As a novice about SSH tech etc, I'm not confident on where the JupyterHub SSH should be started. Is this understanding correct?

You configure JupyterHub SSH, a server listening on SSH communication, to speak with a specific JupyterHub instance. Then users accessing JupyterHub SSH will pass a token they have got from jupyterhub's UI in advance. And, by doing so, JupyterHub SSH will act on behalf of the user to spawn a user server and connect with it.

This means, that JupyterHub SSH can be started in a dedicated server, as long as it has network access to JupyterHub's public network entrypoint, which it likely will have anywhere. Is this correct?

@GeorgianaElena some indentation of content under numbered bullet points would look nice!

Yes, that's my understanding of it too.

I also wrote some usage docs in https://docs.datahub.berkeley.edu/en/latest/users/ssh.html if that's helpful to steal!
