This extension simply turns Jupyterhub into Jupyterlab with multiple configurations identified by arbitrarily chosen names. Other things such as base directory and password are still shared.
My lab used to share a single instance of Jupyterlab on a single Unix account. The problem was that the Jupyterlab session and configuration were also shared between the members. This extension enables the separation of them by arbitrarily chosen names.
Install user-wide Jupyterhub along with Jupyterlab (or Notebook).
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab jupyterhubClone this repository and run pip install -e .
In Jupyterhub configuration file:
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = "shareduser.SUAuthenticator"
c.SUAuthenticator.password_hash = "$argon2id$v=19$m=102400,t=2,p=..." # generated by argon2
c.JupyterHub.spawner_class = "shareduser.SUSpawner"
c.Spawner.default_url = "/lab"
