Setting up jupyter notebook server as service in Ubuntu 16.04

Step 1: Verify the jupyter notebook location:

$ ll /home/avkash/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook
-rwxrwxr-x 1 avkash avkash 222 Jun 4 10:00 /home/avkash/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook*

Step 2: Configure your jupyter notebook with password and ip address as needed and make sure where it exist. We will use this file as configuration for jupyter as service.

jupyter config: /home/avkash/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Step 3: Create a file name jupyter.service as below and save it into /usr/lib/systemd/system/ folder.

$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/jupyter.service
[Unit]
Description=Jupyter Notebook

[Service]
Type=simple
PIDFile=/run/jupyter.pid
# Step 1 and Step 2 details are here..
# ------------------------------------
ExecStart=/home/avkash/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook --config=/home/avkash/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
User=avkash
Group=avkash
WorkingDirectory=/home/avkash/tools/notebooks
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
#KillMode=mixed

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 4: Now enabled the service as below:

$ sudo systemctl enable jupyter.service

Step 5: Now enabled the service as below:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Step 6: Now enabled the service as below:

$ sudo systemctl restart jupyter.service

The service is started now. You can test it as below:

 jupyter.service      loaded active running Jupyter Notebook

Thats it, enjoy!!
