Migrating from Notebook Server

To migrate from notebook server to plain jupyter server, follow these steps:

• Rename your jupyter_notebook_config.py file to jupyter_server_config.py.

• Rename all c.NotebookApp traits to c.ServerApp.

For example if you have the following jupyter_notebook_config.py.

c.NotebookApp.allow_credentials = False
c.NotebookApp.port = 8889
c.NotebookApp.password_required = True

You will have to create the following jupyter_server_config.py file.

c.ServerApp.allow_credentials = False
c.ServerApp.port = 8889
c.ServerApp.password_required = True

Running Jupyter Notebook on Jupyter Server

If you want to switch to Jupyter Server, but you still want to serve Jupyter Notebook to users, you can try NBClassic.

NBClassic is a Jupyter Server extension that serves the Notebook frontend (i.e. all static assets) on top of Jupyter Server. It even loads Jupyter Notebook’s config files.

Warning

NBClassic will only work for a limited time. Jupyter Server is likely to evolve beyond a point where Jupyter Notebook frontend will no longer work with the underlying server. Consider switching to JupyterLab or nteract where there is active development happening.
