HTTP 500 error in Docker Jupyterhub when requesting user tokens

JupyterHub
,

Hoi there,

I’m trying to create tokens (non API) for a number of auto-created users. Here’s what I’m doing:

  1. Create Docker image of a Jupyterhub with a custom configure file that has an admin user and API token (works)
  2. Start the Docker image as a container (works)
  3. Test the REST API with the admin token to see if I have access (works)
  4. Use the REST API with the admin token to create users (works)
  5. Use the REST API to create tokens for each created user using the same admin user and token (fails)

The POST url I’m using is (fictitious username):

http://localhost:10000/hub/api/users/cstuart/tokens

With JSON body taken directly from the API documentation:

{
   "expires_in": 0,
   "note":"Automatically generated auth token",
   "roles":[
      "user"
   ]
}

In the console where I run the custom container I see the following.

[I 2023-04-07 17:34:10.708 JupyterHub users:421] Service admin requested API token for cstuart
