[FIXED] Persistent use of Jupyter Notebook from remote server

Issue

I connect to a remote server using ssh -L but if I close the laptop lid or the connection is lost, the jupyter notebook is disconnected.

After I reconnect to the remote server, the "last" session is lost.

What can be done to make it persistent? Could screen help with it?

Solution

On the remote server, you should open your jupyter in a screen session, it will make it persistent if you lose the connection to the server and resume it.

1. On your computer: ssh -L xxxx:localhost:yyyy server.
2. screen.
3. jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=yyyy. [on remote server]
4. In your browser: localhost:xxxx.

To disconnect manually and reconnect:

1. Exit the screen window: control + a and then d.
2. Disconnect from the server: control + d
3. And reconnect ssh -L xxxx:localhost:yyyy.
4. Optionally, you can reopen the screen window, though unnecessary, using screen -r.
5. Go back to your notebook or reopen localhost:xxxx.
