Jupyter Notebooks on Oscar
The anaconda modules provide jupyter-notebook. Users can also use pip or anaconda to install jupyter notebook.
- using a batch job
- in an interactive session
With the batch job or interactive session method, you use a browser on your machine to connect to your Jupyter Notebook server on Oscar.
Start by going to the directory you want to access when using Jupyter Notebook, and then start Jupyter Notebook. The directory where a Jupyter Notebook is started is the working directory for the Notebook.
Do not run Jupyter Notebook on login nodes.
Start an OOD Desktop App (VNC) session, and open up a terminal in the VNC session. To start a Jupyter Notebook, enter
jupyter-notebook
This will start the Jupyter Notebook server and open up a browser with the notebook.
If you installed Jupyter Notebook with pip, you may need to give the full path:
~/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook- 1.Submit an ssh tunnel to the server.
- 2.Set up an ssh tunnel to the server.
- 3.Open a browser to view the notebook.
- 4.Use
scancelto end the batch job when you are done.
Here is an example batch script to start a Jupyter notebook server on an Oscar compute node
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes 1
#SBATCH -c 6
#SBATCH --time 04:00:00
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu 3G
#SBATCH --job-name tunnel
#SBATCH --output jupyter-log-%J.txt
## get tunneling info
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=""
ipnport=$(shuf -i8000-9999 -n1)
ipnip=$(hostname -i)
## print tunneling instructions to jupyter-log-{jobid}.txt
echo -e "
Copy/Paste this in your local terminal to ssh tunnel with remote
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ssh -N -L $ipnport:$ipnip:$ipnport [email protected]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then open a browser on your local machine to the following address
------------------------------------------------------------------
localhost:$ipnport (prefix w/ https:// if using password)
------------------------------------------------------------------
"
## start an ipcluster instance and launch jupyter server
module load anaconda/3-5.2.0
jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port=$ipnport --ip=$ipnip
If you installed Jupyter notebook with pip you may need to give the full path:
~/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port-$ipnport --ip=$ipnipThis script can be found in ~/batch_scripts. Copy this example and submit this script with
sbatch jupyter.shOnce your batch job is running there will be a file named
jupyter-log-{jobid}.txtcontaining the information you need to connect to your jupyter notebook server on Oscar. To check if your job is running, use myq.The output from
myq will look something like this:Jobs for user mhamilton
Running:
ID NAME PART. QOS CPU WALLTIME REMAIN NODES
7239096 tunnel batch pri-mhamilt 6 4:00:00 3:57:33 node1036
Pending:
(none)
In this example the jobID is 7239096. To view the notebook server information, use
cat. For this example:cat jupyter-log-7239096.txtOpen a terminal on your machine and copy and paste the
ssh -N -L ........ line into the terminal. ssh -N -L $ipnport:$ipnip:$ipnport [email protected]
If you are using Windows, follow the Tunneling into Jupyter with Windows documentation to complete this step.
Enter your Oscar password. Note it will appear that nothing has happened.
Open a browser on your local machine to the address given in
cat jupyter-log-{jobid}.txt.localhost:9349 (prefix w/ https:// if using password)
The notebook will ask for a token. Copy the token from
jupyter-log-{jobid}.txt. Then your notebook will start.Remember to
scancel {jobid} when you are done with your notebook session.- 1.Start Jupyter Notebook in an interactive job.
- 2.Set up an ssh tunnel to the server.
- 3.Open a browser to view the notebook.
- 4.Use
scancelto end the batch job when you are done.
unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
module load anaconda/3-5.2.0
ipnport=$(shuf -i8000-9999 -n1)
echo $ipnport
ipnip=$(hostname -i)
echo $ipnip
jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port=$ipnport --ip=$ipnip
An output similar to the one below indicates that Jupyter Notebook has started:
$ jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port=$ipnport --ip=$ipnip[I 13:35:25.948 NotebookApp] JupyterLab beta preview extension loaded from /gpfs/runtime/opt/anaconda/3-5.2.0/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyterlab[I 13:35:25.948 NotebookApp] JupyterLab application directory is /gpfs/runtime/opt/anaconda/3-5.2.0/share/jupyter/lab[I 13:35:25.975 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /gpfs_home/yliu385[I 13:35:25.975 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels[I 13:35:25.975 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at:[I 13:35:25.975 NotebookApp] http://172.20.207.61:8855/?token=c58d7877cfcf1547dd8e6153123568f58dc6d5ce3f4c9d98[I 13:35:25.975 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).[C 13:35:25.994 NotebookApp]Copy/paste this URL into your browser when you connect for the first time,to login with a token:http://172.20.207.61:8855/?token=c58d7877cfcf1547dd8e6153123568f58dc6d5ce3f4c9d98&token=c58d7877cfcf1547dd8e6153123568f58dc6d5ce3f4c9d98
Open a terminal on your machine and enter the following line (replace $ipnip and $ipnport with the values from the two
echo commands in the previous step). ssh -N -L $ipnport:$ipnip:$ipnport [email protected]
If you are using Windows, follow the Tunneling into Jupyter with Windows documentation to complete this step.
Enter your Oscar password. Note it will appear that nothing has happened.
Open a browser on your local machine to the address:
localhost:$ipnport (prefix w/ https:// if using password)
Again, you need to replace
$ipnport with the value from the first echo command in Step 1. The notebook will ask for a token. You can copy the token from the output from Step 2.Once you finish and no longer need the Jupyter Notebook server, you can kill the server by pressing Ctrl+C twice in your interactive session.
