-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).
-
-1. clone the repo
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub
-   ```
-2. do a development install with pip
-
-   ```bash
-   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
-pre-commit run
-```
-
-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 you have already committed files before setting up the pre-commit
-hook with `pre-commit install`, you can fix everything up using
-`pre-commit run --all-files`. You need to make the fixing commit
-yourself after that.
-
-## Testing
-
-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 can run the tests with:
-
-```bash
-pytest -v
-```
-
-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)
-for how pytest can be called.
-For instance, to test only spawner-related things in the REST API:
-
-```bash
-pytest -v -k spawn jupyterhub/tests/test_api.py
-```
-
-The tests live in `jupyterhub/tests` and are organized roughly into:
-
-1. `test_api.py` tests the REST API
-2. `test_pages.py` tests loading the HTML pages
-
-and other collections of tests for different components.
-When writing a new test, there should usually be a test of
-similar functionality already written and related tests should
-be added nearby.
-
-The fixtures live in `jupyterhub/tests/conftest.py`. There are
-fixtures that can be used for JupyterHub components, such as:
-
-- `app`: an instance of JupyterHub with mocked parts
-- `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
-- `admin_user`: creates a new temporary admin user
-- single user servers
-  - `cleanup_after`: allows cleanup of single user servers between tests
-- mocked service
-  - `MockServiceSpawner`: a spawner that mocks services for testing with a short poll interval
-  - `mockservice`: mocked service with no external service url
-  - `mockservice_url`: mocked service with a url to test external services
-
-And fixtures to add functionality or spawning behavior:
-
-- `admin_access`: grants admin access
-- `no_patience`: sets slow-spawning timeouts to zero
-- `slow_spawn`: enables the SlowSpawner (a spawner that takes a few seconds to start)
-- `never_spawn`: enables the NeverSpawner (a spawner that will never start)
-- `bad_spawn`: enables the BadSpawner (a spawner that fails immediately)
-- `slow_bad_spawn`: enables the SlowBadSpawner (a spawner that fails after a short delay)
-
-To read more about fixtures check out the
-[pytest docs](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/fixture.html)
-for how to use the existing fixtures, and how to create new ones.
-
-When in doubt, feel free to [ask](https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/jupyterhub).
+If you need some help, feel free to ask on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/jupyterhub) or [Discourse](https://discourse.jupyter.org/).

+# How to make a release
+
+`jupyterhub` is a package available on [PyPI][] and [conda-forge][].
+These are instructions on how to make a release.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- Push rights to [jupyterhub/jupyterhub][]
+- Push rights to [conda-forge/jupyterhub-feedstock][]
+
+## Steps to make a release
+
+1. Create a PR updating `docs/source/changelog.md` with [github-activity][] and
+   continue only when its merged.
+
+   ```shell
+   pip install github-activity
+
+   github-activity --heading-level=3 jupyterhub/jupyterhub
+   ```
+
+1. Checkout main and make sure it is up to date.
+
+   ```shell
+   git checkout main
+   git fetch origin main
+   git reset --hard origin/main
+   ```
+
+1. Update the version, make commits, and push a git tag with `tbump`.
+
+   ```shell
+   pip install tbump
+   tbump --dry-run ${VERSION}
+
+   tbump ${VERSION}
+   ```
+
+   Following this, the [CI system][] will build and publish a release.
+
+1. Reset the version back to dev, e.g. `2.1.0.dev` after releasing `2.0.0`
+
+   ```shell
+   tbump --no-tag ${NEXT_VERSION}.dev
+   ```
+
+1. Following the release to PyPI, an automated PR should arrive to
+   [conda-forge/jupyterhub-feedstock][] with instructions.

-====================
-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!

+#       a. rediraffe will then automatically add the obvious redirects to redirects.txt.
+#       b. Analyze the output of the command for broken links.
+#       c. Check the "redirects.txt" file for any files that were moved/ renamed but are not listed.
+#       d. Manually add the redirects that have been mised by the automatic builder to "redirects.txt".
+#    Option 3: Do not use the commands above and, instead, do everything manually - by taking
+#    note of the files you have moved or renamed and adding them to the "redirects.txt" file.
+#
+# If you are basing changes off another branch/ commit, always change back

+# Community communication channels
+
+We use different channels of communication for different purposes. Whichever one you use will depend on what kind of communication you want to engage in.
+
+## Discourse (recommended)
+
+We use [Discourse](https://discourse.jupyter.org) for online discussions and support questions.
+You can ask questions here if you are a first-time contributor to the JupyterHub project.
+Everyone in the Jupyter community is welcome to bring ideas and questions there.
+
+We recommend that you first use our Discourse as all past and current discussions on it are archived and searchable. Thus, all discussions remain useful and accessible to the whole community.
+
+## Gitter
+
+We use [our Gitter channel](https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/jupyterhub) for online, real-time text chat; a place for more ephemeral discussions. When you're not on Discourse, you can stop here to have other discussions on the fly.
+
+## Github Issues
+
+[Github issues](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/about-issues) are used for most long-form project discussions, bug reports and feature requests.
+
+- Issues related to a specific authenticator or spawner should be opened in the appropriate repository for the authenticator or spawner.
+- If you are using a specific JupyterHub distribution (such as [Zero to JupyterHub on Kubernetes](https://github.com/jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s) or [The Littlest JupyterHub](https://github.com/jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub/)), you should open issues directly in their repository.
+- If you cannot find a repository to open your issue in, do not worry! Open the issue in the [main JupyterHub repository](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/) and our community will help you figure it out.
+
+```{note}
+Our community is distributed across the world in various timezones, so please be patient if you do not get a response immediately!

+
+Documentation is often more important than code. This page helps
+you get set up on how to contribute to JupyterHub's documentation.
+
+## Building documentation locally
+
+We use [sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org) to build our documentation. It takes
+our documentation source files (written in [markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) or [reStructuredText](https://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.
+
+1. Make sure you have successfully completed {ref}`contributing/setup`.
+
+2. Install the packages required to build the docs.
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. Build the html version of the docs. This is the most commonly used
+   output format, so verifying it renders correctly is usually good
+   enough.
+
+   ```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.
+
+4. View the rendered documentation by opening `_build/html/index.html` in
+   a web browser.
+
+   :::{tip}
+   **On Windows**, you can open a file from the terminal with `start <path-to-file>`.
+
+   **On macOS**, you can do the same with `open <path-to-file>`.
+
+   **On Linux**, you can do the same with `xdg-open <path-to-file>`.

+   you rebuild the docs via `make html`

+
+This section lists various conventions we use in our documentation. This is a
+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,
+so help in making it so would be appreciated!
+
+### `pip` invocation
+
+There are many ways to invoke a `pip` command, we recommend the following
+approach:
+
+```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.

+requires you have at least version 3.6 installed locally. If you haven’t
+installed Python before, the recommended way to install it is to use
+[Miniforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#download).
+
+### Install nodejs
+
+[NodeJS 12+](https://nodejs.org/en/) is required for building some JavaScript components.
+`configurable-http-proxy`, the default proxy implementation for JupyterHub, is written in Javascript.
+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`.
+
+Many in the Jupyter community use \[`nvm`\](<https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm>) to
+managing node dependencies.
+
+### 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 would need to make changes and be able to instantly view the results of the changes. To achieve that, a developer install is required.
+
+:::{note}
+This guide does not attempt to dictate _how_ development
+environments 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.
+
+   ```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.
+
+   ```bash
+   python -V
+   ```
+
+   This should return a version number greater than or equal to 3.6.
+
+   ```bash
+   npm -v
+   ```
+
+   This should return a version number greater than or equal to 5.0.
+
+3. Install `configurable-http-proxy` (required to run and test the default JupyterHub configuration) and `yarn` (required to build some components):
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g configurable-http-proxy yarn
+   ```
+
+   If you get an error that says `Error: EACCES: permission denied`, you might need to prefix the command with `sudo`.
+   `sudo` may be required to perform a system-wide install.
+   If you do not have access to sudo, you may instead run the following commands:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install configurable-http-proxy yarn
+   export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/node_modules/.bin
+   ```
+
+   The second line needs to be run every time you open a new terminal.
+
+   If you are using conda you can instead run:
+
+   ```bash
+   conda install configurable-http-proxy yarn
+   ```
+
+4. Install an editable version of JupyterHub and its requirements for
+   development and testing. This lets you edit JupyterHub code in a text editor
+   & restart the JupyterHub process to see your code changes immediately.
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m pip install --editable ".[test]"
+   ```
+
+5. Set up 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 [The Hub's Database](hub-database) for details on other supported databases.
+
+6. You are now ready to start JupyterHub!
+
+   ```bash
+   jupyterhub
+   ```
+
+7. You can access JupyterHub from your browser at
+   `http://localhost:8000` now.
+
+Happy developing!
+
+## Using DummyAuthenticator & SimpleLocalProcessSpawner
+
+To simplify testing of JupyterHub, it is 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:
+
+```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:
+
+```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

+
+```bash
+python3 setup.py js    # fetch updated client-side js

+# Testing JupyterHub and linting code
+
+Unit testing helps to 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 the tests. You
+can find them under the [jupyterhub/tests](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/tree/main/jupyterhub/tests) directory in the git repository.
+
+## Running the tests
+
+1. Make sure you have completed {ref}`contributing/setup`.
+   Once you are done, you would be able to run `jupyterhub` from the command line and access it from your web browser.
+   This ensures that the dev environment is properly set up for tests to run.
+
+2. You can run all tests in JupyterHub
+
+   ```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:
+
+   ```bash
+   pytest -v --cov=jupyterhub jupyterhub/tests
+   ```
+
+3. You can also run tests in just a specific file:
+
+   ```bash
+   pytest -v jupyterhub/tests/<test-file-name>
+   ```
+
+4. To run a specific test only, you can do:
+
+   ```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:
+
+   ```bash
+   pytest -v jupyterhub/tests/test_api.py::test_shutdown
+   ```
+
+   For more details, refer to the [pytest usage documentation](https://pytest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html).
+
+## Test organisation
+
+The tests live in `jupyterhub/tests` and are organized roughly into:
+
+1. `test_api.py` tests the REST API
+2. `test_pages.py` tests loading the HTML pages
+
+and other collections of tests for different components.
+When writing a new test, there should usually be a test of
+similar functionality already written and related tests should
+be added nearby.
+
+The fixtures live in `jupyterhub/tests/conftest.py`. There are
+fixtures that can be used for JupyterHub components, such as:
+
+- `app`: an instance of JupyterHub with mocked parts
+- `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
+- `admin_user`: creates a new temporary admin user
+- single user servers
+  \- `cleanup_after`: allows cleanup of single user servers between tests
+- mocked service
+  \- `MockServiceSpawner`: a spawner that mocks services for testing with a short poll interval
+  \- `` mockservice` ``: mocked service with no external service url
+  \- `mockservice_url`: mocked service with a url to test external services
+
+And fixtures to add functionality or spawning behavior:
+
+- `admin_access`: grants admin access
+- `` no_patience` ``: sets slow-spawning timeouts to zero
+- `slow_spawn`: enables the SlowSpawner (a spawner that takes a few seconds to start)
+- `never_spawn`: enables the NeverSpawner (a spawner that will never start)
+- `bad_spawn`: enables the BadSpawner (a spawner that fails immediately)
+- `slow_bad_spawn`: enables the SlowBadSpawner (a spawner that fails after a short delay)
+
+Refer to the [pytest fixtures documentation](https://pytest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fixture.html) to learn how to use fixtures that exists already and to create new ones.
+
+### The Pytest-Asyncio Plugin
+
+When testing the various JupyterHub components and their various implementations, it sometimes becomes necessary to have a running instance of JupyterHub to test against.
+The [`app`](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/270b61992143b29af8c2fab90c4ed32f2f6fe209/jupyterhub/tests/conftest.py#L60) fixture mocks a JupyterHub application for use in testing by:
+
+- enabling ssl if internal certificates are available
+- creating an instance of [MockHub](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/270b61992143b29af8c2fab90c4ed32f2f6fe209/jupyterhub/tests/mocking.py#L221) using any provided configurations as arguments
+- initializing the mocked instance
+- starting the mocked instance
+- finally, a registered finalizer function performs a cleanup and stops the mocked instance
+
+The JupyterHub test suite uses the [pytest-asyncio plugin](https://pytest-asyncio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) that handles [event-loop](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html) integration in [Tornado](https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/) applications. This allows for the use of top-level awaits when calling async functions or [fixtures](https://docs.pytest.org/en/6.2.x/fixture.html#what-fixtures-are) during testing. All test functions and fixtures labelled as `async` will run on the same event loop.
+
+```{note}
+With the introduction of [top-level awaits](https://piccolo-orm.com/blog/top-level-await-in-python/), the use of the `io_loop` fixture of the [pytest-tornado plugin](https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ioloop.html) is no longer necessary. It was initially used to call coroutines. With the upgrades made to `pytest-asyncio`, this usage is now deprecated. It is now, only utilized within the JupyterHub test suite to ensure complete cleanup of resources used during testing such as open file descriptors. This is demonstrated in this [pull request](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/pull/4332).
+More information is provided below.
+```
+
+One of the general goals of the [JupyterHub Pytest Plugin project](https://github.com/jupyterhub/pytest-jupyterhub) is to ensure the MockHub cleanup fully closes and stops all utilized resources during testing so the use of the `io_loop` fixture for teardown is not necessary. This was highlighted in this [issue](https://github.com/jupyterhub/pytest-jupyterhub/issues/30)
+
+For more information on asyncio and event-loops, here are some resources:
+
+- **Read**: [Introduction to the Python event loop](https://www.pythontutorial.net/python-concurrency/python-event-loop)
+- **Read**: [Overview of Async IO in Python 3.7](https://stackabuse.com/overview-of-async-io-in-python-3-7)
+- **Watch**: [Asyncio: Understanding Async / Await in Python](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs9tlDFWWdQ)
+- **Watch**: [Learn Python's AsyncIO #2 - The Event Loop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Yn5biBZ58)
+
+## Troubleshooting Test Failures
+
+### All the tests are failing
+
+Make sure you have completed all the steps in {ref}`contributing/setup` successfully, and are able to access JupyterHub from your browser at http://localhost:8000 after starting `jupyterhub` in your command line.
+
+## Code formatting and linting
+
+JupyterHub automatically enforces code formatting. This means that pull requests
+with changes breaking this formatting will receive a commit from pre-commit.ci
+automatically.
+
+To automatically format code locally, you can install pre-commit and register a
+_git hook_ to automatically check with pre-commit before you make a commit if
+the formatting is okay.
+
+```bash
+pip install pre-commit
+pre-commit install --install-hooks
+```
+
+To run pre-commit manually you would do:
+
+```bash
+# check for changes to code not yet committed
+pre-commit run
+
+# check for changes also in already committed code
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+You may also install [black integration](https://github.com/psf/black#editor-integration)
+into your text editor to format code automatically.

+# Capacity planning
+
+General capacity planning advice for JupyterHub is hard to give,
+because it depends almost entirely on what your users are doing,
+and what JupyterHub users do varies _wildly_ in terms of resource consumption.
+
+**There is no single answer to "I have X users, what resources do I need?" or "How many users can I support with this machine?"**
+
+Here are three _typical_ Jupyter use patterns that require vastly different resources:
+
+- **Learning**: negligible resources because computation is mostly idle,
+  e.g. students learning programming for the first time
+- **Production code**: very intense, sustained load, e.g. training machine learning models
+- **Bursting**: _mostly_ idle, but needs a lot of resources for short periods of time
+  (interactive research often looks like this)
+
+But just because there's no single answer doesn't mean we can't help.
+So we have gathered here some useful information to help you make your decisions
+about what resources you need based on how your users work,
+including the relative invariants in terms of resources that JupyterHub itself needs.
+
+## JupyterHub infrastructure
+
+JupyterHub consists of a few components that are always running.
+These take up very little resources,
+especially relative to the resources consumed by users when you have more than a few.
+
+As an example, an instance of mybinder.org (running JupyterHub 1.5.0),
+running with typically ~100-150 users has:
+
+| Component | CPU (mean/peak) | Memory (mean/peak) |

+
+## Factors to consider
+
+### Static vs elastic resources
+
+A big factor in planning resources is:
+**how much does it cost to change your mind?**
+If you are using a single shared machine with local storage,
+migrating to a new one because it turns out your users don't fit might be very costly.
+You will have to get a new machine, set it up, and maybe even migrate user data.
+
+On the other hand, if you are using ephemeral resources,
+such as node pools in Kubernetes,
+changing resource types costs close to nothing
+because nodes can automatically be added or removed as needed.
+
+Take that cost into account when you are picking how much memory or cpu to allocate to users.
+
+Static resources (like [the-littlest-jupyterhub][]) provide for more **stable, predictable costs**,
+but elastic resources (like [zero-to-jupyterhub][]) tend to provide **lower overall costs**
+(especially when deployed with monitoring allowing cost optimizations over time),
+but which are **less predictable**.
+

+
+[zero-to-jupyterhub]: https://z2jh.jupyter.org
+
+(limits-requests)=
+
+### Limit vs Request for resources
+
+Many scheduling tools like Kubernetes have two separate ways of allocating resources to users.
+A **Request** or **Reservation** describes how much resources are _set aside_ for each user.
+Often, this doesn't have any practical effect other than deciding when a given machine is considered 'full'.
+If you are using expandable resources like an autoscaling Kubernetes cluster,
+a new node must be launched and added to the pool if you 'request' more resources than fit on currently running nodes (a cluster **scale-up event**).
+If you are running on a single VM, this describes how many users you can run at the same time, full stop.
+
+A **Limit**, on the other hand, enforces a limit to how much resources any given user can consume.
+For more information on what happens when users try to exceed their limits, see [](oversubscription).
+
+In the strictest, safest case, you can have these two numbers be the same.
+That means that each user is _limited_ to fit within the resources allocated to it.
+This avoids **[oversubscription](oversubscription)** of resources (allowing use of more than you have available),
+at the expense (in a literal, this-costs-money sense) of reserving lots of usually-idle capacity.
+
+However, you often find that a small fraction of users use more resources than others.
+In this case you may give users limits that _go beyond the amount of resources requested_.
+This is called **oversubscribing** the resources available to users.
+
+Having a gap between the request and the limit means you can fit a number of _typical_ users on a node (based on the request),
+but still limit how much a runaway user can gobble up for themselves.
+
+(oversubscription)=
+
+### Oversubscribed CPU is okay, running out of memory is bad
+
+An important consideration when assigning resources to users is: **What happens when users need more than I've given them?**
+
+A good summary to keep in mind:
+
+> When tasks don't get enough CPU, things are slow.
+> When they don't get enough memory, things are broken.
+
+This means it's **very important that users have enough memory**,
+but much less important that they always have exclusive access to all the CPU they can use.
+
+This relates to [Limits and Requests](limits-requests),
+because these are the consequences of your limits and/or requests not matching what users actually try to use.
+
+A table of mismatched resource allocation situations and their consequences:
+
+| issue                                                    | consequence                                                                           |
+| -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Requests too high                                        | Unnecessarily high cost and/or low capacity.                                          |
+| CPU limit too low                                        | Poor performance experienced by users                                                 |
+| CPU oversubscribed (too-low request + too-high limit)    | Poor performance across the system; may crash, if severe                              |
+| Memory limit too low                                     | Servers killed by Out-of-Memory Killer (OOM); lost work for users                     |
+| Memory oversubscribed (too-low request + too-high limit) | System memory exhaustion - all kinds of hangs and crashes and weird errors. Very bad. |
+
+Note that the 'oversubscribed' problem case is where the request is lower than _typical_ usage,
+meaning that the total reserved resources isn't enough for the total _actual_ consumption.
+This doesn't mean that _all_ your users exceed the request,
+just that the _limit_ gives enough room for the _average_ user to exceed the request.
+
+All of these considerations are important _per node_.
+Larger nodes means more users per node, and therefore more users to average over.
+It also means more chances for multiple outliers on the same node.
+
+### Example case for oversubscribing memory
+
+Take for example, this system and sampling of user behavior:
+
+- System memory = 8G
+- memory request = 1G, limit = 3G
+- typical 'heavy' user: 2G
+- typical 'light' user: 0.5G
+
+This will assign 8 users to those 8G of RAM (remember: only requests are used for deciding when a machine is 'full').
+As long as the total of 8 users _actual_ usage is under 8G, everything is fine.
+But the _limit_ allows a total of 24G to be used,
+which would be a mess if everyone used their full limit.
+But _not_ everyone uses the full limit, which is the point!
+
+This pattern is fine if 1/8 of your users are 'heavy' because _typical_ usage will be ~0.7G,
+and your total usage will be ~5G (`1 × 2 + 7 × 0.5 = 5.5`).
+
+But if _50%_ of your users are 'heavy' you have a problem because that means your users will be trying to use 10G (`4 × 2 + 4 × 0.5 = 10`),
+which you don't have.
+
+You can make guesses at these numbers, but the only _real_ way to get them is to measure (see [](measuring)).
+
+### CPU:memory ratio
+
+Most of the time, you'll find that only one resource is the limiting factor for your users.
+Most often it's memory, but for certain tasks, it could be CPU (or even GPUs).
+
+Many cloud deployments have just one or a few fixed ratios of cpu to memory
+(e.g. 'general purpose', 'high memory', and 'high cpu').
+Setting your secondary resource allocation according to this ratio
+after selecting the more important limit results in a balanced resource allocation.
+
+For instance, some of Google Cloud's ratios are:
+
+| node type   | GB RAM / CPU core |
+| ----------- | ----------------- |
+| n2-highmem  | 8                 |
+| n2-standard | 4                 |
+| n2-highcpu  | 1                 |
+
+(idleness)=
+
+### Idleness
+
+Jupyter being an interactive tool means people tend to spend a lot more time reading and thinking than actually running resource-intensive code.
+This significantly affects how much _cpu_ resources a typical active user needs,
+but often does not significantly affect the _memory_.
+
+Ways to think about this:
+
+- More idle users means unused CPU.
+  This generally means setting your CPU _limit_ higher than your CPU _request_.
+- What do your users do when they _are_ running code?
+  Is it typically single-threaded local computation in a notebook?
+  If so, there's little reason to set a limit higher than 1 CPU core.
+- Do typical computations take a long time, or just a few seconds?
+  Longer typical computations means it's more likely for users to be trying to use the CPU at the same moment,
+  suggesting a higher _request_.
+- Even with idle users, parallel computation adds up quickly - one user fully loading 4 cores and 3 using almost nothing still averages to more than a full CPU core per user.
+- Long-running intense computations suggest higher requests.
+
+Again, using mybinder.org as an example—we run around 100 users on 8-core nodes,
+and still see fairly _low_ overall CPU usage on each user node.
+The limit here is actually Kubernetes' pods per node, not memory _or_ CPU.
+This is likely a extreme case, as many Binder users come from clicking links on webpages
+without any actual intention of running code.
+
+```{figure} /images/mybinder-load5.png
+mybinder.org node CPU usage is low with 50-150 users sharing just 8 cores
+```
+
+### Concurrent users and culling idle servers
+
+Related to [][idleness], all of these resource consumptions and limits are calculated based on **concurrently active users**,
+not total users.
+You might have 10,000 users of your JupyterHub deployment, but only 100 of them running at any given time.
+That 100 is the main number you need to use for your capacity planning.
+JupyterHub costs scale very little based on the number of _total_ users,
+up to a point.
+
+There are two important definitions for **active user**:
+
+- Are they _actually_ there (i.e. a human interacting with Jupyter, or running code that might be )
+- Is their server running (this is where resource reservations and limits are actually applied)
+
+Connecting those two definitions (how long are servers running if their humans aren't using them) is an important area of deployment configuration, usually implemented via the [JupyterHub idle culler service][idle-culler].
+
+[idle-culler]: https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-idle-culler
+
+There are a lot of considerations when it comes to culling idle users that will depend:
+
+- How much does it save me to shut down user servers? (e.g. keeping an elastic cluster small, or keeping a fixed-size deployment available to active users)
+- How much does it cost my users to have their servers shut down? (e.g. lost work if shutdown prematurely)
+- How easy do I want it to be for users to keep their servers running? (e.g. Do they want to run unattended simulations overnight? Do you want them to?)
+
+Like many other things in this guide, there are many correct answers leading to different configuration choices.
+For more detail on culling configuration and considerations, consult the [JupyterHub idle culler documentation][idle-culler].
+
+## More tips
+
+### Start strict and generous, then measure
+
+A good tip, in general, is to give your users as much resources as you can afford that you think they _might_ use.
+Then, use resource usage metrics like prometheus to analyze what your users _actually_ need,
+and tune accordingly.
+Remember: **Limits affect your user experience and stability. Requests mostly affect your costs**.
+
+For example, a sensible starting point (lacking any other information) might be:
+
+```yaml
+request:
+  cpu: 0.5
+  mem: 2G
+limit:
+  cpu: 1
+  mem: 2G
+```
+
+(more memory if significant computations are likely - machine learning models, data analysis, etc.)
+
+Some actions
+
+- If you see out-of-memory killer events, increase the limit (or talk to your users!)
+- If you see typical memory well below your limit, reduce the request (but not the limit)
+- If _nobody_ uses that much memory, reduce your limit
+- If CPU is your limiting scheduling factor and your CPUs are mostly idle,
+  reduce the cpu request (maybe even to 0!).
+- If CPU usage continues to be low, increase the limit to 2 or 4 to allow bursts of parallel execution.
+
+(measuring)=
+
+### Measuring user resource consumption
+
+It is _highly_ recommended to deploy monitoring services such as [Prometheus][]
+and [Grafana][] to get a view of your users' resource usage.
+This is the only way to truly know what your users need.
+
+JupyterHub has some experimental [grafana dashboards][] you can use as a starting point,
+to keep an eye on your resource usage.
+Here are some sample charts from (again from mybinder.org),
+showing >90% of users using less than 10% CPU and 200MB,
+but a few outliers near the limit of 1 CPU and 2GB of RAM.
+This is the kind of information you can use to tune your requests and limits.

+
+### Measuring costs
+
+Measuring costs may be as important as measuring your users activity.
+If you are using a cloud provider, you can often use cost thresholds and quotas to instruct them to notify you if your costs are too high,
+e.g. "Have AWS send me an email if I hit X spending trajectory on week 3 of the month."
+You can then use this information to tune your resources based on what you can afford.
+You can mix this information with user resource consumption to figure out if you have a problem,
+e.g. "my users really do need X resources, but I can only afford to give them 80% of X."
+This information may prove useful when asking your budget-approving folks for more funds.
+
+### Additional resources
+
+There are lots of other resources for cost and capacity planning that may be specific to JupyterHub and/or your cloud provider.

+
+# The Hub's Database
+
+JupyterHub uses a database to store information about users, services, and other data needed for operating the Hub.
+This is the **state** of the Hub.
+
+## Why does JupyterHub have a database?
+
+JupyterHub is a **stateful** application (more on that 'state' later).
+Updating JupyterHub's configuration or upgrading the version of JupyterHub requires restarting the JupyterHub process to apply the changes.
+We want to minimize the disruption caused by restarting the Hub process, so it can be a mundane, frequent, routine activity.
+Storing state information outside the process for later retrieval is necessary for this, and one of the main thing databases are for.
+
+A lot of the operations in JupyterHub are also **relationships**, which is exactly what SQL databases are great at.
+For example:
+
+- Given an API token, what user is making the request?
+- Which users don't have running servers?
+- Which servers belong to user X?
+- Which users have not been active in the last 24 hours?
+
+Finally, a database allows us to have more information stored without needing it all loaded in memory,
+e.g. supporting a large number (several thousands) of inactive users.
+
+## What's in the database?
+
+The short answer of what's in the JupyterHub database is "everything."
+JupyterHub's **state** lives in the database.
+That is, everything JupyterHub needs to be aware of to function that _doesn't_ come from the configuration files, such as
+
+- users, roles, role assignments
+- state, urls of running servers
+- Hashed API tokens
+- Short-lived state related to OAuth flow
+- Timestamps for when users, tokens, and servers were last used
+
+### What's _not_ in the database
+
+Not _quite_ all of JupyterHub's state is in the database.
+This mostly involves transient state, such as the 'pending' transitions of Spawners (starting, stopping, etc.).
+Anything not in the database must be reconstructed on Hub restart, and the only sources of information to do that are the database and JupyterHub configuration file(s).
+
+## How does JupyterHub use the database?
+
+JupyterHub makes some _unusual_ choices in how it connects to the database.
+These choices represent trade-offs favoring single-process simplicity and performance at the expense of horizontal scalability (multiple Hub instances).
+
+We often say that the Hub 'owns' the database.
+This ownership means that we assume the Hub is the only process that will talk to the database.
+This assumption enables us to make several caching optimizations that dramatically improve JupyterHub's performance (i.e. data written recently to the database can be read from memory instead of fetched again from the database) that would not work if multiple processes could be interacting with the database at the same time.
+
+Database operations are also synchronous, so while JupyterHub is waiting on a database operation, it cannot respond to other requests.
+This allows us to avoid complex locking mechanisms, because transaction races can only occur during an `await`, so we only need to make sure we've completed any given transaction before the next `await` in a given request.
+
+:::{note}
+We are slowly working to remove these assumptions, and moving to a more traditional db session per-request pattern.
+This will enable multiple Hub instances and enable scaling JupyterHub, but will significantly reduce the number of active users a single Hub instance can serve.
+:::
+
+### Database performance in a typical request
+
+Most authenticated requests to JupyterHub involve a few database transactions:
+
+1. look up the authenticated user (e.g. look up token by hash, then resolve owner and permissions)
+2. record activity
+3. perform any relevant changes involved in processing the request (e.g. create the records for a running server when starting one)
+
+This means that the database is involved in almost every request, but only in quite small, simple queries, e.g.:
+
+- lookup one token by hash
+- lookup one user by name
+- list tokens or servers for one user (typically 1-10)
+- etc.
+
+### The database as a limiting factor
+
+As a result of the above transactions in most requests, database performance is the _leading_ factor in JupyterHub's baseline requests-per-second performance, but that cost does not scale significantly with the number of users, active or otherwise.
+However, the database is _rarely_ a limiting factor in JupyterHub performance in a practical sense, because the main thing JupyterHub does is start, stop, and monitor whole servers, which take far more time than any small database transaction, no matter how many records you have or how slow your database is (within reason).
+Additionally, there is usually _very_ little load on the database itself.
+
+By far the most taxing activity on the database is the 'list all users' endpoint, primarily used by the [idle-culling service](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-idle-culler).
+Database-based optimizations have been added to make even these operations feasible for large numbers of users:
+
+1. State filtering on [GET /hub/api/users?state=active](../reference/rest-api.html#/default/get_users){.external},
+   which limits the number of results in the query to only the relevant subset (added in JupyterHub 1.3), rather than all users.
+2. [Pagination](api-pagination) of all list endpoints, allowing the request of a large number of resources to be more fairly balanced with other Hub activities across multiple requests (added in 2.0).
+
+:::{note}
+It's important to note when discussing performance and limiting factors and that all of this only applies to requests to `/hub/...`.
+The Hub and its database are not involved in most requests to single-user servers (`/user/...`), which is by design, and largely motivated by the fact that the Hub itself doesn't _need_ to be fast because its operations are infrequent and large.
+:::
+
+## Database backends
+
+JupyterHub supports a variety of database backends via [SQLAlchemy][].
+The default is sqlite, which works great for many cases, but you should be able to use many backends supported by SQLAlchemy.
+Usually, this will mean PostgreSQL or MySQL, both of which are well tested with JupyterHub.
+
+[sqlalchemy]: https://www.sqlalchemy.org
+
+### Default backend: SQLite
+
+The default database backend for JupyterHub is [SQLite](https://sqlite.org).
+We have chosen SQLite as JupyterHub's default because it's simple (the 'database' is a single file) and ubiquitous (it is in the Python standard library).
+It works very well for testing, small deployments, and workshops.
+
+For production systems, SQLite has some disadvantages when used with JupyterHub:
+
+- `upgrade-db` may not always 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).
+
+### Picking your database backend (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
+
+When running a long term deployment or a production system, we recommend using a full-fledged relational database, such as [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) or [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com), that supports the SQL `ALTER TABLE` statement.
+
+## Notes and Tips
+
+### SQLite
+
+The SQLite database should not be used on NFS. SQLite uses reader/writer locks
+to control access to the database. This locking mechanism might not work
+correctly if the database file is kept on an NFS filesystem. This is because
+`fcntl()` file locking is broken on many NFS implementations. Therefore, you
+should avoid putting SQLite database files on NFS since it will not handle well
+multiple processes which might try to access the file at the same time.
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+We recommend using PostgreSQL for production if you are unsure whether to use
+MySQL or PostgreSQL or if you do not have a strong preference. There is
+additional configuration required for MySQL that is not needed for PostgreSQL.
+
+### MySQL / MariaDB
+
+- You should use the `pymysql` sqlalchemy provider (the other one, MySQLdb,
+  isn't available for py3).
+- You also need to set `pool_recycle` to some value (typically 60 - 300)
+  which depends on your MySQL setup. This is necessary since MySQL kills
+  connections serverside if they've been idle for a while, and the connection
+  from the hub will be idle for longer than most connections. This behavior
+  will lead to frustrating 'the connection has gone away' errors from
+  sqlalchemy if `pool_recycle` is not set.
+- If you use `utf8mb4` collation with MySQL earlier than 5.7.7 or MariaDB
+  earlier than 10.2.1 you may get an `1709, Index column size too large` error.
+  To fix this you need to set `innodb_large_prefix` to enabled and
+  `innodb_file_format` to `Barracuda` to allow for the index sizes jupyterhub
+  uses. `row_format` will be set to `DYNAMIC` as long as those options are set
+  correctly. Later versions of MariaDB and MySQL should set these values by
+  default, as well as have a default `DYNAMIC` `row_format` and pose no trouble
+  to users.

+# The JupyterHub single-user server
+
+When a user logs into JupyterHub, they get a 'server', which we usually call the **single-user server**, because it's a server that's meant for a single JupyterHub user.
+Each JupyterHub user gets a different one (or more than one!).
+
+A single-user server is a process running somewhere that is:
+
+1. accessible over http[s],
+2. authenticated via JupyterHub using OAuth 2.0,
+3. started by a [Spawner](spawners), and
+4. 'owned' by a single JupyterHub user
+
+## The single-user server command
+
+The Spawner's default single-user server startup command, `jupyterhub-singleuser`, launches `jupyter-server`, the same program used when you run `jupyter lab` on your laptop.
+(_It can also launch the legacy `jupyter-notebook` server_).
+That's why JupyterHub looks familiar to folks who are already using Jupyter at home or elsewhere.
+It's the same!
+`jupyterhub-singleuser` _customizes_ that program to change (approximately) one thing: **authenticate requests with JupyterHub**.
+
+(singleuser-auth)=
+
+## Single-user server authentication
+
+Implementation-wise, JupyterHub single-user servers are a special-case of {ref}`services`
+and as such use the same (OAuth) authentication mechanism (more on OAuth in JupyterHub at [](oauth)).
+This is primarily implemented in the {class}`~.HubOAuth` class.
+
+This code resides in `jupyterhub.singleuser` subpackage of JupyterHub.
+The main task of this code is to:
+
+1. resolve a JupyterHub token to a JupyterHub user (authenticate)
+2. check permissions (`access:servers`) for the token to make sure the request should be allowed (authorize)
+3. if not authorized, begin the OAuth process with a redirect to the Hub
+4. after login, store OAuth tokens in a cookie only used by this single-user server
+5. implement logout to clear the cookie
+
+Most of this is implemented in the {class}`~.HubOAuth` class. `jupyterhub.singleuser` is responsible for _adapting_ the base Jupyter Server to use HubOAuth for these tasks.
+
+### JupyterHub authentication extension
+
+By default, `jupyter-server` uses its own cookie to authenticate.
+If that cookie is not present, the server redirects you a login page and asks you to enter a password or token.
+
+Jupyter Server 2.0 introduces two new _APIs_ for customizing authentication: the [IdentityProvider](inv:jupyter-server#jupyter_server.auth.IdentityProvider) and the [Authorizer](inv:jupyter-server#jupyter_server.auth.Authorizer).
+More information can be found in the [Jupyter Server documentation](https://jupyter-server.readthedocs.io).
+
+JupyterHub implements these APIs in `jupyterhub.singleuser.extension`.
+
+The IdentityProvider is responsible for _authenticating_ requests.
+In JupyterHub, that means extracting OAuth tokens from the request and resolving them to a JupyterHub user.
+
+The Authorizer is a _separate_ API for _authorizing_ actions on particular resources.
+Because the JupyterHub IdentityProvider only allows _authenticating_ users who already have the necessary `access:servers` permission to access the server, the default Authorizer only contains a redundant check for this same permission, and ignores the resource inputs.
+However, specifying a _custom_ Authorizer allows for granular permissions, such as read-only access to subsets of a shared server.
+
+### JupyterHub authentication via subclass
+
+Prior to Jupyter Server 2 (i.e. Jupyter Server 1.x or the legacy `jupyter-notebook` server), JupyterHub authentication is applied via _subclass_.
+Originally a subclass of `NotebookApp`,
+this approach works with both `jupyter-server` and `jupyter-notebook`.
+Instead of using the extension mechanisms above,
+the server application is _subclassed_. This worked well in the `jupyter-notebook` days,
+but doesn't fit well with Jupyter Server's extension-based architecture.
+
+### Selecting jupyterhub-singleuser implementation
+
+Using the JupyterHub singleuser-server extension is the default behavior of JupyterHub 4 and Jupyter Server 2, otherwise the subclass approach is taken.
+
+You can opt-out of the extension by setting the environment variable `JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_EXTENSION=0`:
+
+```python
+c.Spawner.environment.update(
+    {
+        "JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_EXTENSION": "0",
+    }
+)
+```
+
+The subclass approach will also be taken if you've opted to use the classic notebook server with:
+
+```
+JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP=notebook
+```
+
+which was introduced in JupyterHub 2.
+
+## Other customizations
+
+`jupyterhub-singleuser` makes other small customizations to how the single-user server behaves:
+
+1. logs activity on the single-user server, used in [idle-culling](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-idle-culler).
+2. disables some features that don't make sense in JupyterHub (trash, retrying ports)
+3. loading options such as URLs and SSL configuration from the environment
+4. customize logging for consistency with JupyterHub logs
+
+## Running a single-user server that's not `jupyterhub-singleuser`
+
+By default, `jupyterhub-singleuser` is the same `jupyter-server` used by JupyterLab, Jupyter notebook (>= 7), etc.
+But technically, all JupyterHub cares about is that it is:
+
+1. an http server at the prescribed URL, accessible from the Hub and proxy, and
+2. authenticated via [OAuth](oauth) with the Hub (it doesn't even have to do this, if you want to do your own authentication, as is done in BinderHub)
+
+which means that you can customize JupyterHub to launch _any_ web application that meets these criteria, by following the specifications in {ref}`services`.
+
+Most of the time, though, it's easier to use [jupyter-server-proxy](https://jupyter-server-proxy.readthedocs.io) if you want to launch additional web applications in JupyterHub.

-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.html>`_.
-
-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, for example if the hub is running behind a reverse proxy, and
-`SSL termination is being provided by NGINX <https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/nginx-ssl-termination/>`_,
-it is reasonable to run the hub without SSL.
-
-To achieve this, simply omit the configuration settings
-``c.JupyterHub.ssl_key`` and ``c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert``
-(setting them to ``None`` does not have the same effect, and is an error).
-
-.. _authentication-token:
-
-Proxy authentication token
---------------------------
-
-The Hub authenticates its requests to the Proxy using a secret token that
-the Hub and Proxy agree upon. Note that this applies to the default
-``ConfigurableHTTPProxy`` implementation. Not all proxy implementations
-use an auth token.
-
-The value of this token should be a random string (for example, generated by
-``openssl rand -hex 32``). You can store it in the configuration file or an
-environment variable
-
-Generating and storing token in the configuration file
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can set the value in the configuration file, ``jupyterhub_config.py``:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    c.ConfigurableHTTPProxy.api_token = 'abc123...' # any random string
-
-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).
-
-.. _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.
-
-.. _cookies:
-
-Cookies used by JupyterHub authentication
------------------------------------------
-
-The following cookies are used by the Hub for handling user authentication.
-
-This section was created based on this post_ from Discourse.
-
-.. _post: https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/how-to-force-re-login-for-users/1998/6
-
-jupyterhub-hub-login
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This is the login token used when visiting Hub-served pages that are
-protected by authentication such as the main home, the spawn form, etc.
-If this cookie is set, then the user is logged in.
-
-Resetting the Hub cookie secret effectively revokes this cookie.
-
-This cookie is restricted to the path ``/hub/``.
-
-jupyterhub-user-<username>
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This is the cookie used for authenticating with a single-user server.
-It is set by the single-user server after OAuth with the Hub.
-
-Effectively the same as ``jupyterhub-hub-login``, but for the
-single-user server instead of the Hub. It contains an OAuth access token,
-which is checked with the Hub to authenticate the browser.
-
-Each OAuth access token is associated with a session id (see ``jupyterhub-session-id`` section
-below).
-
-To avoid hitting the Hub on every request, the authentication response
-is cached. And to avoid a stale cache the cache key is comprised of both
-the token and session id.
-
-Resetting the Hub cookie secret effectively revokes this cookie.
-
-This cookie is restricted to the path ``/user/<username>``, so that
-only the user’s server receives it.
-
-jupyterhub-session-id
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This is a random string, meaningless in itself, and the only cookie
-shared by the Hub and single-user servers.
-
-Its sole purpose is to coordinate logout of the multiple OAuth cookies.
-
-This cookie is set to ``/`` so all endpoints can receive it, or clear it, etc.
-
-jupyterhub-user-<username>-oauth-state
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A short-lived cookie, used solely to store and validate OAuth state.
-It is only set while OAuth between the single-user server and the Hub
-is processing.
-
-If you use your browser development tools, you should see this cookie
-for a very brief moment before your are logged in,
-with an expiration date shorter than ``jupyterhub-hub-login`` or
-``jupyterhub-user-<username>``.
-
-This cookie should not exist after you have successfully logged in.
-
-This cookie is restricted to the path ``/user/<username>``, so that only
-the user’s server receives it.

+# Deploying JupyterHub in "API only mode"
+
+As a service for deploying and managing Jupyter servers for users, JupyterHub
+exposes this functionality _primarily_ via a [REST API](rest).
+For convenience, JupyterHub also ships with a _basic_ web UI built using that REST API.
+The basic web UI enables users to click a button to quickly start and stop their servers,
+and it lets admins perform some basic user and server management tasks.
+
+The REST API has always provided additional functionality beyond what is available in the basic web UI.
+Similarly, we avoid implementing UI functionality that is also not available via the API.
+With JupyterHub 2.0, the basic web UI will **always** be composed using the REST API.
+In other words, no UI pages should rely on information not available via the REST API.
+Previously, some admin UI functionality could only be achieved via admin pages,
+such as paginated requests.
+
+## Limited UI customization via templates
+
+The JupyterHub UI is customizable via extensible HTML [templates](templates),
+but this has some limited scope to what can be customized.
+Adding some content and messages to existing pages is well supported,
+but changing the page flow and what pages are available are beyond the scope of what is customizable.
+
+## Rich UI customization with REST API based apps
+
+Increasingly, JupyterHub is used purely as an API for managing Jupyter servers
+for other Jupyter-based applications that might want to present a different user experience.
+If you want a fully customized user experience,
+you can now disable the Hub UI and use your own pages together with the JupyterHub REST API
+to build your own web application to serve your users,
+relying on the Hub only as an API for managing users and servers.
+
+One example of such an application is [BinderHub][], which powers https://mybinder.org,
+and motivates many of these changes.
+
+BinderHub is distinct from a traditional JupyterHub deployment
+because it uses temporary users created for each launch.
+Instead of presenting a login page,
+users are presented with a form to specify what environment they would like to launch:
+
+![Binder launch form](../images/binderhub-form.png)
+
+When a launch is requested:
+
+1. an image is built, if necessary
+2. a temporary user is created,
+3. a server is launched for that user, and
+4. when running, users are redirected to an already running server with an auth token in the URL
+5. after the session is over, the user is deleted
+
+This means that a lot of JupyterHub's UI flow doesn't make sense:
+
+- there is no way for users to login
+- the human user doesn't map onto a JupyterHub `User` in a meaningful way
+- when a server isn't running, there isn't a 'restart your server' action available because the user has been deleted
+- users do not have any access to any Hub functionality, so presenting pages for those features would be confusing
+
+BinderHub is one of the motivating use cases for JupyterHub supporting being used _only_ via its API.
+We'll use BinderHub here as an example of various configuration options.
+
+[binderhub]: https://binderhub.readthedocs.io
+
+## Disabling Hub UI
+
+`c.JupyterHub.hub_routespec` is a configuration option to specify which URL prefix should be routed to the Hub.
+The default is `/` which means that the Hub will receive all requests not already specified to be routed somewhere else.
+
+There are three values that are most logical for `hub_routespec`:
+
+- `/` - this is the default, and used in most deployments.
+  It is also the only option prior to JupyterHub 1.4.
+- `/hub/` - this serves only Hub pages, both UI and API
+- `/hub/api` - this serves _only the Hub API_, so all Hub UI is disabled,
+  aside from the OAuth confirmation page, if used.
+
+If you choose a hub routespec other than `/`,
+the main JupyterHub feature you will lose is the automatic handling of requests for `/user/:username`
+when the requested server is not running.
+
+JupyterHub's handling of this request shows this page,
+telling you that the server is not running,
+with a button to launch it again:
+
+![screenshot of hub page for server not running](../images/server-not-running.png)
+
+If you set `hub_routespec` to something other than `/`,
+it is likely that you also want to register another destination for `/` to handle requests to not-running servers.
+If you don't, you will see a default 404 page from the proxy:
+
+![screenshot of CHP default 404](../images/chp-404.png)
+
+For mybinder.org, the default "start my server" page doesn't make sense,
+because when a server is gone, there is no restart action.
+Instead, we provide hints about how to get back to a link to start a _new_ server:
+
+![screenshot of mybinder.org 404](../images/binder-404.png)
+
+To achieve this, mybinder.org registers a route for `/` that goes to a custom endpoint
+that runs nginx and only serves this static HTML error page.
+This is set with
+
+```python
+c.Proxy.extra_routes = {
+    "/": "http://custom-404-entpoint/",
+}
+```
+
+You may want to use an alternate behavior, such as redirecting to a landing page,
+or taking some other action based on the requested page.
+
+If you use `c.JupyterHub.hub_routespec = "/hub/"`,
+then all the Hub pages will be available,
+and only this default-page-404 issue will come up.
+
+If you use `c.JupyterHub.hub_routespec = "/hub/api/"`,
+then only the Hub _API_ will be available,
+and all UI will be up to you.
+mybinder.org takes this last option,
+because none of the Hub UI pages really make sense.
+Binder users don't have any reason to know or care that JupyterHub happens
+to be an implementation detail of how their environment is managed.
+Seeing Hub error pages and messages in that situation is more likely to be confusing than helpful.
+
+:::{versionadded} 1.4
+
+`c.JupyterHub.hub_routespec` and `c.Proxy.extra_routes` are new in JupyterHub 1.4.

+# Configuring user environments
+
+To deploy JupyterHub means you are providing Jupyter notebook environments for
+multiple users. Often, this includes a desire to configure the user
+environment in a custom way.
+
+Since the `jupyterhub-singleuser` server extends the standard Jupyter notebook
+server, most configuration and documentation that applies to Jupyter Notebook
+applies to the single-user environments. Configuration of user environments
+typically does not occur through JupyterHub itself, but rather through system-wide
+configuration of Jupyter, which is inherited by `jupyterhub-singleuser`.
+
+**Tip:** When searching for configuration tips for JupyterHub user environments, you might want to remove JupyterHub from your search because there are a lot more people out there configuring Jupyter than JupyterHub and the configuration is the same.
+
+This section will focus on user environments, which includes the following:
+
+- [Installing packages](#installing-packages)
+- [Configuring Jupyter and IPython](#configuring-jupyter-and-ipython)
+- [Installing kernelspecs](#installing-kernelspecs)
+- [Using containers vs. multi-user hosts](#multi-user-hosts-vs-containers)
+
+## Installing packages
+
+To make packages available to users, you will typically install packages system-wide or in a shared environment.
+
+This installation location should always be in the same environment where
+`jupyterhub-singleuser` itself is installed in, and must be _readable and
+executable_ by your users. If you want your users to be able to install additional
+packages, the installation location must also be _writable_ by your users.
+
+If you are using a standard Python installation on your system, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+sudo python3 -m pip install numpy
+```
+
+to install the numpy package in the default Python 3 environment on your system
+(typically `/usr/local`).
+
+You may also use conda to install packages. If you do, you should make sure
+that the conda environment has appropriate permissions for users to be able to
+run Python code in the env. The env must be _readable and executable_ by all
+users. Additionally it must be _writeable_ if you want users to install
+additional packages.
+
+## Configuring Jupyter and IPython
+
+[Jupyter](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config_overview.html)
+and [IPython](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/development/config.html)
+have their own configuration systems.
+
+As a JupyterHub administrator, you will typically want to install and configure environments for all JupyterHub users. For example, let's say you wish for each student in a class to have the same user environment configuration.
+
+Jupyter and IPython support **"system-wide"** locations for configuration, which is the logical place to put global configuration that you want to affect all users. It's generally more efficient to configure user environments "system-wide", and it's a good practice to avoid creating files in the users' home directories.
+The typical locations for these config files are:
+
+- **system-wide** in `/etc/{jupyter|ipython}`
+- **env-wide** (environment wide) in `{sys.prefix}/etc/{jupyter|ipython}`.
+
+### Jupyter environment configuration priority
+
+When Jupyter runs in an environment (conda or virtualenv), it prefers to load configuration from the environment over each user's own configuration (e.g. in `~/.jupyter`).
+This may cause issues if you use a _shared_ conda environment or virtualenv for users, because e.g. jupyterlab may try to write information like workspaces or settings to the environment instead of the user's own directory.
+This could fail with something like `Permission denied: $PREFIX/etc/jupyter/lab`.
+
+To avoid this issue, set `JUPYTER_PREFER_ENV_PATH=0` in the user environment:
+
+```python
+c.Spawner.environment.update(
+    {
+        "JUPYTER_PREFER_ENV_PATH": "0",
+    }
+)
+```
+
+which tells Jupyter to prefer _user_ configuration paths (e.g. in `~/.jupyter`) to configuration set in the environment.
+
+### Example: Enable an extension system-wide
+
+For example, to enable the `cython` IPython extension for all of your users, create the file `/etc/ipython/ipython_config.py`:
+
+```python
+c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions.append("cython")
+```
+
+### Example: Enable a Jupyter notebook configuration setting for all users
+
+:::{note}
+These examples configure the Jupyter ServerApp, which is used by JupyterLab, the default in JupyterHub 2.0.
+
+If you are using the classing Jupyter Notebook server,
+the same things should work,
+with the following substitutions:
+
+- Search for `jupyter_server_config`, and replace with `jupyter_notebook_config`
+- Search for `NotebookApp`, and replace with `ServerApp`
+
+:::
+
+To enable Jupyter notebook's internal idle-shutdown behavior (requires notebook ≥ 5.4), set the following in the `/etc/jupyter/jupyter_server_config.py` file:
+
+```python
+# shutdown the server after no activity for an hour
+c.ServerApp.shutdown_no_activity_timeout = 60 * 60
+# shutdown kernels after no activity for 20 minutes
+c.MappingKernelManager.cull_idle_timeout = 20 * 60
+# check for idle kernels every two minutes
+c.MappingKernelManager.cull_interval = 2 * 60
+```
+
+## Installing kernelspecs
+
+You may have multiple Jupyter kernels installed and want to make sure that they are available to all of your users. This means installing kernelspecs either system-wide (e.g. in /usr/local/) or in the `sys.prefix` of JupyterHub
+itself.
+
+Jupyter kernelspec installation is system-wide by default, but some kernels
+may default to installing kernelspecs in your home directory. These will need
+to be moved system-wide to ensure that they are accessible.
+
+To see where your kernelspecs are, you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+jupyter kernelspec list
+```
+
+### Example: Installing kernels system-wide
+
+Let's assume that I have a Python 2 and Python 3 environment that I want to make sure are available, I can install their specs **system-wide** (in /usr/local) using the following command:
+
+```bash
+/path/to/python3 -m ipykernel install --prefix=/usr/local
+/path/to/python2 -m ipykernel install --prefix=/usr/local
+```
+
+## Multi-user hosts vs. Containers
+
+There are two broad categories of user environments that depend on what
+Spawner you choose:
+
+- Multi-user hosts (shared system)
+- Container-based
+
+How you configure user environments for each category can differ a bit
+depending on what Spawner you are using.
+
+The first category is a **shared system (multi-user host)** where
+each user has a JupyterHub account, a home directory as well as being
+a real system user. In this example, shared configuration and installation
+must be in a 'system-wide' location, such as `/etc/`, or `/usr/local`
+or a custom prefix such as `/opt/conda`.
+
+When JupyterHub uses **container-based** Spawners (e.g. KubeSpawner or
+DockerSpawner), the 'system-wide' environment is really the container image used for users.
+
+In both cases, you want to _avoid putting configuration in user home
+directories_ because users can change those configuration settings. Also, home directories typically persist once they are created, thereby making it difficult for admins to update later.
+
+## Named servers
+
+By default, in a JupyterHub deployment, each user has one server only.
+
+JupyterHub can, however, have multiple servers per user.
+This is mostly useful in deployments where users can configure the environment in which their server will start (e.g. resource requests on an HPC cluster), so that a given user can have multiple configurations running at the same time, without having to stop and restart their own server.
+
+To allow named servers, include this code snippet in your config file:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.allow_named_servers = True
+```
+
+Named servers were implemented in the REST API in JupyterHub 0.8,
+and JupyterHub 1.0 introduces UI for managing named servers via the user home page:
+
+![named servers on the home page](/images/named-servers-home.png)
+
+as well as the admin page:
+
+![named servers on the admin page](/images/named-servers-admin.png)
+
+Named servers can be accessed, created, started, stopped, and deleted
+from these pages. Activity tracking is now per server as well.
+
+To limit the number of **named server** per user by setting a constant value, include this code snippet in your config file:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.named_server_limit_per_user = 5
+```
+
+Alternatively, to use a callable/awaitable based on the handler object, include this code snippet in your config file:
+
+```python
+def named_server_limit_per_user_fn(handler):
+    user = handler.current_user
+    if user and user.admin:
+        return 0
+    return 5
+
+c.JupyterHub.named_server_limit_per_user = named_server_limit_per_user_fn
+```
+
+This can be useful for quota service implementations. The example above limits the number of named servers for non-admin users only.
+
+If `named_server_limit_per_user` is set to `0`, no limit is enforced.
+
+When using named servers, Spawners may need additional configuration to take the `servername` into account. Whilst `KubeSpawner` takes the `servername` into account by default in [`pod_name_template`](https://jupyterhub-kubespawner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spawner.html#kubespawner.KubeSpawner.pod_name_template), other Spawners may not. Check the documentation for the specific Spawner to see how singleuser servers are named, for example in `DockerSpawner` this involves modifying the [`name_template`](https://jupyterhub-dockerspawner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/index.html) setting to include `servername`, eg. `"{prefix}-{username}-{servername}"`.
+

+
+## Switching back to the classic notebook
+
+By default, the single-user server launches JupyterLab,
+which is based on [Jupyter Server][].
+
+This is the default server when running JupyterHub ≥ 2.0.
+To switch to using the legacy Jupyter Notebook server, you can set the `JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP` environment variable
+(in the single-user environment) to:
+
+```bash
+export JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP='notebook.notebookapp.NotebookApp'
+```

+[jupyter server]: https://jupyter-server.readthedocs.io
+[jupyter notebook]: https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io
+
+:::{versionchanged} 2.0
+
+JupyterLab is now the default single-user UI, if available,
+which is based on the [Jupyter Server][],
+no longer the legacy [Jupyter Notebook][] server.
+JupyterHub prior to 2.0 launched the legacy notebook server (`jupyter notebook`),
+and the Jupyter server could be selected by specifying the following:
+
+```python
+# jupyterhub_config.py
+c.Spawner.cmd = ["jupyter-labhub"]
+```
+
+Alternatively, for an otherwise customized Jupyter Server app,
+set the environment variable using the following command:
+
+```bash
+export JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP='jupyter_server.serverapp.ServerApp'

+# Interpreting common log messages
+
+When debugging errors and outages, looking at the logs emitted by
+JupyterHub is very helpful. This document intends to describe some common
+log messages, what they mean and what are the most common causes that generated them, as well as some possible ways to fix them.
+
+## Failing suspected API request to not-running server
+
+### Example
+
+Your logs might be littered with lines that look scary
+
+```
+[W 2022-03-10 17:25:19.774 JupyterHub base:1349] Failing suspected API request to not-running server: /hub/user/<user-name>/api/metrics/v1
+```
+
+### Cause
+
+This likely means that the user's server has stopped running but they
+still have a browser tab open. For example, you might have 3 tabs open and you shut
+the server down via one.
+Another possible reason could be that you closed your laptop and the server was culled for inactivity, then reopened the laptop!
+However, the client-side code (JupyterLab, Classic Notebook, etc) doesn't interpret the shut-down server and continues to make some API requests.
+
+JupyterHub's architecture means that the proxy routes all requests that
+don't go to a running user server to the hub process itself. The hub
+process then explicitly returns a failure response, so the client knows
+that the server is not running anymore. This is used by JupyterLab to
+inform the user that the server is not running anymore, and provide an option
+to restart it.
+
+Most commonly, you'll see this in reference to the `/api/metrics/v1`
+URL, used by [jupyter-resource-usage](https://github.com/jupyter-server/jupyter-resource-usage).
+
+### Actions you can take
+
+This log message is benign, and there is usually no action for you to take.
+
+## JupyterHub Singleuser Version mismatch
+
+### Example
+
+```
+ jupyterhub version 1.5.0 != jupyterhub-singleuser version 1.3.0. This could cause failure to authenticate and result in redirect loops!
+```
+
+### Cause
+
+JupyterHub requires the `jupyterhub` python package installed inside the image or
+environment, the user server starts in. This message indicates that the version of
+the `jupyterhub` package installed inside the user image or environment is not
+the same as the JupyterHub server's version itself. This is not necessarily always a
+problem - some version drift is mostly acceptable, and the only two known cases of
+breakage are across the 0.7 and 2.0 version releases. In those cases, issues pop
+up immediately after upgrading your version of JupyterHub, so **always check the JupyterHub
+changelog before upgrading!**. The primary problems this _could_ cause are:
+
+1. Infinite redirect loops after the user server starts
+2. Missing expected environment variables in the user server once it starts
+3. Failure for the started user server to authenticate with the JupyterHub server -
+   note that this is _not_ the same as _user authentication_ failing!
+
+However, for the most part, unless you are seeing these specific issues, the log
+message should be counted as a warning to get the `jupyterhub` package versions
+aligned, rather than as an indicator of an existing problem.
+
+### Actions you can take
+
+Upgrade the version of the `jupyterhub` package in your user environment or image
+so that it matches the version of JupyterHub running your JupyterHub server! If you
+are using the [zero-to-jupyterhub](https://z2jh.jupyter.org) helm chart, you can find the appropriate
+version of the `jupyterhub` package to install in your user image [here](https://jupyterhub.github.io/helm-chart/)

+
+# 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 documentation is
+for those who have set up their JupyterHub without using a distribution.
+
+This documentation is lengthy because it is quite detailed. Most likely, upgrading
+JupyterHub is painless, quick and with minimal user interruption.
+
+The steps are discussed in detail, so if you get stuck at any step you can always refer to this guide.
+
+## Read the Changelog
+
+The [changelog](changelog) 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 the authenticators & spawners you use, so
+read the changelogs for those too!
+
+## Notify your users
+
+If you use 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 use a different proxy or run `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 or sign in.
+
+## Backup database & config
+
+Before doing an upgrade, it is critical to back up:
+
+1. Your JupyterHub database (SQLite by default, or MySQL / Postgres if you used those).
+   If you use SQLite (the default), you should backup the `jupyterhub.sqlite` file.
+2. Your `jupyterhub_config.py` file.
+3. Your users' home directories. This is unlikely to be affected directly by
+   a JupyterHub upgrade, but we recommend a backup since user data is critical.
+
+## Shut down JupyterHub
+
+Shut down the JupyterHub process. This would vary depending on how you
+have set up JupyterHub to run. It is most likely 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:
+
+1. The _hub environment_: where the JupyterHub server process
+   runs. This is started with the `jupyterhub` command, and is what
+   people generally think of as JupyterHub.
+2. The _notebook user environments_: 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 the 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:
+
+```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:
+
+```bash
+conda install -c conda-forge jupyterhub==<version>
+```
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+jupyterhub upgrade-db
+```
+
+This should find the location of your database, and run the 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 to 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 the config file, or login using an external
+  authentication provider (Google, GitHub, LDAP, etc)
+- user servers are stopped during the upgrade
+- don't mind causing users to log in again after the upgrade
+
+## Start JupyterHub
+
+Once the database upgrade is completed, start the `jupyterhub`
+process again.
+
+1. Log in and start the server to make sure things work as
+   expected.
+2. 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!

+## Distributions
+
+JupyterHub can be used in a collaborative environment by both small (0-100 users) and
+large teams (more than 100 users) such as a class of students, corporate data science group
+or scientific research group.
+It has two main distributions which are developed to serve the needs of each of these teams respectively.
+
+1. [The Littlest JupyterHub](https://github.com/jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub) distribution is suitable if you need a small number of users (1-100) and a single server with a simple environment.
+2. [Zero to JupyterHub with Kubernetes](https://github.com/jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s) allows you to deploy dynamic servers on the cloud if you need even more users.
+   This distribution runs JupyterHub on top of [Kubernetes](https://k8s.io).
+
+```{note}
+It is important to evaluate these distributions before you can continue with the
+configuration of JupyterHub.
+```
+
+## Subsystems
+
+JupyterHub is made up of four subsystems:
+
+- 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
+
+Additionally, optional configurations can be added through a `config.py` file and manage users
+kernels on an admin panel. A simplification of the whole system is displayed in the figure below:
+
+```{image} images/jhub-fluxogram.jpeg
+:align: center
+:alt: JupyterHub subsystems
+:width: 80%
+```
+
+JupyterHub performs the following functions:
+
+- The Hub launches 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 {doc}`REST API <reference/rest-api>`.

-`JupyterHub`_ is the best way to serve `Jupyter notebook`_ for multiple users.
-It can be used in a class of students, a corporate data science group or scientific

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

-
-1. If you need a simple case for a small amount of users (0-100) and single server
-   take a look at
-   `The Littlest JupyterHub <https://github.com/jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub>`__ distribution.
-2. If you need to allow for even more users, a dynamic amount of servers can be used on a cloud,
-   take a look at the `Zero to JupyterHub with Kubernetes <https://github.com/jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s>`__ .
