Sets up an IPython Notebook server using Chef.
This cookbook targets Jupyter/IPython 4.x environment.
CAUTION: This cookbook now (Jan, 2017) defaults to using Jupyter and IPython versus the old monolithic IPython stack. While testing has been performed, if you are dependent on the old behavior, you should use the V1.1.1 tagged release of this cookbook.
This cookbook uses Chef 12.1+.
This cookbook isn't on supermarket (yet), so for now you'll have to use Berkshelf and point to it in your Berksfile
cookbook 'ipynb', github: 'rgbkrk/ipynb-cookbook'You can also try it out using test-kitchen.
test-kitchen converge ubuntu-16
Once finished, the IPython notebook can be accessed from your host machine (through port forwarding) on 127.0.0.1:9999.
See attributes/default.rb for default values. Most values including :linux_user, :linux_group, and :service_name default to 'ipynb'.
Particularly important parameters for configuration of the notebook are located in node[:ipynb][:NotebookApp].
node[:ipynb][:NotebookApp][:password]- Password to use when accessing the notebook. (Please use an encrypted data bag to set this attribute in a real deployment).
If you're using the virtualenv recipe, you can either install more to the same virtualenv (node[:ipynb][:virtenv]) or add additional packages to node[:ipynb][:extra_packages].
The default recipe simply installs (using system packages) IPython Notebook, numpy, Pandas, matplotlib, and all the dependencies for these.
The virtenv_launch recipe creates user and group ipynb, creates a spot to store notebooks, and sets up ipython notebook as a service using supervisord.
The proxy recipe adds an nginx proxy to the notebook and requires you to set the certificate and key attributes.
node[:ipynb][:ssl_certificate]- Location to install the SSL certificate (e.g. /etc/nginx/ssl.crt)node[:ipynb][:ssl_certificate_text]- Text for the SSL Certificatenode[:ipynb][:ssl_certificate_key]- Location to install the SSL private key (e.g. /etc/nginx/ssl.key)node[:ipynb][:ssl_certificate_key_text]- Text for the SSL private key
On a real deployment, these should be set using an encrypted data bag.

This cookbook satisfies the needs of the current collaborators. To do items include:
- Supporting non-Ubuntu platforms (Amazon, Centos, etc.)
- Support for non-IPython kernels (Rstats)
- Submission to Supermarket
- CI testing
Contributions are most welcome!
