First the following software needs to be installed:

pip3 install jupyterlab notebook

You can use the make_user_accounts.py script with the following scripts:

• --passwords: words.txt -- a txt file with ingredient words on each line to generate passwords with
• --from_file: users.txt -- a txt file with a username on each line
• --servername: sandbol -- a string

The script generates:

• users.csv: a list of all the users, their personal ports, their passwords
• users.md: a bulletpoint list with a link to the /__LAB__/ link for each user
• users.nginx.conf: snippets of nginx configuration that can be added to the main nginx config file

Then the service file template is copied:

sudo cp templates/jupyterlab@.service /etc/systemd/system

This service file is a template for all the jupyter lab services that are running, which is one for each user.

Now try to start one jupyterlab instance with:

sudo systemctl start jupyter@murtaugh
