Login of os user to jupyterhub fails with SudoSpawner

JupyterHub
1

Hi,

I want to run jupyterhub on my local linux server to allow users of that server to use jupyter.
My server distro is opensuse leap 15.3 and I dont want to use docker for this, so I decided to add a service user with conda environment including jupyterhub and SudoSpawner, configure sudo and start the hub

I installed it following the wiki as close as possible. The hub starts, but if I log in, I get " 500 : Internal Server Error", probably caused by jupyterhub-singleuser failing to import main. Unfortunately that error message is too generic for me to understand what is going on. Maybe you can help?

Sudo works:

job4:~ > sudo -u jupyterhub sudo -n -u $USER /home/jupyterhub/miniconda3/bin/sudospawner --help
Usage: /home/jupyterhub/miniconda3/bin/sudospawner [OPTIONS]
...

This is the full output of the hub console

(base) job4:~ > jupyterhub --JupyterHub.spawner_class=sudospawner.SudoSpawner

Nevermind,

I looked into /home/jupyterhub/miniconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/jupyterhub/singleuser/app.py and discovered it wants to import jupyterlab … and that was not a dependency of jupyterhub as I blindly assumed, so not installed. I installed it and all is well for now :slight_smile:

on to ssl and systemd…
