I’m trying to run jupyterhub as a service, but I’m running into some permission issues. I run the service with:
sudo start-stop-daemon --start --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/jupyterhub.pid --exec /local/miniconda3_test/bin/jupyterhub --chuid rhea:rhea -- --config=/etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py --port 8000 --JupyterHub.spawner_class=sudospawner.SudoSpawner
Which results in the following:

I had another instance running with the same setup (same user, same config file), so I believe my configuration is correct. The problem seems to be that jupyterhub is clearly trying to write a file to some location where it does not have acces. However, I can’t figure out the full path of jupyterhub-proxy.pid.
