Issue: Starting the notebook service via swarmspawner results in:

Explanation: The hub can't find the service jupyter-77e417a2b692b459f1deaac61b3bf5ba-1 associated with a username anaqvi. It checks user options for a server_name:

https://github.com/cassinyio/SwarmSpawner/blob/master/cassinyspawner/swarmspawner.py#L292-L293

however it doesn't assign a value to server_name if there are no user options. That is if the c.SwarmSpawner.use_user_options = False in jupyterhub_config.py then it doesn't assign the server_name anything. This results in the DNS name to be:

jupyter-77e417a2b692b459f1deaac61b3bf5ba-

which is against the regex for DNS names in Docker ^[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[-_]*[A-Za-z0-9]+)*$ as it contains a dash at the end.

This can be confirmed by changing this line: https://github.com/cassinyio/SwarmSpawner/blob/master/cassinyspawner/swarmspawner.py#L156

from

        return "{}-{}-{}".format(self.service_prefix,

to

        return "{}-{}{}".format(self.service_prefix,

Possible solution: I have a minor commit that fixes this issue by assigning the value of 1 to self.server_name after the if statement: https://github.com/MAliNaqvi/SwarmSpawner/commit/49fb55b328ccd01020267cbd76c0a1fefa23a1ca

Hi @MAliNaqvi, thanks for the issue.

The case where server_name is not specified should be handled inside https://github.com/cassinyio/SwarmSpawner/blob/master/cassinyspawner/swarmspawner.py#L142

I just updated the master branch with a new commit.

Can you check if it works?

[MAliNaqvi]

Hi @barrachri thank you for the quick response.

The change doesn't work.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wv8lxyqlryg52yh/Screenshot%202017-03-16%2019.00.15.png?dl=0 the left terminal the server logs with the error right terminal I show the docker container which is running the hub, as well as the latest incorporated code

@barrachri A colleague of mine @evgeniwk tracked the problem to this line:

https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/95dc4713f48be2cdc7b28b71447ab3e91ce3befc/jupyterhub/user.py#L224

This section relates to allowing multiple servers per user. If we set c.JupyterHub.allow_multiple_servers = False to JupyterHub.allow_multiple_servers = True

The server_name appears correctly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/snn9reyg0cvj1a8/Screenshot%202017-03-16%2019.13.50.png?dl=0

but there is a 404.

[barrachri]

So the problem was that 'self.server_name' always exists and is not none but '' that is False.

You can remove 'c.JupyterHub.allow_multiple_servers = False' because we are still working on this feature.

With the last commit this problem should be resolved.

If you get a 404 error:

1. Check from docker if the service is running
2. Check if you created an overlay network between the jupyterhub and the new service, otherwise jupyterhub cannot reach the service

@barrachri

The new change https://github.com/cassinyio/SwarmSpawner/blob/254f07899fb6a18fe1ff235a0e91acc485509942/cassinyspawner/swarmspawner.py#L150-L153

gives an attribute error:

jupyterhub.1.mpvej68c1wtx@moby    |       File "/srv/jupyterhub/src/swarmspawner/cassinyspawner/swarmspawner.py", line 150, in service_name
jupyterhub.1.mpvej68c1wtx@moby    |         if self.server_name:
jupyterhub.1.mpvej68c1wtx@moby    |     AttributeError: 'SwarmSpawner' object has no attribute 'server_name'

We can solve it either by:

        if hasattr(self, 'server_name'):
            if self.server_name:
                server_name = self.server_name
            else:
                server_name = 1
        else:
            server_name = 1

or a simpler version would be:

        server_name = 1
        if hasattr(self, 'server_name'):
            if self.server_name:
                server_name = self.server_name

I have tested both and they work.

[barrachri]

Hi @MAliNaqvi thanks for the patient.

So service_name is also called outside def start() this why we get AttributeError. With the last version of the spawner it works.

I am waiting for a feedback to close this issue.

[MAliNaqvi]

@barrachri yes the latest code works. This issue can be closed.
