Jupyter Notebook refers almost interchangeably to both:
<noteboookname>.ipynb, andThe text file format contains inline comments, code, and code output (text, graphics, and small animations).
You can download and run a jupyter notebook web server on your personal computer.
At POLAN we have a JupyterHub: a multi-user Jupyter notebook server system. This consists of:
| Service | URL (subject to change) |
|---|---|
| 1. Interactive jupyter notebook editor (login required) | https://insanity.phys.ocean.dal.ca/ |
| 2. Local community-only notebook viewer (login required) | https://insanity.phys.ocean.dal.ca/services/nbviewer/ |
| 3. Public notebook viewer; publish your own notebook webpage! | https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/notebooks/ |
This service is akin to your public_html directory for personal web pages, except it is your public_notebooks directory for personal notebooks.
| Service | Server | Home subdirectory | Default page | URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| User public web pages | anchor/passage | ~/public_html/ | index.html | https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/~username |
| User public notebooks | anchor/insanity | ~/public_notebooks/ | index.ipynb | https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/notebooks/~username |
Any notebooks that you save in your ~/public_noteboooks/ folder on insanity.phys.ocean.dal.ca will be accessible at a URL of the form:
https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/notebooks/~<username>/MyNotebook.ipynb
For example: https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/notebooks/~daniel/Animation-python.ipynb
Create a notebook named index.ipynb in you ~/public_notebooks/ directory, and it will be served up if no notebook is specified. For example:
https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/notebooks/~daniel/
From inside your notebook, you can reference other notebooks without a full url. For example, this code:
[My animated notebook](Animation-python.ipynb)
produces this link:
and this link will work in both the public read-only viewer https://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/notebooks/~daniel/Welcome.ipynb (public), the local read-only viewer https://insanity.phys.ocean.dal.ca/services/nbviewer/url/localhost/~daniel/Welcome.ipynb (login required), and the live notebook https://insanity.phys.ocean.dal.ca/user/daniel/notebooks/public_notebooks/Welcome.ipynb (login required).
