JupyterHub
==========
With JupyterHub you can create a **multi-user Hub** which spawns, manages,
and proxies multiple instances of the single-user
`Jupyter notebook <https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ server.
Due to its flexibility and customization options, JupyterHub can be used to
serve notebooks to a class of students, a corporate data science group, or a
scientific research group.

Three subsystems make up JupyterHub:
* a multi-user **Hub** (tornado process)
* a **configurable http proxy** (node-http-proxy)
* multiple **single-user Jupyter notebook servers** (Python/IPython/tornado)
JupyterHub's basic flow of operations includes:
- The Hub spawns a proxy
- The proxy forwards all requests to the Hub by default
- The Hub handles user login and spawns single-user servers on demand
- The Hub configures the proxy to forward URL prefixes to the single-user notebook servers
For convenient administration of the Hub, its users, and :doc:`services`
(added in version 7.0), JupyterHub also provides a
`REST API <http://petstore.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/master/docs/rest-api.yml#!/default>`__.
