Hi,  
I am trying to make jupyter-server-proxy working. Don’t know how to debug it.  
I am inside a docker container  
My installation for jupyer-server-proxy is:  
pip install jupyter-server-proxy  
jupyter serverextension enable --sys-prefix jupyter\_server\_proxy  
jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/server-proxy

my configuration file is:  
c.JupyterHub.authenticator\_class = ‘nativeauthenticator.NativeAuthenticator’  
c.Authenticator.admin\_users = {‘jhub’}  
c.NativeAuthenticator.admin\_users = {‘jhub’}  
c.serverProxy.servers={  
‘test-server’: {  
‘command’: [‘python3’, ‘-m’, ‘http.server’, ‘{port}’],  
‘absolute\_url’: False  
}  
}

I am launching jupyterhub as root:  
sudo jupyterhub -f /etc/jupyterhub/jupyterhub\_config.py --port 9090

I can registred my user admin, go the notebook page, but I can not see the Entry under the new menu in the notebook’s default tree view. I tried with jupyter lab, same result.  
I can’t see any error printed on screen.

Is it an issue? How can I debug it?

Any help is really welcome as I am working on it for days!

Christian

There are two separate applications

- JupyterHub manages authentication and starting/stopping singleuser servers
- JupyterLab or Jupyter notebook which is what you see after you’ve logged in to JupyterHub.

The applications are configured separately, jupyter-server-proxy is on the user-side of things whereas the config you’ve shown looks like it’s for JupyterHub.

Hi! How did you solved the issue? I have the same configuration as yours, but I cannot see the entry
