Config file and command line options#

The notebook server can be run with a variety of command line arguments. A list of available options can be found below in the options section.

Defaults for these options can also be set by creating a file named jupyter_notebook_config.py in your Jupyter folder. The Jupyter folder is in your home directory, ~/.jupyter.

To create a jupyter_notebook_config.py file, with all the defaults commented out, you can use the following command line:

$ jupyter notebook --generate-config

Options#

This list of options can be generated by running the following and hitting enter:

$ jupyter notebook --help
Application.log_datefmtUnicode

Default: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

The date format used by logging formatters for %(asctime)s

Application.log_formatUnicode

Default: '[%(name)s]%(highlevel)s %(message)s'

Default: 30

Set the log level by value or name.

Application.logging_configDict

Default: {}

Configure additional log handlers.

The default stderr logs handler is configured by the log_level, log_datefmt and log_format settings.

This configuration can be used to configure additional handlers (e.g. to output the log to a file) or for finer control over the default handlers.

If provided this should be a logging configuration dictionary, for more information see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html#logging-config-dictschema

This dictionary is merged with the base logging configuration which defines the following:

  • A logging formatter intended for interactive use called console.

  • A logging handler that writes to stderr called console which uses the formatter console.

  • A logger with the name of this application set to DEBUG level.

This example adds a new handler that writes to a file:

c.Application.logging_config = {
    'handlers': {
        'file': {
            'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
            'level': 'DEBUG',

        }
    },
    'loggers': {

(shutdown the notebook server).

Default: True

DEPRECATED in 2.0. Use PasswordIdentityProvider.allow_password_change

ServerApp.allow_remote_accessBool

Default: False

Allow requests where the Host header doesn’t point to a local server

By default, requests get a 403 forbidden response if the ‘Host’ header shows that the browser thinks it’s on a non-local domain. Setting this option to True disables this check.

This protects against ‘DNS rebinding’ attacks, where a remote web server serves you a page and then changes its DNS to send later requests to a local IP, bypassing same-origin checks.

Local IP addresses (such as 127.0.0.1 and ::1) are allowed as local, along with hostnames configured in local_hostnames.

ServerApp.client_caUnicode

Default: ''

The full path to a certificate authority certificate for SSL/TLS client authentication.

The content manager class to use.

ServerApp.cookie_optionsDict

Default: {}

The random bytes used to secure cookies.

By default this is a new random number every time you start the server. Set it to a value in a config file to enable logins to persist across server sessions.

Note: Cookie secrets should be kept private, do not share config files with cookie_secret stored in plaintext (you can read the value from a file).

ServerApp.cookie_secret_fileUnicode

Default: ''

The file where the cookie secret is stored.

ServerApp.custom_display_urlUnicode

Default: ''

Override URL shown to users.

Replace actual URL, including protocol, address, port and base URL, with the given value when displaying URL to the users. Do not change the actual connection URL. If authentication token is enabled, the token is added to the custom URL automatically.

This option is intended to be used when the URL to display to the user cannot be determined reliably by the Jupyter server (proxified or containerized setups for example).

ServerApp.default_urlUnicode

Default: '/'

The default URL to redirect to from /

ServerApp.disable_check_xsrfBool

Default: False

Disable cross-site-request-forgery protection

Jupyter server includes protection from cross-site request forgeries, requiring API requests to either:

  • originate from pages served by this server (validated with XSRF cookie and token), or

  • authenticate with a token

Some anonymous compute resources still desire the ability to run code, completely without authentication. These services can disable all authentication and security checks, with the full knowledge of what that implies.

ServerApp.extra_servicesList

Default: []

handlers that should be loaded at higher priority than the default services

ServerApp.extra_static_pathsList

Default: []

Extra paths to search for serving static files.

Set the log level by value or name.

ServerApp.logging_configDict

Default: {}

Configure additional log handlers.

The default stderr logs handler is configured by the log_level, log_datefmt and log_format settings.

This configuration can be used to configure additional handlers (e.g. to output the log to a file) or for finer control over the default handlers.

If provided this should be a logging configuration dictionary, for more information see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html#logging-config-dictschema

This dictionary is merged with the base logging configuration which defines the following:

  • A logging formatter intended for interactive use called console.

  • A logging handler that writes to stderr called console which uses the formatter console.

  • A logger with the name of this application set to DEBUG level.

This example adds a new handler that writes to a file:

Gets or sets the maximum amount of memory, in bytes, that is allocated for use by the buffer manager.

This is not precisely timed: it may shut down up to a minute later. 0 (the default) disables this automatic shutdown.

ServerApp.sockUnicode

ServerApp.sock_modeUnicode

Default: '0600'

ServerApp.terminado_settingsDict

Default: {}

ServerApp.terminals_enabledBool

Default: False

ServerApp.use_redirect_fileBool

Default: True

Disable launching browser by redirect file

For versions of notebook > 5.7.2, a security feature measure was added that prevented the authentication token used to launch the browser from being visible. This feature makes it difficult for other users on a multi-user system from running code in your Jupyter session as you. However, some environments (like Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Chromebooks), launching a browser using a redirect file can lead the browser failing to load. This is because of the difference in file structures/paths between the runtime and the browser.

Disabling this setting to False will disable this behavior, allowing the browser to launch by using a URL and visible token (as before).

ServerApp.webbrowser_open_newInt

Default: 2

Specify where to open the server on startup. This is the

new argument passed to the standard library method webbrowser.open. The behaviour is not guaranteed, but depends on browser support. Valid values are:

  • 2 opens a new tab,

  • 1 opens a new window,

  • 0 opens in an existing window.

See the webbrowser.open documentation for details.

ServerApp.websocket_compression_optionsAny
