suggest IP for host?

[jrmlhermitte]

One issue. For adding a jupyter kernel, I had to change from using the hostname string to a specific IP address. I'm not sure where along the chain the issue is.

However, this could be an issue that others encounter. I'd suggest adding to these docs https://nsls-ii.github.io/conda.html#access-custom-user-environments-in-nsls-ii-s-jupyterhub

something like: tip : if you are having kernel connection problems, try replacing the hostname with an actual ip address. You may find your ip address by typing ip addr on the host machine.

@danielballan do you agree? i will PR if yes. This issue is also meant to flag this general problem

I'm on the fence about whether to document this workaround. This seems like it that should definitely be fixed at the IT level. Encoding IPs could make our system brittle, so I guess I lean against documenting this. Which machine did you have this problem on?

just investigated this is my fault. i used the wrong hostname. too much running and not enough sleeping. closing. Sorry about this!

No worries :- )
