hub may be the desired configuration option.
+
+.. _cookie-secret:
+
+Cookie secret
+-------------
+
+The cookie secret is an encryption key, used to encrypt the browser cookies
+which are used for authentication. Three common methods are described for
+generating and configuring the cookie secret.
+
+Generating and storing as a cookie secret file
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The cookie secret should be 32 random bytes, encoded as hex, and is typically
+stored in a ``jupyterhub_cookie_secret`` file. An example command to generate the
+``jupyterhub_cookie_secret`` file is:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    openssl rand -hex 32 > /srv/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_cookie_secret
+
+In most deployments of JupyterHub, you should point this to a secure location on
+the file system, such as ``/srv/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_cookie_secret``.
+
+The location of the ``jupyterhub_cookie_secret`` file can be specified in the
+``jupyterhub_config.py`` file as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    c.JupyterHub.cookie_secret_file = '/srv/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_cookie_secret'
+
+If the cookie secret file doesn't exist when the Hub starts, a new cookie
+secret is generated and stored in the file. The file must not be readable by
+``group`` or ``other`` or the server won't start. The recommended permissions
+for the cookie secret file are ``600`` (owner-only rw).
+
+Generating and storing as an environment variable
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you would like to avoid the need for files, the value can be loaded in the
+Hub process from the ``JPY_COOKIE_SECRET`` environment variable, which is a
+hex-encoded string. You can set it this way:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export JPY_COOKIE_SECRET=`openssl rand -hex 32`
+
+For security reasons, this environment variable should only be visible to the
+Hub. If you set it dynamically as above, all users will be logged out each time
+the Hub starts.
+
+Generating and storing as a binary string
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can also set the cookie secret in the configuration file
+itself, ``jupyterhub_config.py``, as a binary string:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    c.JupyterHub.cookie_secret = bytes.fromhex('64 CHAR HEX STRING')
+
+
+.. important::
+
+   If the cookie secret value changes for the Hub, all single-user notebook
+   servers must also be restarted.
+
+
+.. _authentication-token:
+
+Proxy authentication token
+--------------------------
+
+The Hub authenticates its requests to the Proxy using a secret token that
+the Hub and Proxy agree upon. The value of this string should be a random
+string (for example, generated by ``openssl rand -hex 32``).
+
+Generating and storing token in the configuration file
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Or you can set the value in the configuration file, ``jupyterhub_config.py``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    c.JupyterHub.proxy_auth_token = '0bc02bede919e99a26de1e2a7a5aadfaf6228de836ec39a05a6c6942831d8fe5'
+
+Generating and storing as an environment variable
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can pass this value of the proxy authentication token to the Hub and Proxy
+using the ``CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN`` environment variable:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN='openssl rand -hex 32'
+
+This environment variable needs to be visible to the Hub and Proxy.
+
+Default if token is not set
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you don't set the Proxy authentication token, the Hub will generate a random
+key itself, which means that any time you restart the Hub you **must also
+restart the Proxy**. If the proxy is a subprocess of the Hub, this should happen
+automatically (this is the default configuration).

+# External services
+
+When working with JupyterHub, a **Service** is defined as a process
+that interacts with the Hub's REST API. A Service may perform a specific
+or action or task. For example, shutting down individuals' single user
+notebook servers that have been is a good example of a task that could
+be automated by a Service. Let's look at how the [cull_idle_servers][]
+script can be used as a Service.
+
+## Real-world example to cull idle servers
+
+JupyterHub has a REST API that can be used by external services. This
+document will:
+
+- explain some basic information about API tokens
+- clarify that API tokens can be used to authenticate to
+  single-user servers as of [version 0.8.0](../changelog.html)
+- show how the [cull_idle_servers][] script can be:
+    - used in a Hub-managed service
+    - run as a standalone script
+
+Both examples for `cull_idle_servers` will communicate tasks to the
+Hub via the REST API.
+
+## API Token basics
+
+### Create an API token
+
+To run such an external service, an API token must be created and
+provided to the service.
+
+As of [version 0.6.0](../changelog.html), the preferred way of doing
+this is to first generate an API token:
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 32
+```
+
+In [version 0.8.0](../changelog.html), a TOKEN request page for
+generating an API token is available from the JupyterHub user interface:
+
+![Request API TOKEN page](../images/token-request.png)
+
+![API TOKEN success page](../images/token-request-success.png)
+
+### Pass environment variable with token to the Hub
+
+In the case of `cull_idle_servers`, it is passed as the environment
+variable called `JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN`.
+
+### Use API tokens for services and tasks that require external access
+
+While API tokens are often associated with a specific user, API tokens
+can be used by services that require external access for activities
+that may not correspond to a specific human, e.g. adding users during
+setup for a tutorial or workshop. Add a service and its API token to the
+JupyterHub configuration file, `jupyterhub_config.py`:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.services = [
+    {'name': 'adding-users', 'api_token': 'super-secret-token'},
+]
+```
+
+### Restart JupyterHub
+
+Upon restarting JupyterHub, you should see a message like below in the
+logs:
+
+```
+Adding API token for <username>
+```
+
+## Authenticating to single-user servers using API token
+
+In JupyterHub 0.7, there is no mechanism for token authentication to
+single-user servers, and only cookies can be used for authentication.
+0.8 supports using JupyterHub API tokens to authenticate to single-user
+servers.
+
+## Configure `cull-idle` to run as a Hub-Managed Service
+
+In `jupyterhub_config.py`, add the following dictionary for the
+`cull-idle` Service to the `c.JupyterHub.services` list:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.services = [
+    {
+        'name': 'cull-idle',
+        'admin': True,
+        'command': 'python cull_idle_servers.py --timeout=3600'.split(),
+    }
+]
+```
+
+where:
+
+- `'admin': True` indicates that the Service has 'admin' permissions, and
+- `'command'` indicates that the Service will be launched as a
+  subprocess, managed by the Hub.
+
+## Run `cull-idle` manually as a standalone script
+
+Now you can run your script, i.e. `cull_idle_servers`, by providing it
+the API token and it will authenticate through the REST API to
+interact with it.
+
+This will run `cull-idle` manually. `cull-idle` can be run as a standalone
+script anywhere with access to the Hub, and will periodically check for idle
+servers and shut them down via the Hub's REST API. In order to shutdown the
+servers, the token given to cull-idle must have admin privileges.
+
+Generate an API token and store it in the `JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN` environment
+variable. Run `cull_idle_servers.py` manually.

+# Spawners and single-user notebook servers
+
+Since the single-user server is an instance of `jupyter notebook`, an entire separate
+multi-process application, there are many aspect of that server can configure, and a lot of ways
+to express that configuration.
+
+At the JupyterHub level, you can set some values on the Spawner. The simplest of these is
+`Spawner.notebook_dir`, which lets you set the root directory for a user's server. This root
+notebook directory is the highest level directory users will be able to access in the notebook
+dashboard. In this example, the root notebook directory is set to `~/notebooks`, where `~` is
+expanded to the user's home directory.
+
+```python
+c.Spawner.notebook_dir = '~/notebooks'
+```
+
+You can also specify extra command-line arguments to the notebook server with:
+
+```python
+c.Spawner.args = ['--debug', '--profile=PHYS131']
+```
+
+This could be used to set the users default page for the single user server:
+
+```python
+c.Spawner.args = ['--NotebookApp.default_url=/notebooks/Welcome.ipynb']
+```
+
+Since the single-user server extends the notebook server application,
+it still loads configuration from the `jupyter_notebook_config.py` config file.
+Each user may have one of these files in `$HOME/.jupyter/`.
+Jupyter also supports loading system-wide config files from `/etc/jupyter/`,
+which is the place to put configuration that you want to affect all of your users.

+JupyterHub
+==========
+
+`JupyterHub`_, a multi-user **Hub**, spawns, manages, and proxies multiple
+instances of the single-user `Jupyter notebook`_ server.
+JupyterHub can be used to serve notebooks to a class of students, a corporate
+data science group, or a scientific research group.

+
+Three subsystems make up JupyterHub:
+
+* a multi-user **Hub** (tornado process)
+* a **configurable http proxy** (node-http-proxy)
+* multiple **single-user Jupyter notebook servers** (Python/IPython/tornado)
+
+JupyterHub performs the following functions:
+
+- The Hub spawns a proxy
+- The proxy forwards all requests to the Hub by default
+- The Hub handles user login and spawns single-user servers on demand
+- The Hub configures the proxy to forward URL prefixes to the single-user
+  notebook servers
+
+For convenient administration of the Hub, its users, and services,
+JupyterHub also provides a `REST API`_.

+# Installation Basics
+
+## Platform support
+
+JupyterHub is supported on Linux/Unix based systems. To use JupyterHub, you need
+a Unix server (typically Linux) running somewhere that is accessible to your
+team on the network. The JupyterHub server can be on an internal network at your
+organization, or it can run on the public internet (in which case, take care
+with the Hub's [security](./security-basics.html)).
+
+JupyterHub officially **does not** support Windows. You may be able to use
+JupyterHub on Windows if you use a Spawner and Authenticator that work on
+Windows, but the JupyterHub defaults will not. Bugs reported on Windows will not
+be accepted, and the test suite will not run on Windows. Small patches that fix
+minor Windows compatibility issues (such as basic installation) **may** be accepted,
+however. For Windows-based systems, we would recommend running JupyterHub in a
+docker container or Linux VM.
+
+[Additional Reference:](http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/#installation)
+Tornado's documentation on Windows platform support
+
+## Planning your installation
+
+Prior to beginning installation, it's helpful to consider some of the following:
+
+- deployment system (bare metal, Docker)
+- Authentication (PAM, OAuth, etc.)
+- Spawner of singleuser notebook servers (Docker, Batch, etc.)
+- Services (nbgrader, etc.)
+- JupyterHub database (default SQLite; traditional RDBMS such as PostgreSQL,)
+  MySQL, or other databases supported by [SQLAlchemy](http://www.sqlalchemy.org))  
+
+## Folders and File Locations
+
+It is recommended to put all of the files used by JupyterHub into standard
+UNIX filesystem locations.
+
+- `/srv/jupyterhub` for all security and runtime files
+- `/etc/jupyterhub` for all configuration files
+- `/var/log` for log files

+Using Docker
+============
+
+.. important::
+
+   We highly recommend following the `Zero to JupyterHub`_ tutorial for
+   installing JupyterHub.
+
+Alternate installation using Docker
+-----------------------------------
+
+A ready to go `docker image <https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/>`_
+gives a straightforward deployment of JupyterHub.
+
+.. note::
+
+    This ``jupyterhub/jupyterhub`` docker image is only an image for running
+    the Hub service itself. It does not provide the other Jupyter components,
+    such as Notebook installation, which are needed by the single-user servers.
+    To run the single-user servers, which may be on the same system as the Hub or
+    not, Jupyter Notebook version 4 or greater must be installed.
+
+Starting JupyterHub with docker
+-------------------------------
+
+The JupyterHub docker image can be started with the following command::
+
+    docker run -d --name jupyterhub jupyterhub/jupyterhub jupyterhub
+
+This command will create a container named ``jupyterhub`` that you can
+**stop and resume** with ``docker stop/start``.
+
+The Hub service will be listening on all interfaces at port 8000, which makes
+this a good choice for **testing JupyterHub on your desktop or laptop**.
+
+If you want to run docker on a computer that has a public IP then you should
+(as in MUST) **secure it with ssl** by adding ssl options to your docker
+configuration or using a ssl enabled proxy.
+
+`Mounting volumes <https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/containers/dockervolumes/>`_
+will allow you to store data outside the docker image (host system) so it will
+be persistent, even when you start a new image.
+
+The command ``docker exec -it jupyterhub bash`` will spawn a root shell in your
+docker container. You can use the root shell to **create system users in the container**.
+These accounts will be used for authentication in JupyterHub's default
+configuration.

+# Quickstart
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before installing JupyterHub, you will need:
+
+- a Linux/Unix based system
+- [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) 3.4 or greater. An understanding
+  of using [`pip`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) or
+  [`conda`](https://conda.io/docs/get-started.html) for
+  installing Python packages is helpful.
+- [nodejs/npm](https://www.npmjs.com/). [Install nodejs/npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node),
+  using your operating system's package manager. For example, install on Linux
+  Debian/Ubuntu using:
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy
+  ```
+
+  The `nodejs-legacy` package installs the `node` executable and is currently
+  required for `npm` to work on Debian/Ubuntu.
+- TLS certificate and key for HTTPS communication
+- Domain name
+
+Before running the single-user notebook servers (which may be on the same
+system as the Hub or not), you will need:
+
+- [Jupyter Notebook](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html)
+  version 4 or greater
+
+## Installation
+
+JupyterHub can be installed with `pip` (and the proxy with `npm`) or `conda`:
+
+**pip, npm:**
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install jupyterhub
+npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
+python3 -m pip install notebook  # needed if running the notebook servers locally
+```
+
+**conda** (one command installs jupyterhub and proxy):
+
+```bash
+conda install -c conda-forge jupyterhub  # installs jupyterhub and proxy
+conda install notebook  # needed if running the notebook servers locally
+```
+
+Test your installation. If installed, these commands should return the packages'
+help contents:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub -h
+configurable-http-proxy -h
+```
+
+## Start the Hub server
+
+To start the Hub server, run the command:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub
+```
+
+Visit `https://localhost:8000` in your browser, and sign in with your unix
+credentials.
+
+To **allow multiple users to sign in** to the Hub server, you must start
+`jupyterhub` as a *privileged user*, such as root:
+
+```bash
+sudo jupyterhub
+```
+
+The [wiki](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/wiki/Using-sudo-to-run-JupyterHub-without-root-privileges)
+describes how to run the server as a *less privileged user*. This requires
+additional configuration of the system.

+# Authenticators
+
+The [Authenticator][] is the mechanism for authorizing users to use the
+Hub and single user notebook servers.
+
+## The default PAM Authenticator
+
+JupyterHub ships only with the default [PAM][]-based Authenticator,
+for logging in with local user accounts via a username and password.
+
+## The OAuthenticator
+
+Some login mechanisms, such as [OAuth][], don't map onto username and
+password authentication, and instead use tokens. When using these
+mechanisms, you can override the login handlers.
+
+You can see an example implementation of an Authenticator that uses
+[GitHub OAuth][] at [OAuthenticator][].
+
+JupyterHub's [OAuthenticator][] currently supports the following
+popular services:
+
+- Auth0
+- Bitbucket
+- CILogon
+- GitHub
+- GitLab
+- Globus
+- Google
+- MediaWiki
+- Okpy
+- OpenShift
+
+A generic implementation, which you can use for OAuth authentication
+with any provider, is also available.
+
+## Additional Authenticators
+
+- ldapauthenticator for LDAP
+- tmpauthenticator for temporary accounts
+
+## Technical Overview of Authentication
+
+### How the Base Authenticator works
+
+The base authenticator uses simple username and password authentication.
+
+The base Authenticator has one central method:
+
+#### Authenticator.authenticate method
+
+    Authenticator.authenticate(handler, data)
+
+This method is passed the Tornado `RequestHandler` and the `POST data`
+from JupyterHub's login form. Unless the login form has been customized,
+`data` will have two keys:
+
+- `username`
+- `password`
+
+The `authenticate` method's job is simple:
+
+- return the username (non-empty str) of the authenticated user if
+  authentication is successful
+- return `None` otherwise
+
+Writing an Authenticator that looks up passwords in a dictionary
+requires only overriding this one method:
+
+```python
+from tornado import gen
+from IPython.utils.traitlets import Dict
+from jupyterhub.auth import Authenticator
+
+class DictionaryAuthenticator(Authenticator):
+
+    passwords = Dict(config=True,
+        help="""dict of username:password for authentication"""
+    )
+
+    @gen.coroutine
+    def authenticate(self, handler, data):
+        if self.passwords.get(data['username']) == data['password']:
+            return data['username']
+```
+
+#### Normalize usernames
+
+Since the Authenticator and Spawner both use the same username,
+sometimes you want to transform the name coming from the authentication service
+(e.g. turning email addresses into local system usernames) before adding them to the Hub service.
+Authenticators can define `normalize_username`, which takes a username.
+The default normalization is to cast names to lowercase
+
+For simple mappings, a configurable dict `Authenticator.username_map` is used to turn one name into another:
+
+```python
+c.Authenticator.username_map  = {
+  'service-name': 'localname'
+}
+```
+
+#### Validate usernames
+
+In most cases, there is a very limited set of acceptable usernames.
+Authenticators can define `validate_username(username)`,
+which should return True for a valid username and False for an invalid one.
+The primary effect this has is improving error messages during user creation.
+
+The default behavior is to use configurable `Authenticator.username_pattern`,
+which is a regular expression string for validation.
+
+To only allow usernames that start with 'w':
+
+```python
+c.Authenticator.username_pattern = r'w.*'
+```
+
+### How to write a custom authenticator
+
+You can use custom Authenticator subclasses to enable authentication
+via other mechanisms. One such example is using [GitHub OAuth][].
+
+Because the username is passed from the Authenticator to the Spawner,
+a custom Authenticator and Spawner are often used together.
+
+See a list of custom Authenticators [on the wiki](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/wiki/Authenticators).
+
+If you are interested in writing a custom authenticator, you can read
+[this tutorial](http://jupyterhub-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/authenticators.html).
+
+
+## JupyterHub as an OAuth provider

+# Configuration examples
+
+This section provides examples, including configuration files and tips, for the
+following configurations:
+
+- Using GitHub OAuth
+- Using nginx reverse proxy
+
+## Using GitHub OAuth
+
+In this example, we show a configuration file for a fairly standard JupyterHub
+deployment with the following assumptions:
+
+* Running JupyterHub on a single cloud server
+* Using SSL on the standard HTTPS port 443
+* Using GitHub OAuth (using oauthenticator) for login
+* Users exist locally on the server
+* Users' notebooks to be served from `~/assignments` to allow users to browse
+  for notebooks within other users' home directories
+* You want the landing page for each user to be a `Welcome.ipynb` notebook in
+  their assignments directory.
+* All runtime files are put into `/srv/jupyterhub` and log files in `/var/log`.
+
+The `jupyterhub_config.py` file would have these settings:
+
+```python
+# jupyterhub_config.py file
+c = get_config()
+
+import os
+pjoin = os.path.join
+
+runtime_dir = os.path.join('/srv/jupyterhub')
+ssl_dir = pjoin(runtime_dir, 'ssl')
+if not os.path.exists(ssl_dir):
+    os.makedirs(ssl_dir)
+
+# Allows multiple single-server per user
+c.JupyterHub.allow_named_servers = True
+
+# https on :443
+c.JupyterHub.port = 443
+c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = pjoin(ssl_dir, 'ssl.key')
+c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = pjoin(ssl_dir, 'ssl.cert')
+
+# put the JupyterHub cookie secret and state db
+# in /var/run/jupyterhub
+c.JupyterHub.cookie_secret_file = pjoin(runtime_dir, 'cookie_secret')
+c.JupyterHub.db_url = pjoin(runtime_dir, 'jupyterhub.sqlite')
+# or `--db=/path/to/jupyterhub.sqlite` on the command-line
+
+# use GitHub OAuthenticator for local users
+c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'oauthenticator.LocalGitHubOAuthenticator'
+c.GitHubOAuthenticator.oauth_callback_url = os.environ['OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL']
+
+# create system users that don't exist yet
+c.LocalAuthenticator.create_system_users = True
+
+# specify users and admin
+c.Authenticator.whitelist = {'rgbkrk', 'minrk', 'jhamrick'}
+c.Authenticator.admin_users = {'jhamrick', 'rgbkrk'}
+
+# start single-user notebook servers in ~/assignments,
+# with ~/assignments/Welcome.ipynb as the default landing page
+# this config could also be put in
+# /etc/jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
+c.Spawner.notebook_dir = '~/assignments'
+c.Spawner.args = ['--NotebookApp.default_url=/notebooks/Welcome.ipynb']
+```
+
+Using the GitHub Authenticator requires a few additional
+environment variable to be set prior to launching JupyterHub:
+
+```bash
+export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=github_id
+export GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=github_secret
+export OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL=https://example.com/hub/oauth_callback
+export CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN=super-secret
+# append log output to log file /var/log/jupyterhub.log
+jupyterhub -f /etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py &>> /var/log/jupyterhub.log
+```
+
+## Using nginx reverse proxy
+
+In the following example, we show configuration files for a JupyterHub server
+running locally on port `8000` but accessible from the outside on the standard
+SSL port `443`. This could be useful if the JupyterHub server machine is also
+hosting other domains or content on `443`. The goal in this example is to
+satisfy the following:
+
+* JupyterHub is running on a server, accessed *only* via `HUB.DOMAIN.TLD:443`
+* On the same machine, `NO_HUB.DOMAIN.TLD` strictly serves different content,
+  also on port `443`
+* `nginx` is used to manage the web servers / reverse proxy (which means that
+  only nginx will be able to bind two servers to `443`)
+* After testing, the server in question should be able to score an A+ on the
+  Qualys SSL Labs [SSL Server Test](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/)
+
+Let's start out with needed JupyterHub configuration in `jupyterhub_config.py`:
+
+```python
+# Force the proxy to only listen to connections to 127.0.0.1
+c.JupyterHub.ip = '127.0.0.1'
+```
+
+The **`nginx` server config file** is fairly standard fare except for the two
+`location` blocks within the `HUB.DOMAIN.TLD` config file:
+
+```bash
+# HTTP server to redirect all 80 traffic to SSL/HTTPS
+server {
+	listen 80;
+	server_name HUB.DOMAIN.TLD;
+
+	# Tell all requests to port 80 to be 302 redirected to HTTPS
+	return 302 https://$host$request_uri;
+}
+
+# HTTPS server to handle JupyterHub
+server {
+	listen 443;
+	ssl on;
+
+	server_name HUB.DOMAIN.TLD;
+
+	ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/HUB.DOMAIN.TLD/fullchain.pem;
+	ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/HUB.DOMAIN.TLD/privkey.pem;
+
+	ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
+    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
+    ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem;
+    ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA';
+    ssl_session_timeout 1d;
+    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:50m;
+    ssl_stapling on;
+    ssl_stapling_verify on;
+    add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=15768000;
+
+	# Managing literal requests to the JupyterHub front end
+	location / {
+		proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8000;
+		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+		proxy_set_header Host $host;
+		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+    }
+
+	# Managing WebHook/Socket requests between hub user servers and external proxy
+    location ~* /(api/kernels/[^/]+/(channels|iopub|shell|stdin)|terminals/websocket)/? {
+		proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8000;
+
+		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+		proxy_set_header Host $host;
+		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+		# WebSocket support
+		proxy_http_version 1.1;
+		proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+		proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
+
+    }
+
+	# Managing requests to verify letsencrypt host
+    location ~ /.well-known {
+		allow all;
+    }
+
+
+}
+```
+
+`nginx` will now be the front facing element of JupyterHub on `443` which means
+it is also free to bind other servers, like `NO_HUB.DOMAIN.TLD` to the same port
+on the same machine and network interface. In fact, one can simply use the same
+server blocks as above for `NO_HUB` and simply add line for the root directory
+of the site as well as the applicable location call:
+
+```bash
+server {
+	listen 80;
+	server_name NO_HUB.DOMAIN.TLD;
+
+	# Tell all requests to port 80 to be 302 redirected to HTTPS
+	return 302 https://$host$request_uri;
+}
+
+server {
+	listen 443;
+	ssl on;
+
+	# INSERT OTHER SSL PARAMETERS HERE AS ABOVE
+
+	# Set the appropriate root directory
+	root /var/www/html
+
+	# Set URI handling
+	location / {
+		try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
+	}
+
+	# Managing requests to verify letsencrypt host
+    location ~ /.well-known {
+		allow all;
+    }
+
+}
+```
+
+Now just restart `nginx`, restart the JupyterHub, and enjoy accessing
+`https://HUB.DOMAIN.TLD` while serving other content securely on
+`https://NO_HUB.DOMAIN.TLD`.

+# Using JupyterHub's REST API
+
+This section will give you information on:
+
+- what you can do with the API
+- create an API token
+- add API tokens to the config files
+- make an API request programmatically using the requests library
+- learn more about JupyterHub's API
+
+## What you can do with the API
+
+Using the [JupyterHub REST API][], you can perform actions on the Hub,
+such as:
+
+- checking which users are active
+- adding or removing users
+- stopping or starting single user notebook servers
+- authenticating services
+
+A [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer)
+API provides a standard way for users to get and send information to the
+Hub.
+
+## Create an API token
+
+To send requests using JupyterHub API, you must pass an API token with
+the request.
+
+As of [version 0.6.0](../changelog.html), the preferred way of
+generating an API token is:
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 32
+```
+
+This `openssl` command generates a potential token that can then be
+added to JupyterHub using `.api_tokens` configuration setting in
+`jupyterhub_config.py`.
+
+Alternatively, use the `jupyterhub token` command to generate a token
+for a specific hub user by passing the 'username':
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub token <username>
+```
+
+This command generates a random string to use as a token and registers
+it for the given user with the Hub's database.
+
+In [version 0.8.0](../changelog.html), a TOKEN request page for
+generating an API token is available from the JupyterHub user interface:
+
+![Request API TOKEN page](../images/token-request.png)
+
+![API TOKEN success page](../images/token-request-success.png)
+
+## Add API tokens to the config file
+
+You may also add a dictionary of API tokens and usernames to the hub's
+configuration file, `jupyterhub_config.py` (note that
+the **key** is the 'secret-token' while the **value** is the 'username'):
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.api_tokens = {
+    'secret-token': 'username',
+}
+```
+
+## Make an API request
+
+To authenticate your requests, pass the API token in the request's
+Authorization header.
+
+### Use requests
+
+Using the popular Python [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/)
+library, here's example code to make an API request for the users of a JupyterHub
+deployment. An API GET request is made, and the request sends an API token for
+authorization. The response contains information about the users:
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+api_url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/hub/api'
+
+r = requests.get(api_url + '/users',
+    headers={
+             'Authorization': 'token %s' % token,
+            }
+    )
+
+r.raise_for_status()
+users = r.json()
+```
+
+This example provides a slightly more complicated request, yet the
+process is very similar:
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+api_url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/hub/api'
+
+data = {'name': 'mygroup', 'users': ['user1', 'user2']}
+
+r = requests.post(api_url + '/groups/formgrade-data301/users',
+    headers={
+             'Authorization': 'token %s' % token,
+            },
+    json=data
+)
+r.raise_for_status()
+r.json()
+```
+
+Note that the API token authorizes **JupyterHub** REST API requests. The same
+token does **not** authorize access to the [Jupyter Notebook REST API][]
+provided by notebook servers managed by JupyterHub. A different token is used
+to access the **Jupyter Notebook** API.
+
+## Learn more about the API
+
+You can see the full [JupyterHub REST API][] for details. This REST API Spec can
+be viewed in a more [interactive style on swagger's petstore][].
+Both resources contain the same information and differ only in its display.
+Note: The Swagger specification is being renamed the [OpenAPI Initiative][].

+# Services
+
+With version 0.7, JupyterHub adds support for **Services**.
+
+This section provides the following information about Services:
+
+- [Definition of a Service](#definition-of-a-service)
+- [Properties of a Service](#properties-of-a-service)
+- [Hub-Managed Services](#hub-managed-services)
+- [Launching a Hub-Managed Service](#launching-a-hub-managed-service)
+- [Externally-Managed Services](#externally-managed-services)
+- [Writing your own Services](#writing-your-own-services)
+- [Hub Authentication and Services](#hub-authentication-and-services)
+
+## Definition of a Service
+
+When working with JupyterHub, a **Service** is defined as a process that interacts
+with the Hub's REST API. A Service may perform a specific or
+action or task. For example, the following tasks can each be a unique Service:
+
+- shutting down individuals' single user notebook servers that have been idle
+  for some time
+- registering additional web servers which should use the Hub's authentication
+  and be served behind the Hub's proxy.
+
+Two key features help define a Service:
+
+- Is the Service **managed** by JupyterHub?
+- Does the Service have a web server that should be added to the proxy's
+  table?
+
+Currently, these characteristics distinguish two types of Services:
+
+- A **Hub-Managed Service** which is managed by JupyterHub
+- An **Externally-Managed Service** which runs its own web server and
+  communicates operation instructions via the Hub's API.
+
+## Properties of a Service
+
+A Service may have the following properties:
+
+- `name: str` - the name of the service
+- `admin: bool (default - false)` - whether the service should have
+  administrative privileges
+- `url: str (default - None)` - The URL where the service is/should be. If a
+  url is specified for where the Service runs its own web server,
+  the service will be added to the proxy at `/services/:name`
+- `api_token: str (default - None)` - For Externally-Managed Services you need to specify 
+  an API token to perform API requests to the Hub
+
+If a service is also to be managed by the Hub, it has a few extra options:
+
+- `command: (str/Popen list`) - Command for JupyterHub to spawn the service.
+      - Only use this if the service should be a subprocess.
+      - If command is not specified, the Service is assumed to be managed
+        externally.
+      - If a command is specified for launching the Service, the Service will
+        be started and managed by the Hub.
+- `environment: dict` - additional environment variables for the Service.
+- `user: str` - the name of a system user to manage the Service. If
+  unspecified, run as the same user as the Hub.
+
+## Hub-Managed Services
+
+A **Hub-Managed Service** is started by the Hub, and the Hub is responsible
+for the Service's actions. A Hub-Managed Service can only be a local
+subprocess of the Hub. The Hub will take care of starting the process and
+restarts it if it stops.
+
+While Hub-Managed Services share some similarities with notebook Spawners,
+there are no plans for Hub-Managed Services to support the same spawning
+abstractions as a notebook Spawner.
+
+If you wish to run a Service in a Docker container or other deployment
+environments, the Service can be registered as an
+**Externally-Managed Service**, as described below.
+
+## Launching a Hub-Managed Service
+
+A Hub-Managed Service is characterized by its specified `command` for launching
+the Service. For example, a 'cull idle' notebook server task configured as a
+Hub-Managed Service would include:
+
+- the Service name,
+- admin permissions, and
+- the `command` to launch the Service which will cull idle servers after a
+  timeout interval
+
+This example would be configured as follows in `jupyterhub_config.py`:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.services = [
+    {
+        'name': 'cull-idle',
+        'admin': True,
+        'command': ['python', '/path/to/cull-idle.py', '--timeout']
+    }
+]
+```
+
+A Hub-Managed Service may also be configured with additional optional
+parameters, which describe the environment needed to start the Service process:
+
+- `environment: dict` - additional environment variables for the Service.
+- `user: str` - name of the user to run the server if different from the Hub.
+   Requires Hub to be root.
+- `cwd: path` directory in which to run the Service, if different from the
+   Hub directory.
+
+The Hub will pass the following environment variables to launch the Service:
+
+```bash
+JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_NAME:   The name of the service
+JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN:      API token assigned to the service
+JUPYTERHUB_API_URL:        URL for the JupyterHub API (default, http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub/api)
+JUPYTERHUB_BASE_URL:       Base URL of the Hub (https://mydomain[:port]/)
+JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_PREFIX: URL path prefix of this service (/services/:service-name/)
+JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_URL:    Local URL where the service is expected to be listening.
+                           Only for proxied web services.
+```
+
+For the previous 'cull idle' Service example, these environment variables
+would be passed to the Service when the Hub starts the 'cull idle' Service:
+
+```bash
+JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_NAME: 'cull-idle'
+JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN: API token assigned to the service
+JUPYTERHUB_API_URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub/api
+JUPYTERHUB_BASE_URL: https://mydomain[:port]
+JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_PREFIX: /services/cull-idle/
+```
+
+See the JupyterHub GitHub repo for additional information about the
+[`cull-idle` example](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/tree/master/examples/cull-idle).
+
+## Externally-Managed Services
+
+You may prefer to use your own service management tools, such as Docker or
+systemd, to manage a JupyterHub Service. These **Externally-Managed
+Services**, unlike Hub-Managed Services, are not subprocesses of the Hub. You
+must tell JupyterHub which API token the Externally-Managed Service is using
+to perform its API requests. Each Externally-Managed Service will need a
+unique API token, because the Hub authenticates each API request and the API
+token is used to identify the originating Service or user.
+
+A configuration example of an Externally-Managed Service with admin access and
+running its own web server is:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.services = [
+    {
+        'name': 'my-web-service',
+        'url': 'https://10.0.1.1:1984',
+        'api_token': 'super-secret',
+    }
+]
+```
+
+In this case, the `url` field will be passed along to the Service as
+`JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_URL`.
+
+## Writing your own Services
+
+When writing your own services, you have a few decisions to make (in addition
+to what your service does!):
+
+1. Does my service need a public URL?
+2. Do I want JupyterHub to start/stop the service?
+3. Does my service need to authenticate users?
+
+When a Service is managed by JupyterHub, the Hub will pass the necessary
+information to the Service via the environment variables described above. A
+flexible Service, whether managed by the Hub or not, can make use of these
+same environment variables.
+
+When you run a service that has a url, it will be accessible under a
+`/services/` prefix, such as `https://myhub.horse/services/my-service/`. For
+your service to route proxied requests properly, it must take
+`JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_PREFIX` into account when routing requests. For example, a
+web service would normally service its root handler at `'/'`, but the proxied
+service would need to serve `JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_PREFIX + '/'`.
+
+## Hub Authentication and Services
+
+JupyterHub 0.7 introduces some utilities for using the Hub's authentication
+mechanism to govern access to your service. When a user logs into JupyterHub,
+the Hub sets a **cookie (`jupyterhub-services`)**. The service can use this
+cookie to authenticate requests.
+
+JupyterHub ships with a reference implementation of Hub authentication that
+can be used by services. You may go beyond this reference implementation and
+create custom hub-authenticating clients and services. We describe the process
+below.
+
+The reference, or base, implementation is the [`HubAuth`][HubAuth] class,
+which implements the requests to the Hub.
+
+To use HubAuth, you must set the `.api_token`, either programmatically when constructing the class,
+or via the `JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN` environment variable.
+
+Most of the logic for authentication implementation is found in the
+[`HubAuth.user_for_cookie`](services.auth.html#jupyterhub.services.auth.HubAuth.user_for_cookie)
+method, which makes a request of the Hub, and returns:
+
+- None, if no user could be identified, or
+- a dict of the following form:
+
+  ```python
+  {
+    "name": "username",
+    "groups": ["list", "of", "groups"],
+    "admin": False, # or True
+  }
+  ```
+
+You are then free to use the returned user information to take appropriate
+action.
+
+HubAuth also caches the Hub's response for a number of seconds,
+configurable by the `cookie_cache_max_age` setting (default: five minutes).
+
+### Flask Example
+
+For example, you have a Flask service that returns information about a user.
+JupyterHub's HubAuth class can be used to authenticate requests to the Flask
+service. See the `service-whoami-flask` example in the
+[JupyterHub GitHub repo](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/tree/master/examples/service-whoami-flask)
+for more details.
+
+```python
+from functools import wraps
+import json
+import os
+from urllib.parse import quote
+
+from flask import Flask, redirect, request, Response
+
+from jupyterhub.services.auth import HubAuth
+
+prefix = os.environ.get('JUPYTERHUB_SERVICE_PREFIX', '/')
+
+auth = HubAuth(
+    api_token=os.environ['JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN'],
+    cookie_cache_max_age=60,
+)
+
+app = Flask(__name__)
+
+
+def authenticated(f):
+    """Decorator for authenticating with the Hub"""
+    @wraps(f)
+    def decorated(*args, **kwargs):
+        cookie = request.cookies.get(auth.cookie_name)
+        if cookie:
+            user = auth.user_for_cookie(cookie)
+        else:
+            user = None
+        if user:
+            return f(user, *args, **kwargs)
+        else:
+            # redirect to login url on failed auth
+            return redirect(auth.login_url + '?next=%s' % quote(request.path))
+    return decorated
+
+
+@app.route(prefix + '/')
+@authenticated
+def whoami(user):
+    return Response(
+        json.dumps(user, indent=1, sort_keys=True),
+        mimetype='application/json',
+        )
+```
+
+
+### Authenticating tornado services with JupyterHub
+
+Since most Jupyter services are written with tornado,
+we include a mixin class, [`HubAuthenticated`][HubAuthenticated],
+for quickly authenticating your own tornado services with JupyterHub.
+
+Tornado's `@web.authenticated` method calls a Handler's `.get_current_user`
+method to identify the user. Mixing in `HubAuthenticated` defines
+`get_current_user` to use HubAuth. If you want to configure the HubAuth
+instance beyond the default, you'll want to define an `initialize` method,
+such as:
+
+```python
+class MyHandler(HubAuthenticated, web.RequestHandler):
+    hub_users = {'inara', 'mal'}
+
+    def initialize(self, hub_auth):
+        self.hub_auth = hub_auth
+
+    @web.authenticated
+    def get(self):
+        ...
+```
+
+
+The HubAuth will automatically load the desired configuration from the Service
+environment variables.
+
+If you want to limit user access, you can whitelist users through either the
+`.hub_users` attribute or `.hub_groups`. These are sets that check against the
+username and user group list, respectively. If a user matches neither the user
+list nor the group list, they will not be allowed access. If both are left
+undefined, then any user will be allowed.
+
+
+### Implementing your own Authentication with JupyterHub
+
+If you don't want to use the reference implementation
+(e.g. you find the implementation a poor fit for your Flask app),
+you can implement authentication via the Hub yourself.
+We recommend looking at the [`HubAuth`][HubAuth] class implementation for reference,
+and taking note of the following process:
+
+1. retrieve the cookie `jupyterhub-services` from the request.
+2. Make an API request `GET /hub/api/authorizations/cookie/jupyterhub-services/cookie-value`,
+    where cookie-value is the url-encoded value of the `jupyterhub-services` cookie.
+    This request must be authenticated with a Hub API token in the `Authorization` header.
+    For example, with [requests][]:
+
+    ```python
+    r = requests.get(
+        '/'.join((["http://127.0.0.1:8081/hub/api",
+                   "authorizations/cookie/jupyterhub-services",
+                   quote(encrypted_cookie, safe=''),
+        ]),
+        headers = {
+            'Authorization' : 'token %s' % api_token,
+        },
+    )
+    r.raise_for_status()
+    user = r.json()
+    ```
+
+3. On success, the reply will be a JSON model describing the user:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "name": "inara",
+     "groups": ["serenity", "guild"],
+
+   }
+   ```
+
+An example of using an Externally-Managed Service and authentication is
+in [nbviewer README]_ section on securing the notebook viewer,
+and an example of its configuration is found [here](https://github.com/jupyter/nbviewer/blob/master/nbviewer/providers/base.py#L94).
+nbviewer can also be run as a Hub-Managed Service as described [nbviewer README]_
+section on securing the notebook viewer.

+# Spawners
+
+A [Spawner][] starts each single-user notebook server.
+The Spawner represents an abstract interface to a process,
+and a custom Spawner needs to be able to take three actions:
+
+- start the process
+- poll whether the process is still running
+- stop the process
+
+
+## Examples
+Custom Spawners for JupyterHub can be found on the [JupyterHub wiki](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/wiki/Spawners).
+Some examples include:
+
+- [DockerSpawner](https://github.com/jupyterhub/dockerspawner) for spawning user servers in Docker containers
+  * `dockerspawner.DockerSpawner` for spawning identical Docker containers for
+    each users
+  * `dockerspawner.SystemUserSpawner` for spawning Docker containers with an
+    environment and home directory for each users
+  * both `DockerSpawner` and `SystemUserSpawner` also work with Docker Swarm for
+    launching containers on remote machines
+- [SudoSpawner](https://github.com/jupyterhub/sudospawner) enables JupyterHub to
+  run without being root, by spawning an intermediate process via `sudo`
+- [BatchSpawner](https://github.com/jupyterhub/batchspawner) for spawning remote
+  servers using batch systems
+- [RemoteSpawner](https://github.com/zonca/remotespawner) to spawn notebooks
+  and a remote server and tunnel the port via SSH
+
+
+## Spawner control methods
+
+### Spawner.start
+
+`Spawner.start` should start the single-user server for a single user.
+Information about the user can be retrieved from `self.user`,
+an object encapsulating the user's name, authentication, and server info.
+
+The return value of `Spawner.start` should be the (ip, port) of the running server.
+
+**NOTE:** When writing coroutines, *never* `yield` in between a database change and a commit.
+
+Most `Spawner.start` functions will look similar to this example:
+
+```python
+def start(self):
+    self.ip = '127.0.0.1'
+    self.port = random_port()
+    yield self._actually_start_server_somehow()
+    return (self.ip, self.port)
+```
+
+When `Spawner.start` returns, the single-user server process should actually be running,
+not just requested. JupyterHub can handle `Spawner.start` being very slow
+(such as PBS-style batch queues, or instantiating whole AWS instances)
+via relaxing the `Spawner.start_timeout` config value.
+
+### Spawner.poll
+
+`Spawner.poll` should check if the spawner is still running.
+It should return `None` if it is still running,
+and an integer exit status, otherwise.
+
+For the local process case, `Spawner.poll` uses `os.kill(PID, 0)`
+to check if the local process is still running.
+
+### Spawner.stop
+
+`Spawner.stop` should stop the process. It must be a tornado coroutine, which should return when the process has finished exiting.
+
+
+## Spawner state
+
+JupyterHub should be able to stop and restart without tearing down
+single-user notebook servers. To do this task, a Spawner may need to persist
+some information that can be restored later.
+A JSON-able dictionary of state can be used to store persisted information.
+
+Unlike start, stop, and poll methods, the state methods must not be coroutines.
+
+For the single-process case, the Spawner state is only the process ID of the server:
+
+```python
+def get_state(self):
+    """get the current state"""
+    state = super().get_state()
+    if self.pid:
+        state['pid'] = self.pid
+    return state
+
+def load_state(self, state):
+    """load state from the database"""
+    super().load_state(state)
+    if 'pid' in state:
+        self.pid = state['pid']
+
+def clear_state(self):
+    """clear any state (called after shutdown)"""
+    super().clear_state()
+    self.pid = 0
+```
+
+
+## Spawner options form
+
+(new in 0.4)
+
+Some deployments may want to offer options to users to influence how their servers are started.
+This may include cluster-based deployments, where users specify what resources should be available,
+or docker-based deployments where users can select from a list of base images.
+
+This feature is enabled by setting `Spawner.options_form`, which is an HTML form snippet
+inserted unmodified into the spawn form.
+If the `Spawner.options_form` is defined, when a user tries to start their server, they will be directed to a form page, like this:
+
+![spawn-form](../images/spawn-form.png)
+
+If `Spawner.options_form` is undefined, the user's server is spawned directly, and no spawn page is rendered.
+
+See [this example](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/master/examples/spawn-form/jupyterhub_config.py) for a form that allows custom CLI args for the local spawner.
+
+### `Spawner.options_from_form`
+
+Options from this form will always be a dictionary of lists of strings, e.g.:
+
+```python
+{
+  'integer': ['5'],
+  'text': ['some text'],
+  'select': ['a', 'b'],
+}
+```
+
+When `formdata` arrives, it is passed through `Spawner.options_from_form(formdata)`,
+which is a method to turn the form data into the correct structure.
+This method must return a dictionary, and is meant to interpret the lists-of-strings into the correct types. For example, the `options_from_form` for the above form would look like:
+
+```python
+def options_from_form(self, formdata):
+    options = {}
+    options['integer'] = int(formdata['integer'][0]) # single integer value
+    options['text'] = formdata['text'][0] # single string value
+    options['select'] = formdata['select'] # list already correct
+    options['notinform'] = 'extra info' # not in the form at all
+    return options
+```
+
+which would return:
+
+```python
+{
+  'integer': 5,
+  'text': 'some text',
+  'select': ['a', 'b'],
+  'notinform': 'extra info',
+}
+```
+
+When `Spawner.start` is called, this dictionary is accessible as `self.user_options`.

+
+## Writing a custom spawner
+
+If you are interested in building a custom spawner, you can read [this tutorial](http://jupyterhub-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spawners.html).
+
+## Spawners, resource limits, and guarantees (Optional)
+
+Some spawners of the single-user notebook servers allow setting limits or
+guarantees on resources, such as CPU and memory. To provide a consistent
+experience for sysadmins and users, we provide a standard way to set and
+discover these resource limits and guarantees, such as for memory and CPU. For
+the limits and guarantees to be useful, the spawner must implement support for
+them.
+
+### Memory Limits & Guarantees
+
+`c.Spawner.mem_limit`: A **limit** specifies the *maximum amount of memory*
+that may be allocated, though there is no promise that the maximum amount will
+be available. In supported spawners, you can set `c.Spawner.mem_limit` to
+limit the total amount of memory that a single-user notebook server can
+allocate. Attempting to use more memory than this limit will cause errors. The
+single-user notebook server can discover its own memory limit by looking at
+the environment variable `MEM_LIMIT`, which is specified in absolute bytes.
+
+`c.Spawner.mem_guarantee`: Sometimes, a **guarantee** of a *minumum amount of
+memory* is desirable. In this case, you can set `c.Spawner.mem_guarantee` to
+to provide a guarantee that at minimum this much memory will always be
+available for the single-user notebook server to use. The environment variable
+`MEM_GUARANTEE` will also be set in the single-user notebook server.
+
+The spawner's underlying system or cluster is responsible for enforcing these
+limits and providing these guarantees. If these values are set to `None`, no
+limits or guarantees are provided, and no environment values are set.
+
+### CPU Limits & Guarantees
+
+`c.Spawner.cpu_limit`: In supported spawners, you can set
+`c.Spawner.cpu_limit` to limit the total number of cpu-cores that a
+single-user notebook server can use. These can be fractional - `0.5` means 50%
+of one CPU core, `4.0` is 4 cpu-cores, etc. This value is also set in the
+single-user notebook server's environment variable `CPU_LIMIT`. The limit does
+not claim that you will be able to use all the CPU up to your limit as other
+higher priority applications might be taking up CPU.
+
+`c.Spawner.cpu_guarantee`: You can set `c.Spawner.cpu_guarantee` to provide a
+guarantee for CPU usage. The environment variable `CPU_GUARANTEE` will be set
+in the single-user notebook server when a guarantee is being provided.
+
+The spawner's underlying system or cluster is responsible for enforcing these
+limits and providing these guarantees. If these values are set to `None`, no
+limits or guarantees are provided, and no environment values are set.

+# Technical Overview
+
+The **Technical Overview** section gives you a high-level view of:
+
+- JupyterHub's Subsystems: Hub, Proxy, Single-User Notebook Server
+- how the subsystems interact
+- the process from JupyterHub access to user login
+- JupyterHub's default behavior
+- customizing JupyterHub
+
+The goal of this section is to share a deeper technical understanding of
+JupyterHub and how it works.
+
+## The Subsystems: Hub, Proxy, Single-User Notebook Server
+
+JupyterHub is a set of processes that together provide a single user Jupyter
+Notebook server for each person in a group. Three major subsystems are started
+by the `jupyterhub` command line program:
+
+- **Hub** (Python/Tornado): manages user accounts, authentication, and
+  coordinates Single User Notebook Servers using a Spawner.
+
+- **Proxy**: the public facing part of JupyterHub that uses a dynamic proxy
+  to route HTTP requests to the Hub and Single User Notebook Servers.
+  [configurable http proxy](https://github.com/jupyterhub/configurable-http-proxy)
+  (node-http-proxy) is the default proxy.
+
+- **Single-User Notebook Server** (Python/Tornado): a dedicated,
+  single-user, Jupyter Notebook server is started for each user on the system
+  when the user logs in. The object that starts the single-user notebook
+  servers is called a **Spawner**.    
+
+![JupyterHub subsystems](../images/jhub-parts.png)
+
+## How the Subsystems Interact
+
+Users access JupyterHub through a web browser, by going to the IP address or
+the domain name of the server.
+
+The basic principles of operation are:
+
+- The Hub spawns the proxy (in the default JupyterHub configuration)
+- The proxy forwards all requests to the Hub by default
+- The Hub handles login, and spawns single-user notebook servers on demand
+- The Hub configures the proxy to forward url prefixes to single-user notebook
+  servers
+
+The proxy is the only process that listens on a public interface. The Hub sits
+behind the proxy at `/hub`. Single-user servers sit behind the proxy at
+`/user/[username]`.
+
+Different **[authenticators](./authenticators.html)** control access
+to JupyterHub. The default one (PAM) uses the user accounts on the server where
+JupyterHub is running. If you use this, you will need to create a user account
+on the system for each user on your team. Using other authenticators, you can
+allow users to sign in with e.g. a GitHub account, or with any single-sign-on
+system your organization has.
+
+Next, **[spawners](./spawners.html)** control how JupyterHub starts
+the individual notebook server for each user. The default spawner will
+start a notebook server on the same machine running under their system username.
+The other main option is to start each server in a separate container, often
+using Docker.
+
+## The Process from JupyterHub Access to User Login
+
+When a user accesses JupyterHub, the following events take place:
+
+- Login data is handed to the [Authenticator](./authenticators.html) instance for
+  validation
+- The Authenticator returns the username if the login information is valid
+- A single-user notebook server instance is [spawned](./spawners.html) for the
+  logged-in user
+- When the single-user notebook server starts, the proxy is notified to forward
+  requests to `/user/[username]/*` to the single-user notebook server.
+- A cookie is set on `/hub/`, containing an encrypted token. (Prior to version
+  0.8, a cookie for `/user/[username]` was used too.)
+- The browser is redirected to `/user/[username]`, and the request is handled by
+  the single-user notebook server.
+
+The single-user server identifies the user with the Hub via OAuth:
+
+- on request, the single-user server checks a cookie
+- if no cookie is set, redirect to the Hub for verification via OAuth
+- after verification at the Hub, the browser is redirected back to the
+  single-user server
+- the token is verified and stored in a cookie
+- if no user is identified, the browser is redirected back to `/hub/login`
+
+## Default Behavior
+
+By default, the **Proxy** listens on all public interfaces on port 8000.
+Thus you can reach JupyterHub through either:
+
+- `http://localhost:8000`
+- or any other public IP or domain pointing to your system.
+
+In their default configuration, the other services, the **Hub** and
+**Single-User Notebook Servers**, all communicate with each other on localhost
+only.
+
+By default, starting JupyterHub will write two files to disk in the current
+working directory:
+
+- `jupyterhub.sqlite` is the SQLite database containing all of the state of the
+  **Hub**. This file allows the **Hub** to remember which users are running and
+  where, as well as storing other information enabling you to restart parts of
+  JupyterHub separately. It is important to note that this database contains
+  **no** sensitive information other than **Hub** usernames.
+- `jupyterhub_cookie_secret` is the encryption key used for securing cookies.
+  This file needs to persist so that a **Hub** server restart will avoid
+  invalidating cookies. Conversely, deleting this file and restarting the server
+  effectively invalidates all login cookies. The cookie secret file is discussed
+  in the [Cookie Secret section of the Security Settings document](../getting-started/security-basics.html).
+
+The location of these files can be specified via configuration settings. It is
+recommended that these files be stored in standard UNIX filesystem locations,
+such as `/etc/jupyterhub` for all configuration files and `/srv/jupyterhub` for
+all security and runtime files.
+
+## Customizing JupyterHub
+
+There are two basic extension points for JupyterHub:
+
+- How users are authenticated by [Authenticators](./authenticators.html)
+- How user's single-user notebook server processes are started by
+  [Spawners](./spawners.html)
+
+Each is governed by a customizable class, and JupyterHub ships with basic
+defaults for each.
+
+To enable custom authentication and/or spawning, subclass `Authenticator` or
+`Spawner`, and override the relevant methods.

+# Upgrading JupyterHub and its database
+
+From time to time, you may wish to upgrade JupyterHub to take advantage
+of new releases. Much of this process is automated using scripts,
+such as those generated by alembic for database upgrades. Before upgrading a
+JupyterHub deployment, it's critical to backup your data and configurations
+before shutting down the JupyterHub process and server.
+
+## Databases: SQLite (default) or RDBMS (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
+
+The default database for JupyterHub is a [SQLite](https://sqlite.org) database.
+We have chosen SQLite as JupyterHub's default for its lightweight simplicity
+in certain uses such as testing, small deployments and workshops.
+
+When running a long term deployment or a production system, we recommend using
+a traditional RDBMS database, such as [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org)
+or [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com), that supports the SQL `ALTER TABLE`
+statement.
+
+For production systems, SQLite has some disadvantages when used with JupyterHub:
+
+- `upgrade-db` may not work, and you may need to start with a fresh database
+- `downgrade-db` **will not** work if you want to rollback to an earlier
+  version, so backup the `jupyterhub.sqlite` file before upgrading
+
+The sqlite documentation provides a helpful page about [when to use sqlite and
+where traditional RDBMS may be a better choice](https://sqlite.org/whentouse.html).
+
+## The upgrade process
+
+Five fundamental process steps are needed when upgrading JupyterHub and its
+database:
+
+1. Backup JupyterHub database
+2. Backup JupyterHub configuration file
+3. Shutdown the Hub
+4. Upgrade JupyterHub
+5. Upgrade the database using run `jupyterhub upgrade-db`
+
+Let's take a closer look at each step in the upgrade process as well as some
+additional information about JupyterHub databases.
+
+### Backup JupyterHub database
+
+To prevent unintended loss of data or configuration information, you should
+back up the JupyterHub database (the default SQLite database or a RDBMS
+database using PostgreSQL, MySQL, or others supported by SQLAlchemy):
+
+- If using the default SQLite database, back up the `jupyterhub.sqlite`
+  database.
+- If using an RDBMS database such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other supported by
+  SQLAlchemy, back up the JupyterHub database.
+
+Losing the Hub database is often not a big deal. Information that resides only
+in the Hub database includes:
+
+- active login tokens (user cookies, service tokens)
+- users added via GitHub UI, instead of config files
+- info about running servers
+
+If the following conditions are true, you should be fine clearing the Hub
+database and starting over:
+
+- users specified in config file
+- user servers are stopped during upgrade
+- don't mind causing users to login again after upgrade
+
+### Backup JupyterHub configuration file
+
+Additionally, backing up your configuration file, `jupyterhub_config.py`, to
+a secure location.
+
+### Shutdown JupyterHub
+
+Prior to shutting down JupyterHub, you should notify the Hub users of the
+scheduled downtime. This gives users the opportunity to finish any outstanding
+work in process.
+
+Next, shutdown the JupyterHub service.
+
+### Upgrade JupyterHub
+
+Follow directions that correspond to your package manager, `pip` or `conda`,
+for the new JupyterHub release. These directions will guide you to the
+specific command. In general, `pip install -U jupyterhub` or
+`conda upgrade jupyterhub`
+
+### Upgrade JupyterHub databases
+
+To run the upgrade process for JupyterHub databases, enter:
+
+```
+jupyterhub upgrade-db
+```
+
+## Upgrade checklist
+
+1. Backup JupyterHub database:
+    - `jupyterhub.sqlite` when using the default sqlite database
+    - Your JupyterHub database when using an RDBMS 
+2. Backup JupyterHub configuration file: `jupyterhub_config.py`
+3. Shutdown the Hub
+4. Upgrade JupyterHub
+    - `pip install -U jupyterhub` when using `pip`
+    - `conda upgrade jupyterhub` when using `conda`
+5. Upgrade the database using run `jupyterhub upgrade-db`

+# Security Overview
+
+The **Security Overview** section helps you learn about:
+
+- the design of JupyterHub with respect to web security
+- the semi-trusted user
+- the available mitigations to protect untrusted users from each other
+- the value of periodic security audits.
+
+This overview also helps you obtain a deeper understanding of how JupyterHub
+works.
+
+## Semi-trusted and untrusted users
+
+JupyterHub is designed to be a *simple multi-user server for modestly sized
+groups* of **semi-trusted** users. While the design reflects serving semi-trusted
+users, JupyterHub is not necessarily unsuitable for serving **untrusted** users.
+
+Using JupyterHub with **untrusted** users does mean more work by the
+administrator. Much care is required to secure a Hub, with extra caution on
+protecting users from each other as the Hub is serving untrusted users.
+
+One aspect of JupyterHub's *design simplicity* for **semi-trusted** users is that
+the Hub and single-user servers are placed in a *single domain*, behind a
+[*proxy*][configurable-http-proxy]. If the Hub is serving untrusted
+users, many of the web's cross-site protections are not applied between
+single-user servers and the Hub, or between single-user servers and each
+other, since browsers see the whole thing (proxy, Hub, and single user
+servers) as a single website (i.e. single domain).
+
+## Protect users from each other
+
+To protect users from each other, a user must **never** be able to write arbitrary
+HTML and serve it to another user on the Hub's domain. JupyterHub's
+authentication setup prevents a user writing arbitrary HTML and serving it to
+another user because only the owner of a given single-user notebook server is
+allowed to view user-authored pages served by the given single-user notebook
+server.
+
+To protect all users from each other, JupyterHub administrators must
+ensure that:
+
+* A user **does not have permission** to modify their single-user notebook server,
+  including:
+  - A user **may not** install new packages in the Python environment that runs
+    their single-user server.
+  - If the `PATH` is used to resolve the single-user executable (instead of
+    using an absolute path), a user **may not** create new files in any `PATH`
+    directory that precedes the directory containing `jupyterhub-singleuser`.
+  - A user may not modify environment variables (e.g. PATH, PYTHONPATH) for
+    their single-user server.
+* A user **may not** modify the configuration of the notebook server
+  (the `~/.jupyter` or `JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR` directory).
+
+If any additional services are run on the same domain as the Hub, the services
+**must never** display user-authored HTML that is neither *sanitized* nor *sandboxed*
+(e.g. IFramed) to any user that lacks authentication as the author of a file.
+
+## Mitigate security issues
+
+Several approaches to mitigating these issues with configuration
+options provided by JupyterHub include:
+
+### Enable subdomains
+
+JupyterHub provides the ability to run single-user servers on their own
+subdomains. This means the cross-origin protections between servers has the
+desired effect, and user servers and the Hub are protected from each other. A
+user's single-user server will be at `username.jupyter.mydomain.com`. This also
+requires all user subdomains to point to the same address, which is most easily
+accomplished with wildcard DNS. Since this spreads the service across multiple
+domains, you will need wildcard SSL, as well. Unfortunately, for many
+institutional domains, wildcard DNS and SSL are not available. **If you do plan
+to serve untrusted users, enabling subdomains is highly encouraged**, as it
+resolves the cross-site issues.
+
+### Disable user config
+
+If subdomains are not available or not desirable, JupyterHub provides a a
+configuration option `Spawner.disable_user_config`, which can be set to prevent
+the user-owned configuration files from being loaded. After implementing this
+option, PATHs and package installation and PATHs are the other things that the
+admin must enforce.
+
+### Prevent spawners from evaluating shell configuration files
+
+For most Spawners, `PATH` is not something users can influence, but care should
+be taken to ensure that the Spawner does *not* evaluate shell configuration
+files prior to launching the server.
+
+### Isolate packages using virtualenv
+
+Package isolation is most easily handled by running the single-user server in
+a virtualenv with disabled system-site-packages. The user should not have
+permission to install packages into this environment.
+
+It is important to note that the control over the environment only affects the
+single-user server, and not the environment(s) in which the user's kernel(s)
+may run. Installing additional packages in the kernel environment does not
+pose additional risk to the web application's security.
+
+## Security audits
+
+We recommend that you do periodic reviews of your deployment's security. It's
+good practice to keep JupyterHub, configurable-http-proxy, and nodejs
+versions up to date.
+
+A handy website for testing your deployment is
+[Qualsys' SSL analyzer tool](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html).

+- Where do I find Docker images and Dockerfiles related to JupyterHub?
+
+[*Troubleshooting commands*](#troubleshooting-commands)
+
+## Behavior
+
+### JupyterHub proxy fails to start
+
+If you have tried to start the JupyterHub proxy and it fails to start:
+
+- check if the JupyterHub IP configuration setting is
+  ``c.JupyterHub.ip = '*'``; if it is, try ``c.JupyterHub.ip = ''``
+- Try starting with ``jupyterhub --ip=0.0.0.0``
+
+**Note**: If this occurs on Ubuntu/Debian, check that the you are using a
+recent version of node. Some versions of Ubuntu/Debian come with a version
+of node that is very old, and it is necessary to update node.
+
+### sudospawner fails to run
+
+If the sudospawner script is not found in the path, sudospawner will not run.
+To avoid this, specify sudospawner's absolute path. For example, start
+jupyterhub with:
+
+    jupyterhub --SudoSpawner.sudospawner_path='/absolute/path/to/sudospawner'
+
+or add:
+
+    c.SudoSpawner.sudospawner_path = '/absolute/path/to/sudospawner'
+
+to the config file, `jupyterhub_config.py`.
+
+### What is the default behavior when none of the lists (admin, whitelist, group whitelist) are set?
+
+When nothing is given for these lists, there will be no admins, and all users
+who can authenticate on the system (i.e. all the unix users on the server with
+a password) will be allowed to start a server. The whitelist lets you limit
+this to a particular set of users, and the admin_users lets you specify who
+among them may use the admin interface (not necessary, unless you need to do
+things like inspect other users' servers, or modify the userlist at runtime).
+
+
+## Errors
+
+### 500 error after spawning my single-user server
+
+You receive a 500 error when accessing the URL `/user/<your_name>/...`.
+This is often seen when your single-user server cannot verify your user cookie
+with the Hub.
+
+There are two likely reasons for this:
+
+1. The single-user server cannot connect to the Hub's API (networking
+   configuration problems)
+2. The single-user server cannot *authenticate* its requests (invalid token)
+
+#### Symptoms
+
+The main symptom is a failure to load *any* page served by the single-user
+server, met with a 500 error. This is typically the first page at `/user/<your_name>`
+after logging in or clicking "Start my server". When a single-user notebook server
+receives a request, the notebook server makes an API request to the Hub to
+check if the cookie corresponds to the right user. This request is logged.
+
+If everything is working, the response logged will be similar to this:
+
+```
+200 GET /hub/api/authorizations/cookie/jupyter-hub-token-name/[secret] (@10.0.1.4) 6.10ms
+```
+
+You should see a similar 200 message, as above, in the Hub log when you first
+visit your single-user notebook server. If you don't see this message in the log, it
+may mean that your single-user notebook server isn't connecting to your Hub.
+
+If you see 403 (forbidden) like this, it's a token problem:
+
+```
+403 GET /hub/api/authorizations/cookie/jupyter-hub-token-name/[secret] (@10.0.1.4) 4.14ms
+```
+
+Check the logs of the single-user notebook server, which may have more detailed
+information on the cause.
+
+#### Causes and resolutions
+
+##### No authorization request
+
+If you make an API request and it is not received by the server, you likely
+have a network configuration issue. Often, this happens when the Hub is only
+listening on 127.0.0.1 (default) and the single-user servers are not on the
+same 'machine' (can be physically remote, or in a docker container or VM). The
+fix for this case is to make sure that `c.JupyterHub.hub_ip` is an address
+that all single-user servers can connect to, e.g.:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.hub_ip = '10.0.0.1'
+```
+
+##### 403 GET /hub/api/authorizations/cookie
+
+If you receive a 403 error, the API token for the single-user server is likely
+invalid. Commonly, the 403 error is caused by resetting the JupyterHub
+database (either removing jupyterhub.sqlite or some other action) while
+leaving single-user servers running. This happens most frequently when using
+DockerSpawner, because Docker's default behavior is to stop/start containers
+which resets the JupyterHub database, rather than destroying and recreating
+the container every time. This means that the same API token is used by the
+server for its whole life, until the container is rebuilt.
+
+The fix for this Docker case is to remove any Docker containers seeing this
+issue (typically all containers created before a certain point in time):
+
+    docker rm -f jupyter-name
+
+After this, when you start your server via JupyterHub, it will build a
+new container. If this was the underlying cause of the issue, you should see
+your server again.
+
+
+## How do I...?
+
+### Use a chained SSL certificate
+
+Some certificate providers, i.e. Entrust, may provide you with a chained
+certificate that contains multiple files. If you are using a chained
+certificate you will need to concatenate the individual files by appending the
+chain cert and root cert to your host cert:
+
+    cat your_host.crt chain.crt root.crt > your_host-chained.crt
+
+You would then set in your `jupyterhub_config.py` file the `ssl_key` and
+`ssl_cert` as follows:
+
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = your_host-chained.crt
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = your_host.key
+
+
+#### Example
+
+Your certificate provider gives you the following files: `example_host.crt`,
+`Entrust_L1Kroot.txt` and `Entrust_Root.txt`.
+
+Concatenate the files appending the chain cert and root cert to your host cert:
+
+    cat example_host.crt Entrust_L1Kroot.txt Entrust_Root.txt > example_host-chained.crt
+
+You would then use the `example_host-chained.crt` as the value for
+JupyterHub's `ssl_cert`. You may pass this value as a command line option
+when starting JupyterHub or more conveniently set the `ssl_cert` variable in
+JupyterHub's configuration file, `jupyterhub_config.py`. In `jupyterhub_config.py`,
+set:
+
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = /path/to/example_host-chained.crt
+    c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = /path/to/example_host.key
+
+where `ssl_cert` is example-chained.crt and ssl_key to your private key.
+
+Then restart JupyterHub.
+
+See also [JupyterHub SSL encryption](getting-started.md#ssl-encryption).
+
+### Install JupyterHub without a network connection
+
+Both conda and pip can be used without a network connection. You can make your
+own repository (directory) of conda packages and/or wheels, and then install
+from there instead of the internet.
+
+For instance, you can install JupyterHub with pip and configurable-http-proxy
+with npmbox:
+
+    pip wheel jupyterhub
+    npmbox configurable-http-proxy
+
+### I want access to the whole filesystem, but still default users to their home directory
+
+Setting the following in `jupyterhub_config.py` will configure access to
+the entire filesystem and set the default to the user's home directory.
+
+    c.Spawner.notebook_dir = '/'
+    c.Spawner.default_url = '/home/%U' # %U will be replaced with the username
+
+### How do I increase the number of pySpark executors on YARN?
+
+From the command line, pySpark executors can be configured using a command
+similar to this one:
+
+    pyspark --total-executor-cores 2 --executor-memory 1G
+
+[Cloudera documentation for configuring spark on YARN applications](https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cdh_ig_running_spark_on_yarn.html#spark_on_yarn_config_apps)
+provides additional information. The [pySpark configuration documentation](https://spark.apache.org/docs/0.9.0/configuration.html)
+is also helpful for programmatic configuration examples.
+
+### How do I use JupyterLab's prerelease version with JupyterHub?
+
+While JupyterLab is still under active development, we have had users
+ask about how to try out JupyterLab with JupyterHub.
+
+You need to install and enable the JupyterLab extension system-wide,
+then you can change the default URL to `/lab`.
+
+For instance:
+
+    pip install jupyterlab
+    jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyterlab --sys-prefix
+
+The important thing is that jupyterlab is installed and enabled in the
+single-user notebook server environment. For system users, this means
+system-wide, as indicated above. For Docker containers, it means inside
+the single-user docker image, etc.
+
+In `jupyterhub_config.py`, configure the Spawner to tell the single-user
+notebook servers to default to JupyterLab:
+
+    c.Spawner.default_url = '/lab'
+
+### How do I set up JupyterHub for a workshop (when users are not known ahead of time)?
+
+1. Set up JupyterHub using OAuthenticator for GitHub authentication
+2. Configure whitelist to be an empty list in` jupyterhub_config.py`
+3. Configure admin list to have workshop leaders be listed with administrator privileges.
+
+Users will need a GitHub account to login and be authenticated by the Hub.
+
+### How do I set up rotating daily logs?
+
+You can do this with [logrotate](https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate),
+or pipe to `logger` to use syslog instead of directly to a file.
+
+For example, with this logrotate config file:
+
+```
+/var/log/jupyterhub.log {
+  copytruncate
+  daily
+}
+```
+
+and run this daily by putting a script in `/etc/cron.daily/`:
+
+```bash
+logrotate /path/to/above-config
+```
+
+Or use syslog:
+
+    jupyterhub | logger -t jupyterhub
+
+
+## Troubleshooting commands
+
+The following commands provide additional detail about installed packages,
+versions, and system information that may be helpful when troubleshooting
+a JupyterHub deployment. The commands are:
+
+- System and deployment information
+
+```bash
+jupyter troubleshooting
+```
+
+- Kernel information
+
+```bash
+jupyter kernelspec list
+```
+
+- Debug logs when running JupyterHub
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub --debug
+```
+
+### Toree integration with HDFS rack awareness script
+
+The Apache Toree kernel will an issue, when running with JupyterHub, if the standard HDFS
+rack awareness script is used. This will materialize in the logs as a repeated WARN:
+
+```bash
+16/11/29 16:24:20 WARN ScriptBasedMapping: Exception running /etc/hadoop/conf/topology_script.py some.ip.address
+ExitCodeException exitCode=1:   File "/etc/hadoop/conf/topology_script.py", line 63
+    print rack
+             ^
+SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
+
+    at `org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.runCommand(Shell.java:576)`
+```
+
+In order to resolve this issue, there are two potential options.
+
+1. Update HDFS core-site.xml, so the parameter "net.topology.script.file.name" points to a custom
+script (e.g. /etc/hadoop/conf/custom_topology_script.py). Copy the original script and change the first line point
+to a python two installation (e.g. /usr/bin/python).
+2. In spark-env.sh add a Python 2 installation to your path (e.g. export PATH=/opt/anaconda2/bin:$PATH).
+
+### Where do I find Docker images and Dockerfiles related to JupyterHub?
+
+Docker images can be found at the [JupyterHub organization on DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/u/jupyterhub/).
+The Docker image [jupyterhub/singleuser](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyterhub/singleuser/)
+provides an example single user notebook server for use with DockerSpawner.
+
+Additional single user notebook server images can be found at the [Jupyter
+organization on DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyter/) and information
+about each image at the [jupyter/docker-stacks repo](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks).

+
+Upgrading to JupyterHub version 0.8
+===================================
+
+This document will assist you in upgrading an existing JupyterHub deployment
+from version 0.7 to version 0.8.
+
+Upgrade checklist
+-----------------
+
+0. Review the release notes. Review any deprecated features and pay attention
+   to any backwards incompatible changes
+1. Backup JupyterHub database:
+    - ``jupyterhub.sqlite`` when using the default sqlite database
+    - Your JupyterHub database when using an RDBMS
+2. Backup the existing JupyterHub configuration file: ``jupyterhub_config.py``
+3. Shutdown the Hub
+4. Upgrade JupyterHub
+    - ``pip install -U jupyterhub`` when using ``pip``
+    - ``conda upgrade jupyterhub`` when using ``conda``
+5. Upgrade the database using run ```jupyterhub upgrade-db``
+6. Update the JupyterHub configuration file ``jupyterhub_config.py``
+
+Backup JupyterHub database
+--------------------------
+
+To prevent unintended loss of data or configuration information, you should
+back up the JupyterHub database (the default SQLite database or a RDBMS
+database using PostgreSQL, MySQL, or others supported by SQLAlchemy):
+
+- If using the default SQLite database, back up the ``jupyterhub.sqlite``
+  database.
+- If using an RDBMS database such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other supported by
+  SQLAlchemy, back up the JupyterHub database.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Losing the Hub database is often not a big deal. Information that resides only
+    in the Hub database includes:
+
+    - active login tokens (user cookies, service tokens)
+    - users added via GitHub UI, instead of config files
+    - info about running servers
+
+    If the following conditions are true, you should be fine clearing the Hub
+    database and starting over:
+
+    - users specified in config file
+    - user servers are stopped during upgrade
+    - don't mind causing users to login again after upgrade
+
+Backup JupyterHub configuration file
+------------------------------------
+
+Backup up your configuration file, ``jupyterhub_config.py``, to a secure
+location.
+
+Shutdown JupyterHub
+-------------------
+
+- Prior to shutting down JupyterHub, you should notify the Hub users of the
+  scheduled downtime.
+- Shutdown the JupyterHub service.
+
+Upgrade JupyterHub
+------------------
+
+Follow directions that correspond to your package manager, ``pip`` or ``conda``,
+for the new JupyterHub release:
+
+- ``pip install -U jupyterhub`` for ``pip``
+- ``conda upgrade jupyterhub`` for ``conda``
+
+Upgrade the proxy, authenticator, or spawner if needed.
+
+Upgrade JupyterHub database
+---------------------------
+
+To run the upgrade process for JupyterHub databases, enter::
+
+    jupyterhub upgrade-db
+
+Update the JupyterHub configuration file
+----------------------------------------
+
+Create a new JupyterHub configuration file or edit a copy of the existing
+file ``jupyterhub_config.py``.
+
+Start JupyterHub
+----------------
+
+Start JupyterHub with the same command that you used before the upgrade.

-# Writing a custom Spawner
-
-Each single-user server is started by a [Spawner][].
-The Spawner represents an abstract interface to a process,
-and a custom Spawner needs to be able to take three actions:
-
-1. start the process
-2. poll whether the process is still running
-3. stop the process
-
-See a list of custom Spawners [on the wiki](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub/wiki/Spawners).
-
-
-## Spawner.start
-
-`Spawner.start` should start the single-user server for a single user.
-Information about the user can be retrieved from `self.user`,
-an object encapsulating the user's name, authentication, and server info.
-
-When `Spawner.start` returns, it should have stored the IP and port
-of the single-user server in `self.user.server`.
-
-**NOTE:** when writing coroutines, *never* `yield` in between a db change and a commit.
-Most `Spawner.start`s should have something looking like:
-
-```python
-def start(self):
-    self.user.server.ip = 'localhost' # or other host or IP address, as seen by the Hub
-    self.user.server.port = 1234 # port selected somehow
-    self.db.commit() # always commit before yield, if modifying db values
-    yield self._actually_start_server_somehow()
-```
-
-When `Spawner.start` returns, the single-user server process should actually be running,
-not just requested. JupyterHub can handle `Spawner.start` being very slow
-(such as PBS-style batch queues, or instantiating whole AWS instances)
-via relaxing the `Spawner.start_timeout` config value.
-
-
-## Spawner.poll
-
-`Spawner.poll` should check if the spawner is still running.
-It should return `None` if it is still running,
-and an integer exit status, otherwise.
-
-For the local process case, this uses `os.kill(PID, 0)`
-to check if the process is still around.
-
-
-## Spawner.stop
-
-`Spawner.stop` should stop the process. It must be a tornado coroutine,
-and should return when the process has finished exiting.
-
-
-## Spawner state
-
-JupyterHub should be able to stop and restart without having to teardown
-single-user servers. This means that a Spawner may need to persist
-some information that it can be restored.
-A dictionary of JSON-able state can be used to store this information.
-
-Unlike start/stop/poll, the state methods must not be coroutines.
-
-In the single-process case, this is only the process ID of the server:
-
-```python
-def get_state(self):
-    """get the current state"""
-    state = super().get_state()
-    if self.pid:
-        state['pid'] = self.pid
-    return state
-
-def load_state(self, state):
-    """load state from the database"""
-    super().load_state(state)
-    if 'pid' in state:
-        self.pid = state['pid']
-
-def clear_state(self):
-    """clear any state (called after shutdown)"""
-    super().clear_state()
-    self.pid = 0
-```

+# Bootstrapping your users
+
+Before spawning a notebook to the user, it could be useful to 
+do some preparation work in a bootstrapping process.
+
+Common use cases are:
+
+*Providing writeable storage for LDAP users*
+
+Your Jupyterhub is configured to use the LDAPAuthenticator and DockerSpawer.
+
+* The user has no file directory on the host since your are using LDAP.
+* When a user has no directory and DockerSpawner wants to mount a volume,
+the spawner will use docker to create a directory.
+Since the docker daemon is running as root, the generated directory for the volume 
+mount will not be writeable by the `jovyan` user inside of the container. 
+For the directory to be useful to the user, the permissions on the directory 
+need to be modified for the user to have write access.
+
+*Prepopulating Content*
+
+Another use would be to copy initial content, such as tutorial files or reference
+ material, into the user's space when a notebook server is newly spawned.
+
+You can define your own bootstrap process by implementing a `pre_spawn_hook` on any spawner.
+The Spawner itself is passed as parameter to your hook and you can easily get the contextual information out of the spawning process. 
+
+If you implement a hook, make sure that it is *idempotent*. It will be executed every time 
+a notebook server is spawned to the user. That means you should somehow 
+ensure that things which should run only once are not running again and again.
+For example, before you create a directory, check if it exists.
+
+Bootstrapping examples:
+
+### Example #1 - Create a user directory
+
+Create a directory for the user, if none exists
+
+```python
+
+# in jupyterhub_config.py  
+import os
+def create_dir_hook(spawner):
+    username = spawner.user.name # get the username
+    volume_path = os.path.join('/volumes/jupyterhub', username)
+    if not os.path.exists(volume_path):
+        # create a directory with umask 0755 
+        # hub and container user must have the same UID to be writeable
+        # still readable by other users on the system
+        os.mkdir(volume_path, 0o755)
+        # now do whatever you think your user needs
+        # ...
+        pass
+
+# attach the hook function to the spawner
+c.Spawner.pre_spawn_hook = create_dir_hook
+```
+
+### Example #2 - Run a shell script 
+
+You can specify a plain ole' shell script (or any other executable) to be run 
+by the bootstrap process.
+
+For example, you can execute a shell script and as first parameter pass the name 
+of the user:
+
+```python
+
+# in jupyterhub_config.py    
+from subprocess import check_call
+import os
+def my_script_hook(spawner):
+    username = spawner.user.name # get the username
+    script = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'bootstrap.sh')
+    check_call([script, username])
+
+# attach the hook function to the spawner
+c.Spawner.pre_spawn_hook = my_script_hook
+
+```
+
+Here's an example on what you could do in your shell script. See also 
+`/examples/bootstrap-script/`

+# Running a shared notebook as a service
+
+This directory contains two examples of running a shared notebook server as a service,
+one as a 'managed' service, and one as an external service with supervisor.
+
+These examples require jupyterhub >= 0.7.2.
+
+A single-user notebook server is run as a service,
+and uses groups to authenticate a collection of users with the Hub.
+
+In these examples, a JupyterHub group `'shared'` is created,
+and a notebook server is spawned at `/services/shared-notebook`.
+Any user in the `'shared'` group will be able to access the notebook server at `/services/shared-notebook/`.
+
+In both examples, you will want to select the name of the group,
+and the name of the shared-notebook service.
+
+In the external example, some extra steps are required to set up supervisor:
+
+1. select a system user to run the service. This is  a user on the system, and does not need to be a Hub user. Add this to the user field in `shared-notebook.conf`, replacing `someuser`.
+2. generate a secret token for authentication, and replace the `super-secret` fields in `shared-notebook-service` and `jupyterhub_config.py`
+3. install `shared-notebook-service` somewhere on your system, and update `/path/to/shared-notebook-service` to the absolute path of this destination
+3. copy `shared-notebook.conf` to `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/`
+4. `supervisorctl reload`

+1. Launch JupyterHub and the `whoami service` with
+

+
+2. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/services/whoami or http://127.0.0.1:8000/services/whoami-oauth

+```
+
+This relies on the Hub starting the whoami service, via config (see [jupyterhub_config.py](./jupyterhub_config.py)).

+
+1. Launch JupyterHub and the `whoami service` with
