jupyterhub-nomad-spawner 0.4.0

A JupyterHub Spawner that launches isolated notebooks as job

Nomad Jupyter Spawner

[!WARNING] This project is currently in beta

A Jupyterhub plugin to spawn single-user notebook servers via Nomad. The project provides templates to allow users to influence how their servers are spawned (see the showcase and recipes for more details.).

After login users can select an image, resources and connect it with volumes (csi / host)

pip install jupyterhub-nomad-spawner

Recipes

By default the jupyterhub-nomad-spawner allows users to customize the notebook servers image, the datacenters to spawn in, as well as the memory and volume type for the allocation. While these options are sufficient in most cases, jupyterhub operators may wish to customize the spawner's behavior and/or restrict the notebook users customization.

• using a custom job spec

  # must be available to your hub server
  c.NomadSpawner.job_template_path = "/etc/jupyterhub/custom-job-template.hcl.j2"
  

• disabling user options

  # skips the options dialogue, which is used to populate `NomadSpawner.user_options`
  # therefore you would also have to overwrite the default `job_factory``
  c.NomadSpawner.options_form = ""
  

• using a custom job factory

  from jupyterhub_nomad_spawner.spawner import NomadSpawner
  from jupyterhub_nomad_spawner.job_factory import (
    JobData,
    create_job,
    )
  
  
  class CustomNomadSpawner(NomadSpawner):
    async def job_factory(self, _) -> str:
        return create_job(
            job_data=JobData(
                job_name=self.job_name,
                username=self.user.name,
                notebook_name=self.name,
                service_provider=self.service_provider,
                service_name=self.service_name,
                env=self.get_env(),
                args=self.get_args(),
                image="jupyter/minimal-notebook",
                datacenters=["dc1", "dc2"],
                cpu=500,
                memory=512,
            ),
            job_template_path=self.job_template_path,
        )
  
    c.JupyterHub.spawner_class = CustomNomadSpawner
  

• customizing server naming

  c.NomadSpawner.base_job_name = "jupyter"   # used as prefix
  c.NomadSpawner.name_template = "{{prefix}}-{{username}}"
  

[!NOTE] Please be aware that if you have enabled named servers, the template should contain the {{notebookid}}.
