RemoteJupyter

Utility to run a Jupyter notebook/lab over ssh

Installation (Linux and macOS)

Download/clone the repository and open a terminal in the folder
Run source setup_local.sh [-a <alias> (default jnr)]
Run source setup_remote.sh [user@]host
You will be ssh connected to your host and you will find the file jnr_setup_remote.sh in your home directory. Run it with source jnr_setup_remote.sh [-l <jupyter-lab alias> (default jlr)] [-n <jupyter-notebook alias> (default jnr)] which will setup the aliases to run jupyter notebook and lab remotely

Assuming your alias for RemoteJupyter is jnr (default),

To spawn a new process: jnr -h <[user@]host> [-p <port> (default 8888)]
To kill a process: jnr -kp <port>
To kill all processes on a given host jnr -kh <[user@]host>
To kill all processes jnr -kh all
To view the list of running processes: jnr -v
To refresh [and view] the list of processes (in case some died on their own): jnr -r[v]
To restore dead processes: jnr -R

(local machine): spawn a new process as shown above on a given port, let's say the default one 8888
The terminal automatically moves to the remote machine
(remote machine): start a jupyter notebook or lab with the aliases you set up when configuring RemoteJupyter on the remote machine for example with jlr 8888 which launches a jupyter lab on port 8888"
(remote machine): copy the url that contains 'localhost'
(local machine): open a browser and paste the url
...Do your work...
(remote machine): Stop the notebook/lab by double tapping ctrl-c
optional (remote machine): exit
(local machine): kill the port forwarding process as shown above
