How can I share Jupyter notebooks with non-programmers

Question

I am trying to wrap my head around what I can cannot do with Jupyter   I have a Jupyter server running on our internal server  accessible via VPN and password protected    I am the only one actually creating notebooks but I would like to make some notebooks visible to other team members in a read-only way  Ideally I could just share a URL with them that they would bookmark for when they want to see the notebook with refreshed data   I saw export options but cannot find any mention of  publishing  or  making public  local live notebooks  Is this impossible  Is it maybe just a wrong way to think about how Jupyter should be used

One more way to achieve this goal would be using JupyterHub.

With JupyterHub you can create a multi-user Hub which spawns, manages, and proxies multiple instances of the single-user Jupyter notebook server. Due to its flexibility and customization options, JupyterHub can be used to serve notebooks to a class of students, a corporate data science group, or a scientific research group.

Michael s suggestion of running your own nbviewer instance is a good one I used in the past with an Enterprise Github server    Another lightweight alternative is to have a cell at the end of your notebook that does a shell call to nbconvert so that it s automatically refreshed after running the whole thing     ipython nbconvert  lt notebook name gt  ipynb --to html  EDIT  With Jupyter IPython s Big Split  you ll probably want to change this to  jupyter nbconvert  lt notebook name gt  ipynb --to html now

The  best  way to share a Jupyter notebook is to simply to place it on GitHub  and view it directly  or some other public link and use the Jupyter Notebook Viewer  When privacy is more of an issue then there are alternatives but it s certainly more complex  there s no built-in way to do this in Jupyter alone  but a couple of options are   Host your own nbviewer  GitHub and the Jupyter Notebook Veiwer both use the same tool to render  ipynb files into static HTML  this tool is nbviewer   The installation instructions are more complex than I m willing to go into here but if your company team has a shared server that doesn t require password access then you could host the nbviewer on that server and direct it to load from your credentialed server  This will probably require some more advanced configuration than you re going to find in the docs   Set up a deployment script  If you don t necessarily need live updating HTML then you could set up a script on your credentialed server that will simply use Jupyter s built-in export options to create the static HTML files and then send those to a more publicly accessible server

Google has recently made public its internal Collaboratory project  link here   You can start a notebook in the same way as starting a Google Sheet or Google Doc  and then simply share the notebook or add collaborators    For now  this is the easiest way for me

A great way of doing this on WordPress consists of the following steps   Step 1  Open your Jupyter notebook in a text editor and copy the content which may look like so  Your  ipynb file may look like this when opened in a text editor  Step 2  Ctrl   A and Ctrl   C this content  Then Ctrl   V this to a GitHub Gist that you should create   Step 3  Create a public gist and embed the gist like you always embed gists on WordPress  viz   go to the HTML editor and add like so     gist gist url    I have actually implemented this on my blog  You can find the post here

It depends on what you are intending to do with your Notebook  do you want that the user can recompute the results or just playing with them   Static notebook  NBViewer is a great tool  You can directly use it inside Jupyter  Github has also a render  so you can directly link your file  such as https   github com my-name my-repo blob master mynotebook ipynb   Alive notebook  If you want your user to be able to recompute some parts  you can also use MyBinder  It takes some time to start your notebook  but the result is worth it    As said by  Mapl  Google can host your notebook with Colab  A nice feature is to compute your cells over a GPU
