Trying to Add Administrator Through Kubernetes Engine on Google Cloud

JupyterHub
1

I am running Jupyter Hub for the first time. I have it installed on a cluster on Google Cloud Platform on a Kubernetes Engine. I am able to log in but I have not been able to affect any change by modifying the config.yaml file. To begin with, I would like to set myself as admin using this method:

auth:
  admin:
    users:
      - adminuser1

After restarting the server, both on the hub and the actual cloud machine, there appears to be no change. This is just the first of many operations I want to perform but, if I can get this working, the others should go more smoothly.

Welcome to the forum!

Could you tell us more about how you’ve deployed JupyterHub. For example did you follow

https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

or did you install it a different way?

I followed the instructions found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk6ZHVIw0Xs

I deleted that cluster and started over. I built my new cluster based on this: https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

That was a good exercise in repetition so I understand this process more this time. I have edited my ‘config.yaml’ file as follows:

proxy:
  secretToken: "<my_token>"

singleuser:
  image:
    # Get the latest image tag at:
    # https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyter/datascience-notebook/tags/
    # Inspect the Dockerfile at:
    # https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/master/datascience-notebook/Dockerfile
    name: jupyter/datascience-notebook
    tag: 177037d09156
  defaultUrl: "/lab"

hub:
  extraConfig:
    jupyterlab: |
      c.Spawner.cmd = ['jupyter-labhub']

auth:
  admin:
    users:
      - <myusername>

Everything seems to be working, including the admin setup, except for setting the default environment to JupyterLab. I can get to the lab by modifying the url but it does not start there.

Also, am I making changes correctly by editing the ‘config.yaml’ file and then running a helm upgrade?

Thank you for your guidance.

After waiting a few hours it now seems to load into the lab correctly.

Yes! That’s exactly what you’re meant to do :grinning:.
