-Welcome! As a [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org) project, we follow the [Jupyter contributor guide](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributor/content-contributor.html).
+Welcome! As a [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org) project,
+you can follow the [Jupyter contributor guide](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/content-contributor.html).
+

+
+## Setting up a development environment
+
+<!--
+https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contributing/setup.html
+contains a lot of the same information. Should we merge the docs and
+just have this page link to that one?
+-->
+
+JupyterHub requires Python >= 3.5 and nodejs.
+
+As a Python project, a development install of JupyterHub follows standard practices for the basics (steps 1-2).
 
 
-## Set up your development system
+1. clone the repo
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub
+    ```
+2. do a development install with pip
 
-For a development install, clone the [repository](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub)
+    ```bash
-and then install from source:
+    cd jupyterhub
+    python3 -m pip install --editable .
+    ```
+3. install the development requirements,
+   which include things like testing tools
+
+    ```bash
+    python3 -m pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
+    ```
+4. install configurable-http-proxy with npm:
+
+    ```bash
+    npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
+    ```
+5. set up pre-commit hooks for automatic code formatting, etc.
+
+    ```bash
+    pre-commit install
+    ```
+
+    You can also invoke the pre-commit hook manually at any time with
+
+    ```bash
+    pre-commit run
+    ```
+
+## Contributing
+
+JupyterHub has adopted automatic code formatting so you shouldn't
+need to worry too much about your code style.
+As long as your code is valid,
+the pre-commit hook should take care of how it should look.
+You can invoke the pre-commit hook by hand at any time with:
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub
+pre-commit run
-cd jupyterhub
-npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
-pip3 install -r dev-requirements.txt -e .
 ```
 
-### Troubleshooting a development install
+which should run any autoformatting on your code
+and tell you about any errors it couldn't fix automatically.
+You may also install [black integration](https://github.com/psf/black#editor-integration)
+into your text editor to format code automatically.
 
-If the `pip3 install` command fails and complains about `lessc` being
+If you have already committed files before setting up the pre-commit
-unavailable, you may need to explicitly install some additional JavaScript
+hook with `pre-commit install`, you can fix everything up using
-dependencies:
+`pre-commit run --all-files`.  You need to make the fixing commit
+yourself after that.
 
-    npm install
+## Testing
 
-This will fetch client-side JavaScript dependencies necessary to compile CSS.
+It's a good idea to write tests to exercise any new features,
+or that trigger any bugs that you have fixed to catch regressions.
 
-You may also need to manually update JavaScript and CSS after some development
+You can run the tests with:
-updates, with:
 
 ```bash
-python3 setup.py js    # fetch updated client-side js
+pytest -v
-python3 setup.py css   # recompile CSS from LESS sources
 ```
 
-## Running the test suite
+in the repo directory. If you want to just run certain tests,
-
+check out the [pytest docs](https://pytest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html)
-We use [pytest](http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/) for running tests. 
+for how pytest can be called.
-
+For instance, to test only spawner-related things in the REST API:
-1. Set up a development install as described above. 
-
-2. Set environment variable for `ASYNC_TEST_TIMEOUT` to 15 seconds:
 
 ```bash
-export ASYNC_TEST_TIMEOUT=15
+pytest -v -k spawn jupyterhub/tests/test_api.py
 ```
 
-3. Run tests.
+The tests live in `jupyterhub/tests` and are organized roughly into:
 
-To run all the tests:
+1. `test_api.py` tests the REST API
+2. `test_pages.py` tests loading the HTML pages
 
-```bash
+and other collections of tests for different components.
-pytest -v jupyterhub/tests
+When writing a new test, there should usually be a test of
-```
+similar functionality already written and related tests should
+be added nearby.
 
-To run an individual test file (i.e. `test_api.py`):
+The fixtures live in `jupyterhub/tests/conftest.py`. There are
+fixtures that can be used for JupyterHub components, such as:
 
-```bash
+- `app`: an instance of JupyterHub with mocked parts
-pytest -v jupyterhub/tests/test_api.py
+- `auth_state_enabled`: enables persisting auth_state (like authentication tokens)
-```
+- `db`: a sqlite in-memory DB session
+- `io_loop`: a Tornado event loop
+- `event_loop`: a new asyncio event loop
+- `user`: creates a new temporary user

+## Demo Dockerfile
+
+This is a demo JupyterHub Docker image to help you get a quick overview of what
+JupyterHub is and how it works.
+
+It uses the SimpleLocalProcessSpawner to spawn new user servers and
+DummyAuthenticator for authentication.
+The DummyAuthenticator allows you to log in with any username & password and the
+SimpleLocalProcessSpawner allows starting servers without having to create a
+local user for each JupyterHub user.
+
+### Important!
+
+This should only be used for demo or testing purposes!
+It shouldn't be used as a base image to build on.
+
+### Try it
+1. `cd` to the root of your jupyterhub repo.
+
+2. Build the demo image with `docker build -t jupyterhub-demo demo-image`. 
+
+3. Run the demo image with `docker run -d -p 8000:8000 jupyterhub-demo`.
+
+4. Visit http://localhost:8000 and login with any username and password
+5. Happy demo-ing :tada:!

+
+====================
+Upgrading JupyterHub
+====================
+
+JupyterHub offers easy upgrade pathways between minor versions. This
+document describes how to do these upgrades.
+
+If you are using :ref:`a JupyterHub distribution <index/distributions>`, you
+should consult the distribution's documentation on how to upgrade. This
+document is if you have set up your own JupyterHub without using a
+distribution.
+
+It is long because is pretty detailed! Most likely, upgrading
+JupyterHub is painless, quick and with minimal user interruption.
+
+Read the Changelog
+==================
+
+The `changelog <../changelog.html>`_ contains information on what has
+changed with the new JupyterHub release, and any deprecation warnings.
+Read these notes to familiarize yourself with the coming changes. There
+might be new releases of authenticators & spawners you are using, so
+read the changelogs for those too!
+
+Notify your users
+=================
+
+If you are using the default configuration where ``configurable-http-proxy``
+is managed by JupyterHub, your users will see service disruption during
+the upgrade process. You should notify them, and pick a time to do the
+upgrade where they will be least disrupted.
+
+If you are using a different proxy, or running ``configurable-http-proxy``
+independent of JupyterHub, your users will be able to continue using notebook
+servers they had already launched, but will not be able to launch new servers
+nor sign in.
+
+
+Backup database & config
+========================
+
+Before doing an upgrade, it is critical to back up:
+
+#. Your JupyterHub database (sqlite by default, or MySQL / Postgres
+   if you used those). If you are using sqlite (the default), you
+   should backup the ``jupyterhub.sqlite`` file.
+#. Your ``jupyterhub_config.py`` file.
+#. Your user's home directories. This is unlikely to be affected directly by
+   a JupyterHub upgrade, but we recommend a backup since user data is very
+   critical.
+
+
+Shutdown JupyterHub
+===================
+
+Shutdown the JupyterHub process. This would vary depending on how you
+have set up JupyterHub to run. Most likely, it is using a process
+supervisor of some sort (``systemd`` or ``supervisord`` or even ``docker``).
+Use the supervisor specific command to stop the JupyterHub process.
+
+Upgrade JupyterHub packages
+===========================
+
+There are two environments where the ``jupyterhub`` package is installed:
+
+#. The *hub environment*, which is where the JupyterHub server process
+   runs. This is started with the ``jupyterhub`` command, and is what
+   people generally think of as JupyterHub.
+
+#. The *notebook user environments*. This is where the user notebook
+   servers are launched from, and is probably custom to your own
+   installation. This could be just one environment (different from the
+   hub environment) that is shared by all users, one environment
+   per user, or same environment as the hub environment. The hub
+   launched the ``jupyterhub-singleuser`` command in this environment,
+   which in turn starts the notebook server.
+
+You need to make sure the version of the ``jupyterhub`` package matches
+in both these environments. If you installed ``jupyterhub`` with pip,
+you can upgrade it with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   python3 -m pip install --upgrade jupyterhub==<version>
+
+Where ``<version>`` is the version of JupyterHub you are upgrading to.
+
+If you used ``conda`` to install ``jupyterhub``, you should upgrade it
+with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   conda install -c conda-forge jupyterhub==<version>
+
+Where ``<version>`` is the version of JupyterHub you are upgrading to.
+
+You should also check for new releases of the authenticator & spawner you
+are using. You might wish to upgrade those packages too along with JupyterHub,
+or upgrade them separately.
+
+Upgrade JupyterHub database
+===========================
+
+Once new packages are installed, you need to upgrade the JupyterHub
+database. From the hub environment, in the same directory as your
+``jupyterhub_config.py`` file, you should run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   jupyterhub upgrade-db
+
+This should find the location of your database, and run necessary upgrades
+for it.
+
+SQLite database disadvantages
+-----------------------------
+
+SQLite has some disadvantages when it comes to upgrading JupyterHub. These
+are:
+
+-  ``upgrade-db`` may not work, and you may need delete your database
+   and start with a fresh one.
+-  ``downgrade-db`` **will not** work if you want to rollback to an
+   earlier version, so backup the ``jupyterhub.sqlite`` file before
+   upgrading
+
+What happens if I delete my 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 JupyterHub 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, or login using an external
+   authentication provider (Google, GitHub, LDAP, etc)
+-  user servers are stopped during upgrade
+-  don't mind causing users to login again after upgrade
+
+Start JupyterHub
+================
+
+Once the database upgrade is completed, start the ``jupyterhub``
+process again.
+
+#. Log-in and start the server to make sure things work as
+   expected.
+#. Check the logs for any errors or deprecation warnings. You
+   might have to update your ``jupyterhub_config.py`` file to
+   deal with any deprecated options.
+
+Congratulations, your JupyterHub has been upgraded!

+================================
+
+We use `Discourse <https://discourse.jupyter.org>` for online discussion.
+Everyone in the Jupyter community is welcome to bring ideas and questions there.
+In addition, we use `Gitter <https://gitter.im>`_ for online, real-time text chat,

+The primary Gitter channel for JupyterHub is `jupyterhub/jupyterhub <https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/jupyterhub>`_.

+to make sure that discussions are most useful and accessible to the community.
+Remember that our community is distributed across the world in various

+
+GitHub issues are used for most long-form project discussions, bug reports
+and feature requests. Issues related to a specific authenticator or

+or `The Littlest JupyterHub <http://github.com/jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub/>`_),

+Contributing Documentation
+==========================
+
+Documentation is often more important than code. This page helps
+you get set up on how to contribute documentation to JupyterHub.
+
+Building documentation locally
+==============================
+
+We use `sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org>`_ to build our documentation. It takes
+our documentation source files (written in `markdown
+<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>`_ or `reStructuredText
+<http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html>`_ &
+stored under the ``docs/source`` directory) and converts it into various
+formats for people to read. To make sure the documentation you write or
+change renders correctly, it is good practice to test it locally.
+
+#. Make sure you have successfuly completed :ref:`contributing/setup`.
+
+#. Install the packages required to build the docs.
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      python3 -m pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
+
+#. Build the html version of the docs. This is the most commonly used
+   output format, so verifying it renders as you should is usually good
+   enough.
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      cd docs
+      make html
+
+   This step will display any syntax or formatting errors in the documentation,
+   along with the filename / line number in which they occurred. Fix them,
+   and re-run the ``make html`` command to re-render the documentation.
+
+#. View the rendered documentation by opening ``build/html/index.html`` in 
+   a web browser. 
+
+   .. tip::
+
+      On macOS, you can open a file from the terminal with ``open <path-to-file>``.

+living document that grows over time, so feel free to add to it / change it!
+
+Our entire documentation does not yet fully conform to these conventions yet,

+
+``pip`` invocation
+------------------
+
+There are many ways to invoke a ``pip`` command, we recommend the following
+approach:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   python3 -m pip
+
+This invokes pip explicitly using the python3 binary that you are
+currently using. This is the **recommended way** to invoke pip
+in our documentation, since it is least likely to cause problems
+with python3 and pip being from different environments.
+
+For more information on how to invoke ``pip`` commands, see
+`the pip documentation <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_.

+# The JupyterHub roadmap
+
+This roadmap collects "next steps" for JupyterHub. It is about creating a
+shared understanding of the project's vision and direction amongst
+the community of users, contributors, and maintainers.
+The goal is to communicate priorities and upcoming release plans.
+It is not a aimed at limiting contributions to what is listed here.
+
+
+## Using the roadmap
+### Sharing Feedback on the Roadmap
+
+All of the community is encouraged to provide feedback as well as share new
+ideas with the community. Please do so by submitting an issue. If you want to
+have an informal conversation first use one of the other communication channels.
+After submitting the issue, others from the community will probably
+respond with questions or comments they have to clarify the issue. The
+maintainers will help identify what a good next step is for the issue.
+
+### What do we mean by "next step"?
+
+When submitting an issue, think about what "next step" category best describes
+your issue:
+
+* **now**, concrete/actionable step that is ready for someone to start work on.
+These might be items that have a link to an issue or more abstract like
+"decrease typos and dead links in the documentation"
+* **soon**, less concrete/actionable step that is going to happen soon,
+discussions around the topic are coming close to an end at which point it can
+move into the "now" category
+* **later**, abstract ideas or tasks, need a lot of discussion or
+experimentation to shape the idea so that it can be executed. Can also
+contain concrete/actionable steps that have been postponed on purpose
+(these are steps that could be in "now" but the decision was taken to work on
+them later)
+
+### Reviewing and Updating the Roadmap
+
+The roadmap will get updated as time passes (next review by 1st December) based
+on discussions and ideas captured as issues.
+This means this list should not be exhaustive, it should only represent
+the "top of the stack" of ideas. It should
+not function as a wish list, collection of feature requests or todo list.
+For those please create a
+[new issue](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/issues/new).
+
+The roadmap should give the reader an idea of what is happening next, what needs
+input and discussion before it can happen and what has been postponed.
+
+
+## The roadmap proper
+### Project vision
+
+JupyterHub is a dependable tool used by humans that reduces the complexity of
+creating the environment in which a piece of software can be executed.
+
+### Now
+
+These "Now" items are considered active areas of focus for the project:
+
+* HubShare - a sharing service for use with JupyterHub.
+    * Users should be able to:
+        - Push a project to other users.
+        - Get a checkout of a project from other users.
+        - Push updates to a published project.
+        - Pull updates from a published project.
+        - Manage conflicts/merges by simply picking a version (our/theirs)
+        - Get a checkout of a project from the internet. These steps are completely different from saving notebooks/files.
+        - Have directories that are managed by git completely separately from our stuff.
+        - Look at pushed content that they have access to without an explicit pull.
+        - Define and manage teams of users.
+            - Adding/removing a user to/from a team gives/removes them access to all projects that team has access to.
+        - Build other services, such as static HTML publishing and dashboarding on top of these things.
+
+
+### Soon
+
+These "Soon" items are under discussion. Once an item reaches the point of an
+actionable plan, the item will be moved to the "Now" section. Typically,
+these will be moved at a future review of the roadmap.
+
+* resource monitoring and management:
+    - (prometheus?) API for resource monitoring
+    - tracking activity on single-user servers instead of the proxy
+    - notes and activity tracking per API token
+
+
+### Later
+
+The "Later" items are things that are at the back of the project's mind. At this
+time there is no active plan for an item. The project would like to find the
+resources and time to discuss these ideas.
+
+- real-time collaboration
+    - Enter into real-time collaboration mode for a project that starts a shared execution context.
+    - Once the single-user notebook package supports realtime collaboration,
+      implement sharing mechanism integrated into the Hub.

+.. _contributing/setup:
+
+================================
+Setting up a development install
+================================
+
+System requirements
+===================
+
+JupyterHub can only run on MacOS or Linux operating systems. If you are
+using Windows, we recommend using `VirtualBox <https://virtualbox.org>`_
+or a similar system to run `Ubuntu Linux <https://ubuntu.com>`_ for
+development.
+
+Install Python
+--------------
+
+JupyterHub is written in the `Python <https://python.org>`_ programming language, and
+requires you have at least version 3.5 installed locally. If you haven’t
+installed Python before, the recommended way to install it is to use
+`miniconda <https://conda.io/miniconda.html>`_. Remember to get the ‘Python 3’ version,
+and **not** the ‘Python 2’ version!
+
+Install nodejs
+--------------
+
+``configurable-http-proxy``, the default proxy implementation for
+JupyterHub, is written in Javascript to run on `NodeJS
+<https://nodejs.org/en/>`_. If you have not installed nodejs before, we
+recommend installing it in the ``miniconda`` environment you set up for
+Python. You can do so with ``conda install nodejs``.
+
+Install git
+-----------
+
+JupyterHub uses `git <https://git-scm.com>`_ & `GitHub <https://github.com>`_
+for development & collaboration. You need to `install git
+<https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git>`_ to work on
+JupyterHub. We also recommend getting a free account on GitHub.com.
+
+Setting up a development install
+================================
+
+When developing JupyterHub, you need to make changes to the code & see
+their effects quickly. You need to do a developer install to make that
+happen.
+
+.. note:: This guide does not attempt to dictate *how* development
+   environements should be isolated since that is a personal preference and can
+   be achieved in many ways, for example `tox`, `conda`, `docker`, etc. See this
+   `forum thread <https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/thoughts-on-using-tox/3497>`_ for
+   a more detailed discussion.
+
+1. Clone the `JupyterHub git repository <https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub>`_
+   to your computer.
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      git clone https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub
+      cd jupyterhub
+
+2. Make sure the ``python`` you installed and the ``npm`` you installed
+   are available to you on the command line.
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      python -V
+
+   This should return a version number greater than or equal to 3.5.
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      npm -v
+
+   This should return a version number greater than or equal to 5.0.
+
+3. Install ``configurable-http-proxy``. This is required to run
+   JupyterHub.
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
+
+   If you get an error that says ``Error: EACCES: permission denied``,
+   you might need to prefix the command with ``sudo``. If you do not
+   have access to sudo, you may instead run the following commands:
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      npm install configurable-http-proxy
+      export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/node_modules/.bin
+
+   The second line needs to be run every time you open a new terminal.
+
+4. Install the python packages required for JupyterHub development.
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      python3 -m pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
+      python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+5. Setup a database.
+
+   The default database engine is ``sqlite`` so if you are just trying
+   to get up and running quickly for local development that should be
+   available via `python <https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/sqlite3.html>`__.
+   See :doc:`/reference/database` for details on other supported databases.
+
+6. Install the development version of JupyterHub. This lets you edit
+   JupyterHub code in a text editor & restart the JupyterHub process to
+   see your code changes immediately.
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      python3 -m pip install --editable .
+
+7. You are now ready to start JupyterHub!
+
+   .. code:: bash
+
+      jupyterhub
+
+8. You can access JupyterHub from your browser at
+   ``http://localhost:8000`` now.
+
+Happy developing!
+
+Using DummyAuthenticator & SimpleLocalProcessSpawner
+====================================================
+
+To simplify testing of JupyterHub, it’s helpful to use
+:class:`~jupyterhub.auth.DummyAuthenticator` instead of the default JupyterHub
+authenticator and SimpleLocalProcessSpawner instead of the default spawner.
+
+There is a sample configuration file that does this in
+``testing/jupyterhub_config.py``. To launch jupyterhub with this
+configuration:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+   jupyterhub -f testing/jupyterhub_config.py
+
+The default JupyterHub `authenticator
+<https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/authenticators.html#the-default-pam-authenticator>`_
+& `spawner
+<https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/spawner.html#localprocessspawner>`_
+require your system to have user accounts for each user you want to log in to
+JupyterHub as.
+
+DummyAuthenticator allows you to log in with any username & password,
+while SimpleLocalProcessSpawner allows you to start servers without having to
+create a unix user for each JupyterHub user. Together, these make it
+much easier to test JupyterHub.
+
+Tip: If you are working on parts of JupyterHub that are common to all
+authenticators & spawners, we recommend using both DummyAuthenticator &
+SimpleLocalProcessSpawner. If you are working on just authenticator related
+parts, use only SimpleLocalProcessSpawner. Similarly, if you are working on
+just spawner related parts, use only DummyAuthenticator.
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+This section lists common ways setting up your development environment may
+fail, and how to fix them. Please add to the list if you encounter yet
+another way it can fail!
+
+``lessc`` not found
+-------------------
+
+If the ``python3 -m pip install --editable .`` command fails and complains about
+``lessc`` being unavailable, you may need to explicitly install some
+additional JavaScript dependencies:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+   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:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+   python3 setup.py js    # fetch updated client-side js
+   python3 setup.py css   # recompile CSS from LESS sources

+==================
+Testing JupyterHub
+==================
+
+Unit test help validate that JupyterHub works the way we think it does,
+and continues to do so when changes occur. They also help communicate
+precisely what we expect our code to do. 
+
+JupyterHub uses `pytest <https://pytest.org>`_ for all our tests. You
+can find them under ``jupyterhub/tests`` directory in the git repository.
+
+Running the tests
+==================
+
+#. Make sure you have completed :ref:`contributing/setup`. You should be able
+   to start ``jupyterhub`` from the commandline & access it from your
+   web browser. This ensures that the dev environment is properly set
+   up for tests to run.
+
+#. You can run all tests in JupyterHub 
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      pytest -v jupyterhub/tests
+
+   This should display progress as it runs all the tests, printing
+   information about any test failures as they occur.
+   
+   If you wish to confirm test coverage the run tests with the `--cov` flag:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      pytest -v --cov=jupyterhub jupyterhub/tests
+
+#. You can also run tests in just a specific file:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      pytest -v jupyterhub/tests/<test-file-name>
+
+#. To run a specific test only, you can do:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      pytest -v jupyterhub/tests/<test-file-name>::<test-name>
+
+   This runs the test with function name ``<test-name>`` defined in
+   ``<test-file-name>``. This is very useful when you are iteratively
+   developing a single test.
+
+   For example, to run the test ``test_shutdown`` in the file ``test_api.py``,
+   you would run:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+      
+      pytest -v jupyterhub/tests/test_api.py::test_shutdown

+Eventlogging and Telemetry
+==========================

+JupyterHub can be configured to record structured events from a running server using Jupyter's `Telemetry System`_. The types of events that JupyterHub emits are defined by `JSON schemas`_ listed below_
+
+ emitted as JSON data, defined and validated by the JSON schemas listed below.
+
+
+.. _logging: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html
+.. _`Telemetry System`: https://github.com/jupyter/telemetry
+.. _`JSON schemas`: https://json-schema.org/
+
+How to emit events
+------------------
+
+Event logging is handled by its ``Eventlog`` object. This leverages Python's standing logging_ library to emit, filter, and collect event data. 
+
+
+To begin recording events, you'll need to set two configurations:
+
+    1. ``handlers``: tells the EventLog *where* to route your events. This trait is a list of Python logging handlers that route events to 
+    2. ``allows_schemas``: tells the EventLog *which* events should be recorded. No events are emitted by default; all recorded events must be listed here.
+
+Here's a basic example:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    import logging
+
+    c.EventLog.handlers = [
+        logging.FileHandler('event.log'),
+    ]
+
+    c.EventLog.allowed_schemas = [
+        'hub.jupyter.org/server-action'

+# Frequently asked questions
+
+
+### How do I share links to notebooks?
+
+In short, where you see `/user/name/notebooks/foo.ipynb` use `/hub/user-redirect/notebooks/foo.ipynb` (replace `/user/name` with `/hub/user-redirect`).
+
+Sharing links to notebooks is a common activity,
+and can look different based on what you mean.
+Your first instinct might be to copy the URL you see in the browser,
+e.g. `hub.jupyter.org/user/yourname/notebooks/coolthing.ipynb`.
+However, let's break down what this URL means:
+
+`hub.jupyter.org/user/yourname/` is the URL prefix handled by *your server*,
+which means that sharing this URL is asking the person you share the link with
+to come to *your server* and look at the exact same file.
+In most circumstances, this is forbidden by permissions because the person you share with does not have access to your server.
+What actually happens when someone visits this URL will depend on whether your server is running and other factors.
+
+But what is our actual goal?
+A typical situation is that you have some shared or common filesystem,
+such that the same path corresponds to the same document
+(either the exact same document or another copy of it).
+Typically, what folks want when they do sharing like this
+is for each visitor to open the same file *on their own server*,
+so Breq would open `/user/breq/notebooks/foo.ipynb` and
+Seivarden would open `/user/seivarden/notebooks/foo.ipynb`, etc.
+
+JupyterHub has a special URL that does exactly this!
+It's called `/hub/user-redirect/...` and after the visitor logs in,
+So if you replace `/user/yourname` in your URL bar
+with `/hub/user-redirect` any visitor should get the same
+URL on their own server, rather than visiting yours.
+
+In JupyterLab 2.0, this should also be the result of the "Copy Shareable Link"
+action in the file browser.

+# Institutional FAQ
+
+This page contains common questions from users of JupyterHub,
+broken down by their roles within organizations.
+
+## For all
+
+### Is it appropriate for adoption within a larger institutional context?
+
+Yes! JupyterHub has been used at-scale for large pools of users, as well
+as complex and high-performance computing. For example, UC Berkeley uses
+JupyterHub for its Data Science Education Program courses (serving over
+3,000 students). The Pangeo project uses JupyterHub to provide access
+to scalable cloud computing with Dask. JupyterHub is stable customizable
+to the use-cases of large organizations.
+
+### I keep hearing about Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, and now JupyterHub. What’s the difference?
+
+Here is a quick breakdown of these three tools:
+
+* **The Jupyter Notebook** is a document specification (the `.ipynb`) file that interweaves
+  narrative text with code cells and their outputs. It is also a graphical interface
+  that allows users to edit these documents. There are also several other graphical interfaces
+  that allow users to edit the `.ipynb` format (nteract, Jupyter Lab, Google Colab, Kaggle, etc).
+* **JupyterLab** is a flexible and extendible user interface for interactive computing. It
+  has several extensions that are tailored for using Jupyter Notebooks, as well as extensions
+  for other parts of the data science stack.
+* **JupyterHub** is an application that manages interactive computing sessions for **multiple users**.
+  It also connects them with infrastructure those users wish to access. It can provide
+  remote access to Jupyter Notebooks and Jupyter Lab for many people.
+
+## For management
+
+### Briefly, what problem does JupyterHub solve for us?
+
+JupyterHub provides a shared platform for data science and collaboration.
+It allows users to utilize familiar data science workflows (such as the scientific python stack,
+the R tidyverse, and Jupyter Notebooks) on institutional infrastructure. It also allows administrators
+some control over access to resources, security, environments, and authentication.
+
+### Is JupyterHub mature? Why should we trust it?
+
+Yes - the core JupyterHub application recently
+reached 1.0 status, and is considered stable and performant for most institutions.
+JupyterHub has also been deployed (along with other tools) to work on
+scalable infrastructure, large datasets, and high-performance computing.
+
+### Who else uses JupyterHub?
+
+JupyterHub is used at a variety of institutions in academia,
+industry, and government research labs. It is most-commonly used by two kinds of groups:
+
+* Small teams (e.g., data science teams, research labs, or collaborative projects) to provide a
+  shared resource for interactive computing, collaboration, and analytics.
+* Large teams (e.g., a department, a large class, or a large group of remote users) to provide
+  access to organizational hardware, data, and analytics environments at scale.
+
+Here are a sample of organizations that use JupyterHub:
+
+* **Universities and colleges**: UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Cal Poly SLO, Harvard University, University of Chicago,
+  University of Oslo, University of Sheffield, Université Paris Sud, University of Versailles
+* **Research laboratories**: NASA, NCAR, NOAA, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, Brookhaven National Lab,
+  Minnesota Supercomputing Institute, ALCF, CERN, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
+* **Online communities**: Pangeo, Quantopian, mybinder.org, MathHub, Open Humans
+* **Computing infrastructure providers**: NERSC, San Diego Supercomputing Center, Compute Canada
+* **Companies**: Capital One, SANDVIK code, Globus
+
+See the [Gallery of JupyterHub deployments](../gallery-jhub-deployments.md) for
+a more complete list of JupyterHub deployments at institutions.
+
+### How does JupyterHub compare with hosted products, like Google Colaboratory, RStudio.cloud, or Anaconda Enterprise?
+
+JupyterHub puts you in control of your data, infrastructure, and coding environment.
+In addition, it is vendor neutral, which reduces lock-in to a particular vendor or service.
+JupyterHub provides access to interactive computing environments in the cloud (similar to each of these services).
+Compared with the tools above, it is more flexible, more customizable, free, and
+gives administrators more control over their setup and hardware.
+
+Because JupyterHub is an open-source, community-driven tool, it can be extended and
+modified to fit an institution's needs. It plays nicely with the open source data science
+stack, and can serve a variety of computing enviroments, user interfaces, and
+computational hardware. It can also be deployed anywhere - on enterprise cloud infrastructure, on
+High-Performance-Computing machines, on local hardware, or even on a single laptop, which
+is not possible with most other tools for shared interactive computing.
+
+## For IT
+
+### How would I set up JupyterHub on institutional hardware?
+
+That depends on what kind of hardware you've got. JupyterHub is flexible enough to be deployed
+on a variety of hardware, including in-room hardware, on-prem clusters, cloud infrastructure,
+etc.
+
+The most common way to set up a JupyterHub is to use a JupyterHub distribution, these are pre-configured
+and opinionated ways to set up a JupyterHub on particular kinds of infrastructure. The two distributions
+that we currently suggest are:
+
+* [Zero to JupyterHub for Kubernetes](https://z2jh.jupyter.org) is a scalable JupyterHub deployment and
+  guide that runs on Kubernetes. Better for larger or dynamic user groups (50-10,000) or more complex
+  compute/data needs.
+* [The Littlest JupyterHub](https://tljh.jupyter.org) is a lightweight JupyterHub that runs on a single
+  single machine (in the cloud or under your desk). Better for smaller usergroups (4-80) or more
+  lightweight computational resources.
+
+
+### Does JupyterHub run well in the cloud?
+
+Yes - most deployments of JupyterHub are run via cloud infrastructure and on a variety of cloud providers.
+Depending on the distribution of JupyterHub that you'd like to use, you can also connect your JupyterHub
+deployment with a number of other cloud-native services so that users have access to other resources from
+their interactive computing sessions.
+
+For example, if you use the [Zero to JupyterHub for Kubernetes](https://z2jh.jupyter.org) distribution,
+you'll be able to utilize container-based workflows of other technologies such as the [dask-kubernetes](https://kubernetes.dask.org/en/latest/)
+project for distributed computing.
+
+The Z2JH Helm Chart also has some functionality built in for auto-scaling your cluster up and down
+as more resources are needed - allowing you to utilize the benefits of a flexible cloud-based deployment.
+
+### Is JupyterHub secure?
+
+The short answer: yes. JupyterHub as a standalone application has been battle-tested at an institutional
+level for several years, and makes a number of "default" security decisions that are reasonable for most
+users.
+
+* For security considerations in the base JupyterHub application,
+  [see the JupyterHub security page](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/websecurity.html)
+* For security considerations when deploying JupyterHub on Kubernetes, see the
+  [JupyterHub on Kubernetes security page](https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security.html).
+
+The longer answer: it depends on your deployment. Because JupyterHub is very flexible, it can be used
+in a variety of deployment setups. This often entails connecting your JupyterHub to **other** infrastructure
+(such as a [Dask Gateway service](https://gateway.dask.org/)). There are many security decisions to be made
+in these cases, and the security of your JupyterHub deployment will often depend on these decisions.
+
+If you are worried about security, don't hesitate to reach out to the JupyterHub community in the
+[Jupyter Community Forum](https://discourse.jupyter.org/c/jupyterhub). This community of practice has many
+individuals with experience running secure JupyterHub deployments.
+
+
+### Does JupyterHub provide computing or data infrastructure?
+
+No - JupyterHub manages user sessions and can *control* computing infrastructure, but it does not provide these
+things itself. You are expected to run JupyterHub on your own infrastructure (local or in the cloud). Moreover,
+JupyterHub has no internal concept of "data", but is designed to be able to communicate with data repositories
+(again, either locally or remotely) for use within interactive computing sessions.
+
+
+### How do I manage users?
+
+JupyterHub offers a few options for managing your users. Upon setting up a JupyterHub, you can choose what
+kind of **authentication** you'd like to use. For example, you can have users sign up with an institutional
+email address, or choose a username / password when they first log-in, or offload authentication onto
+another service such as an organization's OAuth.
+
+The users of a JupyterHub are stored locally, and can be modified manually by an administrator of the JupyterHub.
+Moreover, the *active* users on a JupyterHub can be found on the administrator's page. This page
+gives you the abiltiy to stop or restart kernels, inspect user filesystems, and even take over user
+sessions to assist them with debugging.
+
+### How do I manage software environments?
+
+A key benefit of JupyterHub is the ability for an administrator to define the environment(s) that users
+have access to. There are many ways to do this, depending on what kind of infrastructure you're using for
+your JupyterHub.
+
+For example, **The Littlest JupyterHub** runs on a single VM. In this case, the administrator defines
+an environment by installing packages to a shared folder that exists on the path of all users. The
+**JupyterHub for Kubernetes** deployment uses Docker images to define environments. You can create your
+own list of Docker images that users can select from, and can also control things like the amount of
+RAM available to users, or the types of machines that their sessions will use in the cloud.
+
+### How does JupyterHub manage computational resources?
+
+For interactive computing sessions, JupyterHub controls computational resources via a **spawner**.
+Spawners define how a new user session is created, and are customized for particular kinds of
+infrastructure. For example, the KubeSpawner knows how to control a Kubernetes deployment
+to create new pods when users log in.
+
+For more sophisticated computational resources (like distributed computing), JupyterHub can
+connect with other infrastructure tools (like Dask or Spark). This allows users to control
+scalable or high-performance resources from within their JupyterHub sessions. The logic of
+how those resources are controlled is taken care of by the non-JupyterHub application.
+
+
+### Can JupyterHub be used with my high-performance computing resources?
+
+Yes - JupyterHub can provide access to many kinds of computing infrastructure.
+Especially when combined with other open-source schedulers such as Dask, you can manage fairly
+complex computing infrastructure from the interactive sessions of a JupyterHub. For example
+[see the Dask HPC page](https://docs.dask.org/en/latest/setup/hpc.html).
+
+### How much resources do user sessions take?
+
+This is highly configurable by the administrator. If you wish for your users to have simple
+data analytics environments for prototyping and light data exploring, you can restrict their
+memory and CPU based on the resources that you have available. If you'd like your JupyterHub
+to serve as a gateway to high-performance compute or data resources, you may increase the
+resources available on user machines, or connect them with computing infrastructure elsewhere.
+
+### Can I customize the look and feel of a JupyterHub?
+
+JupyterHub provides some customization of the graphics displayed to users. The most common
+modification is to add custom branding to the JupyterHub login page, loading pages, and
+various elements that persist across all pages (such as headers).
+
+## For Technical Leads
+
+### Will JupyterHub “just work” with our team's interactive computing setup?
+
+Depending on the complexity of your setup, you'll have different experiences with "out of the box"
+distributions of JupyterHub. If all of the resources you need will fit on a single VM, then
+[The Littlest JupyterHub](https://tljh.jupyter.org) should get you up-and-running within
+a half day or so. For more complex setups, such as scalable Kubernetes clusters or access
+to high-performance computing and data, it will require more time and expertise with
+the technologies your JupyterHub will use (e.g., dev-ops knowledge with cloud computing).
+
+In general, the base JupyterHub deployment is not the bottleneck for setup, it is connecting
+your JupyterHub with the various services and tools that you wish to provide to your users.
+
+
+### How well does JupyterHub scale? What are JupyterHub's limitations?
+
+JupyterHub works well at both a small scale (e.g., a single VM or machine) as well as a
+high scale (e.g., a scalable Kubernetes cluster). It can be used for teams as small a 2, and
+for user bases as large as 10,000. The scalability of JupyterHub largely depends on the
+infrastructure on which it is deployed. JupyterHub has been designed to be lightweight and
+flexible, so you can tailor your JupyterHub deployment to your needs.
+
+
+### Is JupyterHub resilient? What happens when a machine goes down?
+
+For JupyterHubs that are deployed in a containerized environment (e.g., Kubernetes), it is
+possible to configure the JupyterHub to be fairly resistant to failures in the system.
+For example, if JupyterHub fails, then user sessions will not be affected (though new
+users will not be able to log in). When a JupyterHub process is restarted, it should
+seamlessly connect with the user database and the system will return to normal.
+Again, the details of your JupyterHub deployment (e.g., whether it's deployed on a scalable cluster)
+will affect the resiliency of the deployment.
+
+### What interfaces does JupyterHub support?
+
+Out of the box, JupyterHub supports a variety of popular data science interfaces for user sessions,
+such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebooks, and RStudio. Any interface that can be served
+via a web address can be served with a JupyterHub (with the right setup).
+
+### Does JupyterHub make it easier for our team to collaborate?
+
+JupyterHub provides a standardized environment and access to shared resources for your teams.
+This greatly reduces the cost associated with sharing analyses and content with other team
+members, and makes it easier to collaborate and build off of one another's ideas. Combined with
+access to high-performance computing and data, JupyterHub provides a common resource to
+amplify your team's ability to prototype their analyses, scale them to larger data, and then
+share their results with one another.
+
+JupyterHub also provides a computational framework to share computational narratives between
+different levels of an organization. For example, data scientists can share Jupyter Notebooks
+rendered as [voila dashboards](https://voila.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) with those who are not
+familiar with programming, or create publicly-available interactive analyses to allow others to
+interact with your work.
+
+### Can I use JupyterHub with R/RStudio or other languages and environments?
+
+Yes, Jupyter is a polyglot project, and there are over 40 community-provided kernels for a variety
+of languages (the most common being Python, Julia, and R). You can also use a JupyterHub to provide
+access to other interfaces, such as RStudio, that provide their own access to a language kernel.

+To make life easier, JupyterHub has distributions. Be sure to

+   take a look at the `Zero to JupyterHub with Kubernetes <https://github.com/jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s>`__ .
+
+
+Four subsystems make up JupyterHub:
+
+* a **Hub** (tornado process) that is the heart of JupyterHub
+* a **configurable http proxy** (node-http-proxy) that receives the requests from the client's browser
+* multiple **single-user Jupyter notebook servers** (Python/IPython/tornado) that are monitored by Spawners
+* an **authentication class** that manages how users can access the system
+
+
+Besides these central pieces, you can add optional configurations through a `config.py` file and manage users kernels on an admin panel. A simplification of the whole system can be seen in the figure below:

+# Install JupyterHub and JupyterLab from the ground up
+
+The combination of [JupyterHub](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io) and [JupyterLab](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io)
+is a great way to make shared computing resources available to a group.
+
+These instructions are a guide for a manual, 'bare metal' install of [JupyterHub](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io)
+and [JupyterLab](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io). This is ideal for running on a single server: build a beast
+of a machine and share it within your lab, or use a virtual machine from any VPS or cloud provider.
+
+This guide has similar goals to [The Littlest JupyterHub](https://the-littlest-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io) setup
+script. However, instead of bundling all these step for you into one installer, we will perform every step manually.
+This makes it easy to customize any part (e.g. if you want to run other services on the same system and need to make them
+work together), as well as giving you full control and understanding of your setup.
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Your own server with administrator (root) access. This could be a local machine, a remotely hosted one, or a cloud instance
+or VPS. Each user who will access JupyterHub should have a standard user account on the machine. The install will be done
+through the command line - useful if you log into your machine remotely using SSH.
+
+This tutorial was tested on **Ubuntu 18.04**. No other Linux distributions have been tested, but the instructions
+should be reasonably straightforward to adapt.
+
+
+## Goals
+
+JupyterLab enables access to a multiple 'kernels', each one being a given environment for a given language. The most
+common is a Python environment, for scientific computing usually one managed by the `conda` package manager.
+
+This guide will set up JupyterHub and JupyterLab seperately from the Python environment. In other words, we treat
+JupyterHub+JupyterLab as a 'app' or webservice, which will connect to the kernels available on the system. Specifically:
+
+- We will create an installation of JupyterHub and JupyterLab using a virtualenv under `/opt` using the system Python.
+
+- We will install conda globally.
+
+- We will create a shared conda environment which can be used (but not modified) by all users.
+
+- We will show how users can create their own private conda environments, where they can install whatever they like.
+
+
+The default JupyterHub Authenticator uses PAM to authenticate system users with their username and password. One can
+[choose the authenticator](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/authenticators.html#authenticators)
+that best suits their needs. In this guide we will use the default Authenticator because it makes it easy for everyone to manage data
+in their home folder and to mix and match different services and access methods (e.g. SSH) which all work using the
+Linux system user accounts. Therefore, each user of JupyterHub will need a standard system user account.
+
+Another goal of this guide is to use system provided packages wherever possible. This has the advantage that these packages
+get automatic patches and security updates (be sure to turn on automatic updates in Ubuntu). This means less maintenance
+work and a more reliable system.
+
+## Part 1: JupyterHub and JupyterLab
+
+### Setup the JupyterHub and JupyterLab in a virtual environment
+
+First we create a virtual environment under '/opt/jupyterhub'. The '/opt' folder is where apps not belonging to the operating
+system are [commonly installed](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11544/what-is-the-difference-between-opt-and-usr-local).
+Both jupyterlab and jupyterhub will be installed into this virtualenv. Create it with the command:
+
+```sh
+sudo python3 -m venv /opt/jupyterhub/
+```
+
+Now we use pip to install the required Python packages into the new virtual environment. Be sure to install
+`wheel` first. Since we are separating the user interface from the computing kernels, we don't install
+any Python scientific packages here. The only exception is `ipywidgets` because this is needed to allow connection
+between interactive tools running in the kernel and the user interface.
+
+Note that we use `/opt/jupyterhub/bin/python3 -m pip install` each time - this [makes sure](https://snarky.ca/why-you-should-use-python-m-pip/)
+that the packages are installed to the correct virtual environment.
+
+Perform the install using the following commands:
+
+```sh
+sudo /opt/jupyterhub/bin/python3 -m pip install wheel
+sudo /opt/jupyterhub/bin/python3 -m pip install jupyterhub jupyterlab
+sudo /opt/jupyterhub/bin/python3 -m pip install ipywidgets
+```
+
+JupyterHub also currently defaults to requiring `configurable-http-proxy`, which needs `nodejs` and `npm`. The versions
+of these available in Ubuntu therefore need to be installed first (they are a bit old but this is ok for our needs):
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install nodejs npm
+```
+
+Then install `configurable-http-proxy`:
+
+```sh
+sudo npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
+```
+
+### Create the configuration for JupyterHub
+
+Now we start creating configuration files. To keep everything together, we put all the configuration into the folder
+created for the virtualenv, under `/opt/jupyterhub/etc/`. For each thing needing configuration, we will create a further
+subfolder and necessary files.
+
+First create the folder for the JupyterHub configuration and navigate to it:
+
+```sh
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/jupyterhub/etc/jupyterhub/
+cd /opt/jupyterhub/etc/jupyterhub/
+```
+Then generate the default configuration file
+
+```sh
+sudo /opt/jupyterhub/bin/jupyterhub --generate-config
+```
+This will produce the default configuration file `/opt/jupyterhub/etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py`
+
+You will need to edit the configuration file to make the JupyterLab interface by the default.
+Set the following configuration option in your `jupyterhub_config.py` file:
+
+```python
+c.Spawner.default_url = '/lab'
+```
+
+Further configuration options may be found in the documentation.
+
+### Setup Systemd service
+
+We will setup JupyterHub to run as a system service using Systemd (which is responsible for managing all services and
+servers that run on startup in Ubuntu). We will create a service file in a suitable location in the virtualenv folder
+and then link it to the system services. First create the folder for the service file:
+
+```sh
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/jupyterhub/etc/systemd
+```
+
+Then create the following text file using your [favourite editor](https://micro-editor.github.io/) at
+```sh
+/opt/jupyterhub/etc/systemd/jupyterhub.service
+```
+
+Paste the following service unit definition into the file:
+
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=JupyterHub
+After=syslog.target network.target
+
+[Service]
+User=root
+Environment="PATH=/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/jupyterhub/bin"
+ExecStart=/opt/jupyterhub/bin/jupyterhub -f /opt/jupyterhub/etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+This sets up the environment to use the virtual environment we created, tells Systemd how to start jupyterhub using
+the configuration file we created, specifies that jupyterhub will be started as the `root` user (needed so that it can
+start jupyter on behalf of other logged in users), and specifies that jupyterhub should start on boot after the network
+is enabled.
+
+Finally, we need to make systemd aware of our service file. First we symlink our file into systemd's directory:
+
+```sh
+sudo ln -s /opt/jupyterhub/etc/systemd/jupyterhub.service /etc/systemd/system/jupyterhub.service
+```
+
+Then tell systemd to reload its configuration files
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+And finally enable the service
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl enable jupyterhub.service
+```
+
+The service will start on reboot, but we can start it straight away using:
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl start jupyterhub.service
+```
+
+...and check that it's running using:
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl status jupyterhub.service
+```
+
+You should now be already be able to access jupyterhub using `<your servers ip>:8000` (assuming you haven't already set
+up a firewall or something). However, when you log in the jupyter notebooks will be trying to use the Python virtualenv
+that was created to install JupyterHub, this is not what we want. So on to part 2
+
+## Part 2: Conda environments
+
+### Install conda for the whole system
+
+We will use `conda` to manage Python environments. We will install the officially maintained `conda` packages for Ubuntu,
+this means they will get automatic updates with the rest of the system. Setup repo for the official Conda debian packages,
+instructions are copied from [here](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/rpm-debian.html):
+
+Install Anacononda public gpg key to trusted store
+```sh
+curl https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/misc/gpgkeys/anaconda.asc | gpg --dearmor > conda.gpg
+sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 conda.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
+```
+
+Add Debian repo
+
+```sh
+echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/misc/debrepo/conda stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conda.list
+```
+
+Install conda
+
+```sh
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install conda
+```
+
+This will install conda into the folder `/opt/conda/`, with the conda command available at `/opt/conda/bin/conda`.
+
+Finally, we can make conda more easily available to users by symlinking the conda shell setup script to the profile
+'drop in' folder so that it gets run on login
+
+```sh
+sudo ln -s /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh /etc/profile.d/conda.sh
+```
+
+### Install a default conda environment for all users
+
+First create a folder for conda envs (might exist already):
+```sh
+sudo mkdir /opt/conda/envs/
+```
+
+Then create a conda environment to your liking within that folder. Here we have called it 'python' because it will
+be the obvious default - call it whatever you like. You can install whatever you like into this environment, but you MUST at least install `ipykernel`.
+
+```sh
+sudo /opt/conda/bin/conda create --prefix /opt/conda/envs/python python=3.7 ipykernel
+```
+
+Once your env is set up as desired, make it visible to Jupyter by installing the kernel spec. There are two options here:
+
+1 ) Install into the JupyterHub virtualenv - this ensures it overrides the default python version. It will only be visible
+to the JupyterHub installation we have just created. This is useful to avoid conda environments appearing where they are not expected.
+
+```sh
+sudo /opt/conda/envs/python/bin/python -m ipykernel install --prefix=/opt/jupyterhub/ --name 'python' --display-name "Python (default)"
+```
+
+2 ) Install it system-wide by putting it into `/usr/local`. It will be visible to any parallel install of JupyterHub or
+JupyterLab, and will persist even if you later delete or modify the JupyterHub installation. This is useful if the kernels
+might be used by other services, or if you want to modify the JupyterHub installation independently from the conda environments.
+
+```sh
+sudo /opt/conda/envs/python/bin/python -m ipykernel install --prefix /usr/local/ --name 'python' --display-name "Python (default)"
+````
+
+### Setting up users' own conda environments
+
+There is relatively little for the administrator to do here, as users will have to set up their own environments using the shell.
+On login they should run `conda init` or  `/opt/conda/bin/conda`. The can then use conda to set up their environment,
+although they must also install `ipykernel`. Once done, they can enable their kernel using:
+
+```sh
+/path/to/kernel/env/bin/python -m ipykernel install --name 'python-my-env' --display-name "Python My Env"
+```
+
+This will place the kernel spec into their home folder, where Jupyter will look for it on startup.
+
+
+## Setting up a reverse proxy
+
+The guide so far results in JupyterHub running on port 8000. It is not generally advisable to run open web services in
+this way - instead, use a reverse proxy running on standard HTTP/HTTPS ports.
+
+> **Important**: Be aware of the security implications especially if you are running a server that is accessible from the open internet
+> i.e. not protected within an institutional intranet or private home/office network. You should set up a firewall and
+> HTTPS encryption, which is outside of the scope of this guide. For HTTPS consider using [LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
+> or setting up a [self-signed certificate](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate-for-nginx-in-ubuntu-18-04).
+> Firewalls may be set up using `ufw` or `firewalld` and combined with `fail2ban`.
+
+### Using Nginx
+Nginx is a mature and established web server and reverse proxy and is easy to install using `sudo apt install nginx`.
+Details on using Nginx as a reverse proxy can be found elsewhere. Here, we will only outline the additional steps needed
+to setup JupyterHub with Nginx and host it at a given URL e.g. `<your-server-ip-or-url>/jupyter`.
+This could be useful for example if you are running several services or web pages on the same server.
+
+To achieve this needs a few tweaks to both the JupyterHub configuration and the Nginx config. First, edit the
+configuration file `/opt/jupyterhub/etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py` and add the line:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.bind_url = 'http://:8000/jupyter'
+```
+
+where `/jupyter` will be the relative URL of the JupyterHub.
+
+Now Nginx must be configured with a to pass all traffic from `/jupyter` to the the local address `127.0.0.1:8000`.
+Add the following snippet to your nginx configuration file (e.g. `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`).
+
+```
+  location /jupyter/ {
+    # NOTE important to also set base url of jupyterhub to /jupyter in its config
+    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
+
+    proxy_redirect   off;
+    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+
+    # websocket headers
+    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
+
+  }
+```
+
+Also add this snippet before the *server* block:
+
+```
+map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
+        default upgrade;
+        '' close;
+    }
+```
+
+Nginx will not run if there are errors in the configuration, check your configuration using:
+
+```sh
+nginx -t
+```
+
+If there are no errors, you can restart the Nginx service for the new configuration to take effect.
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
+```
+
+
+## Getting started using your new JupyterHub
+
+Once you have setup JupyterHub and Nginx proxy as described, you can browse to your JupyterHub IP or URL
+(e.g. if your server IP address is `123.456.789.1` and you decided to host JupyterHub at the `/jupyter` URL, browse
+to `123.456.789.1/jupyter`). You will find a login page where you enter your Linux username and password. On login
+you will be presented with the JupyterLab interface, with the file browser pane showing the contents of your users'
+home directory on the server.

+which will write them to the `internal_certs_location` in folders named
+`proxy_api` and `proxy_client`. Alternatively, these can be provided to the
+hub via the `jupyterhub_config.py` file by providing a `dict` of named paths
+to the `external_authorities` option. The hub will include all certificates
+provided in that `dict` in the trust bundle utilized by all internal

+# Running proxy separately from the hub
+
+
+## Background
+
+The thing which users directly connect to is the proxy, by default
+`configurable-http-proxy`.  The proxy either redirects users to the
+hub (for login and managing servers), or to their own single-user
+servers.  Thus, as long as the proxy stays running, access to existing
+servers continues, even if the hub itself restarts or goes down.
+
+When you first configure the hub, you may not even realize this
+because the proxy is automatically managed by the hub.  This is great
+for getting started and even most use, but everytime you restart the
+hub, all user connections also get restarted.  But it's also simple to
+run the proxy as a service separate from the hub, so that you are free
+to reconfigure the hub while only interrupting users who are currently
+actively starting the hub.
+
+The default JupyterHub proxy is
+[configurable-http-proxy](https://github.com/jupyterhub/configurable-http-proxy),
+and that page has some docs.  If you are using a different proxy, such
+as Traefik, these instructions are probably not relevant to you.
+
+
+## Configuration options
+
+`c.JupyterHub.cleanup_servers = False` should be set, which tells the
+hub to not stop servers when the hub restarts (this is useful even if
+you don't run the proxy separately).
+
+`c.ConfigurableHTTPProxy.should_start = False` should be set, which
+tells the hub that the proxy should not be started (because you start
+it yourself).
+
+`c.ConfigurableHTTPProxy.auth_token = "CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN"` should be set to a
+token for authenticating communication with the proxy.
+
+`c.ConfigurableHTTPProxy.api_url = 'http://localhost:8001'` should be
+set to the URL which the hub uses to connect *to the proxy's API*.
+
+
+## Proxy configuration
+
+You need to configure a service to start the proxy.  An example
+command line for this is `configurable-http-proxy --ip=127.0.0.1
+--port=8000 --api-ip=127.0.0.1 --api-port=8001
+--default-target=http://localhost:8081
+--error-target=http://localhost:8081/hub/error`.  (Details for how to
+do this is out of scope for this tutorial - for example it might be a
+systemd service on within another docker cotainer).  The proxy has no
+configuration files, all configuration is via the command line and
+environment variables.
+
+`--api-ip` and `--api-port` (which tells the proxy where to listen) should match the hub's `ConfigurableHTTPProxy.api_url`.
+
+`--ip`, `-port`, and other options configure the *user* connections to the proxy.
+
+`--default-target` and `--error-target` should point to the hub, and used when users navigate to the proxy originally.
+
+You must define the environment variable `CONFIGPROXY_AUTH_TOKEN` to
+match the token given to `c.ConfigurableHTTPProxy.auth_token`.
+
+You should check the [configurable-http-proxy
+options](https://github.com/jupyterhub/configurable-http-proxy) to see
+what other options are needed, for example SSL options.  Note that
+these are configured in the hub if the hub is starting the proxy - you
+need to move the options to here.
+
+
+## Docker image
+
+You can use [jupyterhub configurable-http-proxy docker
+image](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyterhub/configurable-http-proxy/)
+to run the proxy.

+### Encryption
+
+Communication between the `Proxy`, `Hub`, and `Notebook` can be secured by
+turning on `internal_ssl` in `jupyterhub_config.py`. For a custom spawner to
+utilize these certs, there are two methods of interest on the base `Spawner`
+class: `.create_certs` and `.move_certs`.
+
+The first method, `.create_certs` will sign a key-cert pair using an internally
+trusted authority for notebooks.  During this process, `.create_certs` can
+apply `ip` and `dns` name information to the cert via an `alt_names` `kwarg`.
+This is used for certificate authentication (verification). Without proper
+verification, the `Notebook` will be unable to communicate with the `Hub` and
+vice versa when `internal_ssl` is enabled. For example, given a deployment
+using the `DockerSpawner` which will start containers with `ips` from the
+`docker` subnet pool, the `DockerSpawner` would need to instead choose a
+container `ip` prior to starting and pass that to `.create_certs` (TODO: edit).
+
+In general though, this method will not need to be changed and the default
+`ip`/`dns` (localhost) info will suffice.
+
+When `.create_certs` is run, it will `.create_certs` in a default, central
+location specified by `c.JupyterHub.internal_certs_location`. For `Spawners`
+that need access to these certs elsewhere (i.e. on another host altogether),
+the `.move_certs` method can be overridden to move the certs appropriately.
+Again, using `DockerSpawner` as an example, this would entail moving certs
+to a directory that will get mounted into the container this spawner starts.

-# 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. Whether you
-are using the default SQLite database or an RDBMS, such as PostgreSQL or
-MySQL, the process follows similar steps.
-
-**Before upgrading a JupyterHub deployment**, it's critical to backup your data
-and configurations before shutting down the JupyterHub process and server.
-
-## Note about upgrading the SQLite database
-
-When used in production systems, SQLite has some disadvantages when it
-comes to upgrading JupyterHub. These are:
-
-- `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 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`

+# JupyterHub URL scheme
+
+This document describes how JupyterHub routes requests.
+
+This does not include the [REST API](./rest.md) urls.
+
+In general, all URLs can be prefixed with `c.JupyterHub.base_url` to
+run the whole JupyterHub application on a prefix.
+
+All authenticated handlers redirect to `/hub/login` to login users
+prior to being redirected back to the originating page.
+The returned request should preserve all query parameters.
+
+
+
+## `/`
+
+The top-level request is always a simple redirect to `/hub/`,
+to be handled by the default JupyterHub handler.
+
+In general, all requests to `/anything` that do not start with `/hub/`
+but are routed to the Hub, will be redirected to `/hub/anything` before being handled by the Hub.
+
+## `/hub/`
+
+This is an authenticated URL.
+
+This handler redirects users to the default URL of the application,
+which defaults to the user's default server.
+That is, it redirects to `/hub/spawn` if the user's server is not running,
+or the server itself (`/user/:name`) if the server is running.
+
+This default url behavior can be customized in two ways:
+
+To redirect users to the JupyterHub home page (`/hub/home`)
+instead of spawning their server,
+set `redirect_to_server` to False:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.redirect_to_server = False
+```
+
+This might be useful if you have a Hub where you expect
+users to be managing multiple server configurations
+and automatic spawning is not desirable.
+
+Second, you can customise the landing page to any page you like,
+such as a custom service you have deployed e.g. with course information:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.default_url = '/services/my-landing-service'
+```
+
+## `/hub/home`
+
+![The Hub home page with named servers enabled](../images/named-servers-home.png)
+
+By default, the Hub home page has just one or two buttons
+for starting and stopping the user's server.
+
+If named servers are enabled, there will be some additional
+tools for management of named servers.
+
+*Version added: 1.0* named server UI is new in 1.0.
+
+## `/hub/login`
+
+This is the JupyterHub login page.
+If you have a form-based username+password login,
+such as the default PAMAuthenticator,
+this page will render the login form.
+
+![A login form](../images/login-form.png)
+
+If login is handled by an external service,
+e.g. with OAuth, this page will have a button,
+declaring "Login with ..." which users can click
+to login with the chosen service.
+
+![A login redirect button](../images/login-button.png)
+
+If you want to skip the user-interaction to initiate logging in
+via the button, you can set
+
+```python
+c.Authenticator.auto_login = True
+```
+
+This can be useful when the user is "already logged in" via some mechanism,
+but a handshake via redirects is necessary to complete the authentication with JupyterHub.
+
+## `/hub/logout`
+
+Visiting `/hub/logout` clears cookies from the current browser.
+Note that **logging out does not stop a user's server(s)** by default.
+
+If you would like to shutdown user servers on logout,
+you can enable this behavior with:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.shutdown_on_logout = True
+```
+
+Be careful with this setting because logging out one browser
+does not mean the user is no longer actively using their server from another machine.
+
+## `/user/:username[/:servername]`
+
+If a user's server is running, this URL is handled by the user's given server,
+not the Hub.
+The username is the first part and, if using named servers,
+the server name is the second part.
+
+If the user's server is *not* running, this will be redirected to `/hub/user/:username/...`
+
+## `/hub/user/:username[/:servername]`
+
+This URL indicates a request for a user server that is not running
+(because `/user/...` would have been handled by the notebook server
+if the specified server were running).
+
+Handling this URL is the most complicated condition in JupyterHub,
+because there can be many states:
+
+1. server is not active
+  a. user matches
+  b. user doesn't match
+2. server is ready
+3. server is pending, but not ready
+
+If the server is pending spawn,
+the browser will be redirected to `/hub/spawn-pending/:username/:servername`
+to see a progress page while waiting for the server to be ready.
+
+If the server is not active at all,
+a page will be served with a link to `/hub/spawn/:username/:servername`.
+Following that link will launch the requested server.
+The HTTP status will be 503 in this case because a request has been made for a server that is not running.
+
+If the server is ready, it is assumed that the proxy has not yet registered the route.
+Some checks are performed and a delay is added before redirecting back to `/user/:username/:servername/...`.
+If something is really wrong, this can result in a redirect loop.
+
+Visiting this page will never result in triggering the spawn of servers
+without additional user action (i.e. clicking the link on the page)
+
+![Visiting a URL for a server that's not running](../images/not-running.png)
+
+*Version changed: 1.0*
+
+Prior to 1.0, this URL itself was responsible for spawning servers,
+and served the progress page if it was pending,
+redirected to running servers, and
+This was useful because it made sure that requested servers were restarted after they stopped,
+but could also be harmful because unused servers would continuously be restarted if e.g.
+an idle JupyterLab frontend were open pointed at it,
+which constantly makes polling requests.
+
+### Special handling of API requests
+
+Requests to `/user/:username[/:servername]/api/...` are assumed to be
+from applications connected to stopped servers.
+These are failed with 503 and an informative JSON error message
+indicating how to spawn the server.
+This is meant to help applications such as JupyterLab
+that are connected to a server that has stopped.
+
+*Version changed: 1.0*
+
+JupyterHub 0.9 failed these API requests with status 404,
+but 1.0 uses 503.
+
+## `/user-redirect/...`
+
+This URL is for sharing a URL that will redirect a user
+to a path on their own default server.
+This is useful when users have the same file at the same URL on their servers,
+and you want a single link to give to any user that will open that file on their server.
+
+e.g. a link to `/user-redirect/notebooks/Index.ipynb`
+will send user `hortense` to `/user/hortense/notebooks/Index.ipynb`
+
+**DO NOT** share links to your own server with other users.
+This will not work in general,
+unless you grant those users access to your server.
+
+**Contributions welcome:** The JupyterLab "shareable link" should share this link
+when run with JupyterHub, but it does not.
+See [jupyterlab-hub](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterlab-hub)
+where this should probably be done and
+[this issue in JupyterLab](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/5388)
+that is intended to make it possible.
+
+## Spawning
+
+### `/hub/spawn[/:username[/:servername]]`
+
+Requesting `/hub/spawn` will spawn the default server for the current user.
+If `username` and optionally `servername` are specified,
+then the specified server for the specified user will be spawned.
+Once spawn has been requested,
+the browser is redirected to `/hub/spawn-pending/...`.
+
+If `Spawner.options_form` is used,
+this will render a form,
+and a POST request will trigger the actual spawn and redirect.
+
+![The spawn form](../images/spawn-form.png)
+
+*Version added: 1.0*
+
+1.0 adds the ability to specify username and servername.
+Prior to 1.0, only `/hub/spawn` was recognized for the default server.
+
+*Version changed: 1.0*
+
+Prior to 1.0, this page redirected back to `/hub/user/:username`,
+which was responsible for triggering spawn and rendering progress, etc.
+
+### `/hub/spawn-pending[/:username[/:servername]]`
+
+![The spawn pending page](../images/spawn-pending.png)
+
+*Version added: 1.0* this URL is new in JupyterHub 1.0.
+
+This page renders the progress view for the given spawn request.
+Once the server is ready,
+the browser is redirected to the running server at `/user/:username/:servername/...`.
+
+If this page is requested at any time after the specified server is ready,
+the browser will be redirected to the running server.
+
+Requesting this page will never trigger any side effects.
+If the server is not running (e.g. because the spawn has failed),
+the spawn failure message (if applicable) will be displayed,
+and the page will show a link back to `/hub/spawn/...`.
+
+## `/hub/token`
+
+![The token management page](../images/token-page.png)
+
+On this page, users can manage their JupyterHub API tokens.
+They can revoke access and request new tokens for writing scripts
+against the [JupyterHub REST API](./rest.md).
+
+## `/hub/admin`
+
+![The admin panel](../images/named-servers-admin.png)
+
+Administrators can take various administrative actions from this page:
+
+1. add/remove users
+2. grant admin privileges
+3. start/stop user servers
+4. shutdown JupyterHub itself
