Load extension by default with JupyterHub on Kubernetes

[pebabion]

Hi guys,

I have followed the guide on zero-to-jupyterhub and managed to get the JupyterHub server working on K8S.

I use a custom image with package nb_black baked in it and whenever I start a new workbook, I just need to run %load_ext lab_black to load the extension.

Now, as I want to load this extension automatically whenever I launch a workbook, I did some research online and found this thread.

Basically I need to make the configuration file ipython_config.py so that it has the below config:

c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = [
    'myextension'
]

How can I do it with my current setup?

You should be able to add that to one of the Jupyter configuration files:

Jupyter Paths priority order

Hey folks, A quick post to make one of the features from the latest releases jupyter_core more visible, which might be useful to users juggling between multiple virtual environments on a day to day basis. The jupyter --paths command tells where Jupyter looks for config and data files. It usually outputs something like the following: $ jupyter --paths config: /home/user/.jupyter /home/user/miniforge3/envs/myenvironment/etc/jupyter /usr/local/etc/jupyter /etc/jupyter data: /…

Since you’re using Z2JH you can test this first without JupyterHub- build your singleuser container locally with any required configuration, and test it locally.

Hi @manics , which file should I use? I followed your suggestion but the post didn’t mentioned any ipython_config.py file.
