3.0#

3.0.0 - 2022-09-08#

3.0 is a major upgrade, but a small one.

It qualifies as a major upgrade because of two changes:

  1. It includes a database schema change (jupyterhub --upgrade-db). The schema change should not be disruptive, but we’ve decided that any schema change qualifies as a major version upgrade.

  2. We’ve dropped support for Python 3.6, which reached End-of-Life in 2021. If you are using at least Python 3.7, this change should have no effect.

The database schema change is small and should not be disruptive, but downgrading is always harder than upgrading after a db migration, which makes rolling back the update more likely to be problematic.

Changes in RBAC#

The biggest changes in 3.0 relate to JupyterHub RBAC, which also means they shouldn’t affect most users. The users most affected will be JupyterHub admins using JupyterHub roles extensively to define user permissions.

After testing 2.0 in the wild, we learned that we had used roles in a few places that should have been scopes. Specifically, OAuth tokens now have scopes instead of roles (and token-issuing oauth clients now have allowed_scopes instead of allowed_roles). The consequences should be fairly transparent to users, but anyone who ran into the restrictions of roles in the oauth process should find scopes easier to work with. We tried not to break anything here, so any prior use of roles will still work with a deprecation, but the role will be resolved immediately at token-issue time, rather than every time the token is used.

This especially came up testing the new Custom scopes feature. Authors of JupyterHub-authenticated services can now extend JupyterHub’s RBAC functionality to define their own scopes, and assign them to users and groups via roles. This can be used to e.g. limit student/grader/instructor permissions in a grading service, or grant instructors read-only access to their students’ single-user servers starting with upcoming Jupyter Server 2.0.

Further extending granular control of permissions, we have added !service and !server filters for scopes (:ref:self-referencing-filters), like we had for !user.

Access to the admin UI is now governed by a dedicated admin-ui scope, rather than combined admin:servers and admin:users in 2.0. More info in ref{available-scopes-target}.

More highlights#

  • The admin UI can now show more detailed info about users and their servers in a drop-down details table:

    Details view in admin UI

  • Several bugfixes and improvements in the new admin UI.

  • Direct access to the Hub’s database is deprecated. We intend to change the database connection lifecycle in the future to enable scalability and high-availability (HA), and limiting where connections and transactions can occur is an important part of making that possible.

  • Lots more bugfixes and error-handling improvements.

2.1.0 2022-01-21#

2.1.0 is a small bugfix release, resolving regressions in 2.0 and further refinements. In particular, the authenticated prometheus metrics endpoint did not work in 2.0 because it lacked a scope. To access the authenticated metrics endpoint with a token, upgrade to 2.1 and make sure the token/owner has the read:metrics scope.

Custom error messages for failed spawns are now handled more consistently on the spawn-progress API and the spawn-failed HTML page. Previously, spawn-progress did not relay the custom message provided by exception.jupyterhub_message, and full HTML messages in exception.jupyterhub_html_message can now be displayed in both contexts.

The long-deprecated, inconsistent behavior when users visited a URL for another user’s server, where they could sometimes be redirected back to their own server, has been removed in favor of consistent behavior based on the user’s permissions. To share a URL that will take any user to their own server, use https://my.hub/hub/user-redirect/path/....

2.0.0#

JupyterHub 2.0 is a big release!

The most significant change is the addition of roles and scopes to the JupyterHub permissions model, allowing more fine-grained access control. Read more about it in the docs.

In particular, the ‘admin’ level of permissions should not be needed anymore, and you can now grant users and services only the permissions they need, not more. We encourage you to review permissions, especially any service or user with admin: true and consider assigning only the necessary roles and scopes.

JupyterHub 2.0 requires an update to the database schema, so make sure to read the upgrade documentation and backup your database before upgrading.

stop all servers before upgrading

Upgrading JupyterHub to 2.0 revokes all tokens issued before the upgrade, which means that single-user servers started before the upgrade will become inaccessible after the upgrade until they have been stopped and started again. To avoid this, it is best to shutdown all servers prior to the upgrade.

Other major changes that may require updates to your deployment, depending on what features you use:

  • List endpoints now support pagination, and have a max page size, which means API consumers must be updated to make paginated requests if you have a lot of users and/or groups.

  • Spawners have stopped specifying any command-line options to spawners by default. Previously, --ip and --port could be specified on the command-line. From 2.0 forward, JupyterHub will only communicate options to Spawners via environment variables, and the command to be launched is configured exclusively via Spawner.cmd and Spawner.args.

Other new features:

  • new Admin page, written in React. With RBAC, it should now be fully possible to implement a custom admin panel as a service via the REST API.

  • JupyterLab is the default UI for single-user servers, if available in the user environment. See more info in the docs about switching back to the classic notebook, if you are not ready to switch to JupyterLab.

  • NullAuthenticator is now bundled with JupyterHub, so you no longer need to install the nullauthenticator package to disable login, you can set c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'null'.

  • Support jupyterhub --show-config option to see your current jupyterhub configuration.

  • Add expiration date dropdown to Token page

and major bug fixes:

  • Improve database rollback recovery on broken connections

and other changes:

  • Requests to a not-running server (e.g. visiting /user/someuser/) will return an HTTP 424 error instead of 503, making it easier to monitor for real deployment problems. JupyterLab in the user environment should be at least version 3.1.16 to recognize this error code as a stopped server. You can temporarily opt-in to the older behavior (e.g. if older JupyterLab is required) by setting c.JupyterHub.use_legacy_stopped_server_status_code = True.

Plus lots of little fixes along the way.

1.4#

JupyterHub 1.4 is a small release, with several enhancements, bug fixes, and new configuration options.

There are no database schema changes requiring migration from 1.3 to 1.4.

1.4 is also the first version to start publishing docker images for arm64.

In particular, OAuth tokens stored in user cookies, used for accessing single-user servers and hub-authenticated services, have changed their expiration from one hour to the expiry of the cookie in which they are stored (default: two weeks). This is now also configurable via JupyterHub.oauth_token_expires_in.

The result is that it should be much less likely for auth tokens stored in cookies to expire during the lifetime of a server.

1.2.0 2020-10-29#

JupyterHub 1.2 is an incremental release with lots of small improvements. It is unlikely that users will have to change much to upgrade, but lots of new things are possible and/or better!

There are no database schema changes requiring migration from 1.1 to 1.2.

Highlights:

  • Deprecate black/whitelist configuration fields in favor of more inclusive blocked/allowed language. For example: c.Authenticator.allowed_users = {'user', ...}

  • More configuration of page templates and service display

  • Pagination of the admin page improving performance with large numbers of users

  • Improved control of user redirect

  • Support for jupyter-server-based single-user servers, such as Voilà and latest JupyterLab.

1.1#

1.1.0 2020-01-17#

1.1 is a release with lots of accumulated fixes and improvements, especially in performance, metrics, and customization. There are no database changes in 1.1, so no database upgrade is required when upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1.

Of particular interest to deployments with automatic health checking and/or large numbers of users is that the slow startup time introduced in 1.0 by additional spawner validation can now be mitigated by JupyterHub.init_spawners_timeout, allowing the Hub to become responsive before the spawners may have finished validating.

Several new Prometheus metrics are added (and others fixed!) to measure sources of common performance issues, such as proxy interactions and startup.

1.1 also begins adoption of the Jupyter telemetry project in JupyterHub, See The Jupyter Telemetry docs for more info. The only events so far are starting and stopping servers, but more will be added in future releases.

There are many more fixes and improvements listed below. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release!

Maintenance#

1.0#

1.0.0 2019-05-03#

JupyterHub 1.0 is a major milestone for JupyterHub. Huge thanks to the many people who have contributed to this release, whether it was through discussion, testing, documentation, or development.

Major new features#

  • Support TLS encryption and authentication of all internal communication. Spawners must implement .move_certs method to make certificates available to the notebook server if it is not local to the Hub.

  • There is now full UI support for managing named servers. With named servers, each jupyterhub user may have access to more than one named server. For example, a professor may access a server named research and another named teaching.

    named servers on the home page

  • Authenticators can now expire and refresh authentication data by implementing Authenticator.refresh_user(user). This allows things like OAuth data and access tokens to be refreshed. When used together with Authenticator.refresh_pre_spawn = True, auth refresh can be forced prior to Spawn, allowing the Authenticator to require that authentication data is fresh immediately before the user’s server is launched.

See also

New features#

  • allow custom spawners, authenticators, and proxies to register themselves via ‘entry points’, enabling more convenient configuration such as:

    c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'github'
c.JupyterHub.spawner_class = 'docker'
c.JupyterHub.proxy_class = 'traefik_etcd'

  • Spawners are passed the tornado Handler object that requested their spawn (as self.handler), so they can do things like make decisions based on query arguments in the request.

  • SimpleSpawner and DummyAuthenticator, which are useful for testing, have been merged into JupyterHub itself:

    # For testing purposes only. Should not be used in production.
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'dummy'
c.JupyterHub.spawner_class = 'simple'

    These classes are not appropriate for production use. Only testing.

  • Add health check endpoint at /hub/health

  • Several prometheus metrics have been added (thanks to Outreachy applicants!)

  • A new API for registering user activity. To prepare for the addition of alternate proxy implementations, responsibility for tracking activity is taken away from the proxy and moved to the notebook server (which already has activity tracking features). Activity is now tracked by pushing it to the Hub from user servers instead of polling the proxy API.

  • Dynamic options_form callables may now return an empty string which will result in no options form being rendered.

  • Spawner.user_options is persisted to the database to be re-used, so that a server spawned once via the form can be re-spawned via the API with the same options.

  • Added c.PAMAuthenticator.pam_normalize_username option for round-tripping usernames through PAM to retrieve the normalized form.

  • Added c.JupyterHub.named_server_limit_per_user configuration to limit the number of named servers each user can have. The default is 0, for no limit.

  • API requests to HubAuthenticated services (e.g. single-user servers) may pass a token in the Authorization header, matching authentication with the Hub API itself.

  • Added Authenticator.is_admin(handler, authentication) method and Authenticator.admin_groups configuration for automatically determining that a member of a group should be considered an admin.

  • New c.Authenticator.post_auth_hook configuration that can be any callable of the form async def hook(authenticator, handler, authentication=None):. This hook may transform the return value of Authenticator.authenticate() and return a new authentication dictionary, e.g. specifying admin privileges, group membership, or custom allowed/blocked logic. This hook is called after existing normalization and allowed-username checking.

  • Spawner.options_from_form may now be async

  • Added JupyterHub.shutdown_on_logout option to trigger shutdown of a user’s servers when they log out.

  • When Spawner.start raises an Exception, a message can be passed on to the user if the exception has a .jupyterhub_message attribute.

Changes#

  • Authentication methods such as check_whitelist should now take an additional authentication argument that will be a dictionary (default: None) of authentication data, as returned by Authenticator.authenticate():

    def check_whitelist(self, username, authentication=None):
    ...

    authentication should have a default value of None for backward-compatibility with jupyterhub < 1.0.

  • Prometheus metrics page is now authenticated. Any authenticated user may see the prometheus metrics. To disable prometheus authentication, set JupyterHub.authenticate_prometheus = False.

  • Visits to /user/:name no longer trigger an implicit launch of the user’s server. Instead, a page is shown indicating that the server is not running with a link to request the spawn.

  • API requests to /user/:name for a not-running server will have status 503 instead of 404.

  • OAuth includes a confirmation page when attempting to visit another user’s server, so that users can choose to cancel authentication with the single-user server. Confirmation is still skipped when accessing your own server.

Fixed#

  • Various fixes to improve Windows compatibility (default Authenticator and Spawner still do not support Windows, but other Spawners may)

  • Fixed compatibility with Oracle db

  • Fewer redirects following a visit to the default / url

  • Error when progress is requested before progress is ready

  • Error when API requests are made to a not-running server without authentication

  • Avoid logging database password on connect if password is specified in JupyterHub.db_url.

Development changes#

There have been several changes to the development process that shouldn’t generally affect users of JupyterHub, but may affect contributors. In general, see CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution info or ask if you have questions.

  • JupyterHub has adopted black as a code autoformatter and pre-commit as a tool for automatically running code formatting on commit. This is meant to make it easier to contribute to JupyterHub, so let us know if it’s having the opposite effect.

  • JupyterHub has switched its test suite to using pytest-asyncio from pytest-tornado.

  • OAuth is now implemented internally using oauthlib instead of python-oauth2. This should have no effect on behavior.

0.9#

0.9.6 2019-04-01#

JupyterHub 0.9.6 is a security release.

  • Fixes an Open Redirect vulnerability (CVE-2019-10255).

JupyterHub 0.9.5 included a partial fix for this issue.

0.9.4 2018-09-24#

JupyterHub 0.9.4 is a small bugfix release.

  • Fixes an issue that required all running user servers to be restarted when performing an upgrade from 0.8 to 0.9.

  • Fixes content-type for API endpoints back to application/json. It was text/html in 0.9.0-0.9.3.

0.9.3 2018-09-12#

JupyterHub 0.9.3 contains small bugfixes and improvements

  • Fix token page and model handling of expires_at. This field was missing from the REST API model for tokens and could cause the token page to not render

  • Add keep-alive to progress event stream to avoid proxies dropping the connection due to inactivity

  • Documentation and example improvements

  • Disable quit button when using notebook 5.6

  • Prototype new feature (may change prior to 1.0): pass requesting Handler to Spawners during start, accessible as self.handler

0.9.2 2018-08-10#

JupyterHub 0.9.2 contains small bugfixes and improvements.

  • Documentation and example improvements

  • Add Spawner.consecutive_failure_limit config for aborting the Hub if too many spawns fail in a row.

  • Fix for handling SIGTERM when run with asyncio (tornado 5)

  • Windows compatibility fixes

0.9.1 2018-07-04#

JupyterHub 0.9.1 contains a number of small bugfixes on top of 0.9.

  • Use a PID file for the proxy to decrease the likelihood that a leftover proxy process will prevent JupyterHub from restarting

  • c.LocalProcessSpawner.shell_cmd is now configurable

  • API requests to stopped servers (requests to the hub for /user/:name/api/...) fail with 404 rather than triggering a restart of the server

  • Compatibility fix for notebook 5.6.0 which will introduce further security checks for local connections

  • Managed services always use localhost to talk to the Hub if the Hub listening on all interfaces

  • When using a URL prefix, the Hub route will be JupyterHub.base_url instead of unconditionally /

  • additional fixes and improvements

0.9.0 2018-06-15#

JupyterHub 0.9 is a major upgrade of JupyterHub. There are several changes to the database schema, so make sure to backup your database and run:

jupyterhub upgrade-db

after upgrading jupyterhub.

The biggest change for 0.9 is the switch to asyncio coroutines everywhere instead of tornado coroutines. Custom Spawners and Authenticators are still free to use tornado coroutines for async methods, as they will continue to work. As part of this upgrade, JupyterHub 0.9 drops support for Python < 3.5 and tornado < 5.0.

Changed#

  • Require Python >= 3.5

  • Require tornado >= 5.0

  • Use asyncio coroutines throughout

  • Set status 409 for conflicting actions instead of 400, e.g. creating users or groups that already exist.

  • timestamps in REST API continue to be UTC, but now include ‘Z’ suffix to identify them as such.

  • REST API User model always includes servers dict, not just when named servers are enabled.

  • server info is no longer available to oauth identification endpoints, only user info and group membership.

  • User.last_activity may be None if a user has not been seen, rather than starting with the user creation time which is now separately stored as User.created.

  • static resources are now found in $PREFIX/share/jupyterhub instead of share/jupyter/hub for improved consistency.

  • Deprecate .extra_log_file config. Use pipe redirection instead:

    jupyterhub &>> /var/log/jupyterhub.log

  • Add JupyterHub.bind_url config for setting the full bind URL of the proxy. Sets ip, port, base_url all at once.

  • Add JupyterHub.hub_bind_url for setting the full host+port of the Hub. hub_bind_url supports unix domain sockets, e.g. unix+http://%2Fsrv%2Fjupyterhub.sock

  • Deprecate JupyterHub.hub_connect_port config in favor of JupyterHub.hub_connect_url. hub_connect_ip is not deprecated and can still be used in the common case where only the ip address of the hub differs from the bind ip.

Added#

  • Spawners can define a .progress method which should be an async generator. The generator should yield events of the form:

    {
  "message": "some-state-message",
  "progress": 50,
}

    These messages will be shown with a progress bar on the spawn-pending page. The async_generator package can be used to make async generators compatible with Python 3.5.

  • track activity of individual API tokens

  • new REST API for managing API tokens at /hub/api/user/tokens[/token-id]

  • allow viewing/revoking tokens via token page

  • User creation time is available in the REST API as User.created

  • Server start time is stored as Server.started

  • Spawner.start may return a URL for connecting to a notebook instead of (ip, port). This enables Spawners to launch servers that setup their own HTTPS.

  • Optimize database performance by disabling sqlalchemy expire_on_commit by default.

  • Add python -m jupyterhub.dbutil shell entrypoint for quickly launching an IPython session connected to your JupyterHub database.

  • Include User.auth_state in user model on single-user REST endpoints for admins only.

  • Include Server.state in server model on REST endpoints for admins only.

  • Add Authenticator.blacklist for blocking users instead of allowing.

  • Pass c.JupyterHub.tornado_settings['cookie_options'] down to Spawners so that cookie options (e.g. expires_days) can be set globally for the whole application.

  • SIGINFO (ctrl-t) handler showing the current status of all running threads, coroutines, and CPU/memory/FD consumption.

  • Add async Spawner.get_options_form alternative to .options_form, so it can be a coroutine.

  • Add JupyterHub.redirect_to_server config to govern whether users should be sent to their server on login or the JupyterHub home page.

  • html page templates can be more easily customized and extended.

  • Allow registering external OAuth clients for using the Hub as an OAuth provider.

  • Add basic prometheus metrics at /hub/metrics endpoint.

  • Add session-id cookie, enabling immediate revocation of login tokens.

  • Authenticators may specify that users are admins by specifying the admin key when return the user model as a dict.

  • Added “Start All” button to admin page for launching all user servers at once.

  • Services have an info field which is a dictionary. This is accessible via the REST API.

  • JupyterHub.extra_handlers allows defining additional tornado RequestHandlers attached to the Hub.

  • API tokens may now expire. Expiry is available in the REST model as expires_at, and settable when creating API tokens by specifying expires_in.

Fixed#

  • Remove green from theme to improve accessibility

  • Fix error when proxy deletion fails due to route already being deleted

  • clear ?redirects from URL on successful launch

  • disable send2trash by default, which is rarely desirable for jupyterhub

  • Put PAM calls in a thread so they don’t block the main application in cases where PAM is slow (e.g. LDAP).

  • Remove implicit spawn from login handler, instead relying on subsequent request for /user/:name to trigger spawn.

  • Fixed several inconsistencies for initial redirects, depending on whether server is running or not and whether the user is logged in or not.

  • Admin requests for /user/:name (when admin-access is enabled) launch the right server if it’s not running instead of redirecting to their own.

  • Major performance improvement starting up JupyterHub with many users, especially when most are inactive.

  • Various fixes in race conditions and performance improvements with the default proxy.

  • Fixes for CORS headers

  • Stop setting .form-control on spawner form inputs unconditionally.

  • Better recovery from database errors and database connection issues without having to restart the Hub.

  • Fix handling of ~ character in usernames.

  • Fix jupyterhub startup when getpass.getuser() would fail, e.g. due to missing entry in passwd file in containers.

0.8#

0.8.1 2017-11-07#

JupyterHub 0.8.1 is a collection of bugfixes and small improvements on 0.8.

Added#

  • Run tornado with AsyncIO by default

  • Add jupyterhub --upgrade-db flag for automatically upgrading the database as part of startup. This is useful for cases where manually running jupyterhub upgrade-db as a separate step is unwieldy.

  • Avoid creating backups of the database when no changes are to be made by jupyterhub upgrade-db.

Fixed#

  • Add some further validation to usernames - / is not allowed in usernames.

  • Fix empty logout page when using auto_login

  • Fix autofill of username field in default login form.

  • Fix listing of users on the admin page who have not yet started their server.

  • Fix ever-growing traceback when re-raising Exceptions from spawn failures.

  • Remove use of deprecated bower for javascript client dependencies.

0.8.0 2017-10-03#

JupyterHub 0.8 is a big release!

Perhaps the biggest change is the use of OAuth to negotiate authentication between the Hub and single-user services. Due to this change, it is important that the single-user server and Hub are both running the same version of JupyterHub. If you are using containers (e.g. via DockerSpawner or KubeSpawner), this means upgrading jupyterhub in your user images at the same time as the Hub. In most cases, a

pip install jupyterhub==version

in your Dockerfile is sufficient.

Added#

  • JupyterHub now defined a Proxy API for custom proxy implementations other than the default. The defaults are unchanged, but configuration of the proxy is now done on the ConfigurableHTTPProxy class instead of the top-level JupyterHub. TODO: docs for writing a custom proxy.

  • Single-user servers and services (anything that uses HubAuth) can now accept token-authenticated requests via the Authentication header.

  • Authenticators can now store state in the Hub’s database. To do so, the authenticate method should return a dict of the form

    {
    'username': 'name',
    'state': {}
}

    This data will be encrypted and requires JUPYTERHUB_CRYPT_KEY environment variable to be set and the Authenticator.enable_auth_state flag to be True. If these are not set, auth_state returned by the Authenticator will not be stored.

  • There is preliminary support for multiple (named) servers per user in the REST API. Named servers can be created via API requests, but there is currently no UI for managing them.

  • Add LocalProcessSpawner.popen_kwargs and LocalProcessSpawner.shell_cmd for customizing how user server processes are launched.

  • Add Authenticator.auto_login flag for skipping the “Login with…” page explicitly.

  • Add JupyterHub.hub_connect_ip configuration for the ip that should be used when connecting to the Hub. This is promoting (and deprecating) DockerSpawner.hub_ip_connect for use by all Spawners.

  • Add Spawner.pre_spawn_hook(spawner) hook for customizing pre-spawn events.

  • Add JupyterHub.active_server_limit and JupyterHub.concurrent_spawn_limit for limiting the total number of running user servers and the number of pending spawns, respectively.

Changed#

  • more arguments to spawners are now passed via environment variables (.get_env()) rather than CLI arguments (.get_args())

  • internally generated tokens no longer get extra hash rounds, significantly speeding up authentication. The hash rounds were deemed unnecessary because the tokens were already generated with high entropy.

  • JUPYTERHUB_API_TOKEN env is available at all times, rather than being removed during single-user start. The token is now accessible to kernel processes, enabling user kernels to make authenticated API requests to Hub-authenticated services.

  • Cookie secrets should be 32B hex instead of large base64 secrets.

  • pycurl is used by default, if available.

Fixed#

So many things fixed!

  • Collisions are checked when users are renamed

  • Fix bug where OAuth authenticators could not logout users due to being redirected right back through the login process.

  • If there are errors loading your config files, JupyterHub will refuse to start with an informative error. Previously, the bad config would be ignored and JupyterHub would launch with default configuration.

  • Raise 403 error on unauthorized user rather than redirect to login, which could cause redirect loop.

  • Set httponly on cookies because it’s prudent.

  • Improve support for MySQL as the database backend

  • Many race conditions and performance problems under heavy load have been fixed.

  • Fix alembic tagging of database schema versions.

Removed#

  • End support for Python 3.3

0.7#

0.7.2 - 2017-01-09#

Added#

  • Support service environment variables and defaults in jupyterhub-singleuser for easier deployment of notebook servers as a Service.

  • Add --group parameter for deploying jupyterhub-singleuser as a Service with group authentication.

  • Include URL parameters when redirecting through /user-redirect/

Fixed#

  • Fix group authentication for HubAuthenticated services

0.7.1 - 2017-01-02#

Added#

  • Spawner.will_resume for signaling that a single-user server is paused instead of stopped. This is needed for cases like DockerSpawner.remove_containers = False, where the first API token is re-used for subsequent spawns.

  • Warning on startup about single-character usernames, caused by common set('string') typo in config.

Fixed#

  • Removed spurious warning about empty next_url, which is AOK.

0.7.0 - 2016-12-2#

Added#

  • Implement Services API #705

  • Add /api/ and /api/info endpoints #675

  • Add documentation for JupyterLab, pySpark configuration, troubleshooting, and more.

  • Add logging of error if adding users already in database. #689

  • Add HubAuth class for authenticating with JupyterHub. This class can be used by any application, even outside tornado.

  • Add user groups.

  • Add /hub/user-redirect/... URL for redirecting users to a file on their own server.

Changed#

  • Always install with setuptools but not eggs (effectively require pip install .) #722

  • Updated formatting of changelog. #711

  • Single-user server is provided by JupyterHub package, so single-user servers depend on JupyterHub now.

Fixed#

  • Fix docker repository location #719

  • Fix swagger spec conformance and timestamp type in API spec

  • Various redirect-loop-causing bugs have been fixed.

Removed#

  • Deprecate --no-ssl command line option. It has no meaning and warns if used. #789

  • Deprecate %U username substitution in favor of {username}. #748

  • Removed deprecated SwarmSpawner link. #699

0.6#

0.6.1 - 2016-05-04#

Bugfixes on 0.6:

  • statsd is an optional dependency, only needed if in use

  • Notice more quickly when servers have crashed

  • Better error pages for proxy errors

  • Add Stop All button to admin panel for stopping all servers at once

0.6.0 - 2016-04-25#

  • JupyterHub has moved to a new jupyterhub namespace on GitHub and Docker. What was jupyter/jupyterhub is now jupyterhub/jupyterhub, etc.

  • jupyterhub/jupyterhub image on DockerHub no longer loads the jupyterhub_config.py in an ONBUILD step. A new jupyterhub/jupyterhub-onbuild image does this

  • Add statsd support, via c.JupyterHub.statsd_{host,port,prefix}

  • Update to traitlets 4.1 @default, @observe APIs for traits

  • Allow disabling PAM sessions via c.PAMAuthenticator.open_sessions = False. This may be needed on SELinux-enabled systems, where our PAM session logic often does not work properly

  • Add Spawner.environment configurable, for defining extra environment variables to load for single-user servers

  • JupyterHub API tokens can be pregenerated and loaded via JupyterHub.api_tokens, a dict of token: username.

  • JupyterHub API tokens can be requested via the REST API, with a POST request to /api/authorizations/token. This can only be used if the Authenticator has a username and password.

  • Various fixes for user URLs and redirects

0.5 - 2016-03-07#

  • Single-user server must be run with Jupyter Notebook ≥ 4.0

  • Require --no-ssl confirmation to allow the Hub to be run without SSL (e.g. behind SSL termination in nginx)

  • Add lengths to text fields for MySQL support

  • Add Spawner.disable_user_config for preventing user-owned configuration from modifying single-user servers.

  • Fixes for MySQL support.

  • Add ability to run each user’s server on its own subdomain. Requires wildcard DNS and wildcard SSL to be feasible. Enable subdomains by setting JupyterHub.subdomain_host = 'https://jupyterhub.domain.tld[:port]'.

  • Use 127.0.0.1 for local communication instead of localhost, avoiding issues with DNS on some systems.

  • Fix race that could add users to proxy prematurely if spawning is slow.

0.4#

0.4.1 - 2016-02-03#

Fix removal of /login page in 0.4.0, breaking some OAuth providers.
