Hello,
I have a Jupyter lab deployment running as a pod on my openshift cluster. I have mounted the persistent volume at path /home/jovyan/work so all the notebooks that are running are present at this path. But, when I try to create any file/folder through any jupyter notebook present in this path, it is trying to create it at ‘/’ which gives permission denied error.
I tried updating the “notebook_dir” path value by updating the jupyter_lab_config.py file by specifying:
c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = "/home/jovyan/work"
but it didn’t work.
Next, I tried mentioning the value of this field as below since I was running a lab environment:
c.ServerApp.notebook_dir = "/home/jovyan/work"
but this also didn’t worked out.
Then, I tried updating the value of another property in jupyter_lab_config.py file by specifying:
c.ServerApp.root_dir = '/home/jovyan/work'
and, this didn’t worked out as well.
Later, I tried passing the path as a command-line argument as well by passing --notebook-dir='/home/jovyan/work while running the jupyter lab command while startup of the pod but that also didn’t worked out.
I tried adding different combinations of this settings as well but nothing has worked out so far and the instance is still trying to create files/folders at / which is giving me permission denied error.
Can anyone please help me out in resolving this issue as soon as possible as this is really hindering the usage of the jupyter instance for me.
