How to run remote Jupyter notebook that can survive connection issues? - jupyter-notebook

I use Jupyter notebook from my home computer to AWS EC2 that runs the Jupyter server. The connection is not 100% reliable and it would disconnect sometimes. Then the work on Jupyter notebook would stop.
Is there a configuration that can survive the connection issues? Ideally, I want the Jupyter server to continue to run and my web browser can reconnect to it.

you can configure your server to run in the background. Check this post for more details:

Is it possible to access a windows network or local drive from a remote Jupyter Notebook server running on Linux?

I have a web address that brings me to a remote Jupyter Notebook (Linux) server that I access from my Windows machine but need access to data on a local drive.
I have tried ssh and changing the config file, as well as changing the directory command but keep getting no location found
You can use file upload widget from ipywidgets to interact with your local storage via browser client. More info in ipywidgets docs.
You need to upload and write to the server.

Jupyter webserver, can't view directories and files

I have setup a Jupyter Notebook Server on an AWS server, using the Andaconda distribution. I can login to the Jupyter web application on the public IP address but Jupyter doesn't list the directories or files. I can see them when I am using the private IP address (using RDP into the machine).
I suspect it may have to do something with the windows accounts.
Any insight what I am missing?
Thanks in advance
So I found the answer myself. I have a Windows account specifically for the Jupyter user (Guest, Power User). I have tried adding Administrator to this account as well but it didn't resolve the issue.
The solution is even easier, you just have to run the Jupyter Notebook Server as Administrator.
There you have it if you ever run into the same issue that I had.

Meteor Vagrant can curl localhost:3000 but windows cannot open localhost:3000 windows 8.1

Good morning,
Working on installing Meteor on windows using the following guide:https://gist.github.com/gabrielhpugliese/5855677
As pointed out on other posts its a little dated and I needed to install meteor separately, which I used this guide: Unable to install meteorite on Ubuntu VM
Currently, my set up can do the following:
files stay in sync between vagrant and windows
localhost:3000/ is working on the server
What I still need help completing:
when opening localhost:3000/ in my windows browser, I get the "This webpage is not available
I know that the vagrant VM is correctly serving the app because I opened a new instance of vagrant and curled the localhoust:3000/
I am actively working in django and node and can successfully run apps locally on :8000 and :8080, I tested the meteor app on those ports but still couldn't connect. I also created a windows firewall port exception on 3000 but the results didn't change.
I know that there is a windows-preview currently out, but that is not working for me and I have an issue being tracked in gitHub.
Thank you in advance.
One thing that might be worth mentioning is it is somewhat possible to use Meteor on windows.
More details here: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows.
With your vagrant machine it sounds like there is a problem with port forwarding on your localhost machine to the VM's ports.
One possible simple way to get passed this is to get your Ubuntu machines IP address and simply load it up using http://<ip address>:3000.
I'm not sure why the port forwarding isn't working on your machine. In general the reason is provided when you run vagrant up, if there was an issue.

How do I view the Meteor app running on the VM at localhost:3000?

Hi I'm trying to make my first meteor app. I just made an app and have run it. I've also upgraded to latest meteorite and meteor. I just created a new app and have run it.
App running at: http://localhost:3000/
But I cannot view this webpage on my host computer. I'm running meteor on an ubuntu vm.
It was working before I updated meteorite and meteor and installed the iron-router package to an app I'm working on.
check in the console you might have the error as template is not defined, Meteor is not defined etc...
I too was unable to connect to the Meteor App that was being developed on a centos VM.
The followuing worked:
Setup:
Windows 7/8.1 with Following tools installed:
Putty
VMW Workstation
Centos VM (Server or GUI based)
Chrome/Mozilla Browsers
Launch the VM from VMW Workstation
Console into the VM using Putty
Launch the Meteor App. Will show its listening at localhost?3000
Launch a new session of Putty.
Go To SSH-Tunnels - Source: 3000, Destination - Localhost:3000. Save this settings
Connect to the VM with these settings
Launch the browser and and navigate to localhost:3000
Worked for me, hope does for all
As you have determined, the message on the vm regarding localhost:3000 refers to the vm that is running meteor, and localhost on your computer refers to your computer.
The secure fix for this is to create an encrypted tunnel to connect localhost:3000 on your computer to localhost:3000 on the remote computer.
Start the meteor app on the VM so that you get the message about it being ready on localhost:3000
On the local computer open another terminal window and initiate a second connection to the VM with:
ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 yourUSER#remoteHOST
This assumes you are running Linux. If you are on Windows, look at the options for your SSH client. It may have similar options to create tunnels.
Open a web browser on your local computer and go to http://localhost:3000
The ssh tunnelling software will sense the connection to localhost:3000 on your computer and will connect you to localhost:3000 on the remote, forwarding the data through an encrypted tunnel.
If this seems like a lot of trouble, there are paid developer platforms like http://nitrous.io that can run meteor and have a web based IDE that can simplify this sort of thing for you so you do not need to run the tunnel. Another way to simplify is to not use a remote VM, but install Meteor on the home computer and only copy the code to a VM when it is finished and ready for production.
If you don't want to run on localhost:3000 at all, but on the webserver on port 80, you might check to see if there is an environment variable that switches the code from development mode to production.

Can RStudio (IDE NOT server) be configured to use remote R setup?

I am transitioning my debian setup into one where all debian-repository external apps run in dedicated docker containers.
In this context rstudio, of which I am a heavy user, has me puzzled ... does anybody have insight into whether it's possible to run it as a client to remote R installation?
What is a very cool feature of RStudio is RStudio Server. You install RStudio Server on you Ubuntu server and log in to a specific port where RStudio Server is running. You then get your full RStudio interface in your web browser. This allows you to run all your R analyses from any computer that has a modern browser and an internet connection.
R then runs on the remote server, asking almost no resource from the computer you are connecting from.
