JupyterHub
==========
`JupyterHub`_ is the best way to serve `Jupyter notebook`_ for multiple users.
It can be used in a classes of students, a corporate data science group or scientific
research group. It is a multi-user **Hub** that spawns, manages, and proxies multiple
instances of the single-user `Jupyter notebook`_ server.
To make life easier, JupyterHub have distributions. Be sure to
take a look at them before continuing with the configuration of the broad
original system of `JupyterHub`_. Today, you can find two main cases:
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>`__ .
Four subsystems make up JupyterHub:
* a **Hub** (tornado process) that is the heart of JupyterHub
* a **configurable http proxy** (node-http-proxy) that receives the requests from the client's browser
* multiple **single-user Jupyter notebook servers** (Python/IPython/tornado) that are monitored by Spawners
* an **authentication class** that manages how users can access the system
Besides these central pieces, you can add optional configurations through a `config.py` file and manage users kernels on an admin panel. A simplification of the whole system can be seen in the figure below:

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 `REST API`_.
The JupyterHub team and Project Jupyter value our community, and JupyterHub
follows the Jupyter [Community Guides](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/community/content-community.html).
