## Description

JupyterLab is a web-based interactive development environment for Jupyter notebooks, code, and data. It combines notebook cells, code consoles, terminals, and a file manager in a single browser window, so developers and data scientists can run and share analyses from a self-hosted server. The bundled Arch Linux-based Docker image also ships common Python data science libraries and CERN's ROOT for high-energy physics.

## Platform availability

Available on 3 of 9 platforms: Unraid, Umbrel, Helm.

## Common questions

### What must I start after installing JupyterLab for a browser-based self-hosted setup?

Start the web service after installation. Without that service running, the browser has nothing to connect to.

### Which local file should I keep intact when backing up JupyterLab extension settings?

Keep build_config.json intact because it records local extension folders and core extensions you removed. If it is lost or changed wrongly, those local extensions may stop loading.

### Can a self-hosted multi-user Jupyter setup use external authentication?

A multi-user Jupyter deployment can manage users and authentication with PAM, OAuth, or your own directory service system.

### What should I do if I am still running JupyterLab 3?

Upgrade to JupyterLab 4 as soon as possible. JupyterLab 3 reached end of maintenance on May 15, 2024, and critical fixes were backported only until December 31, 2024.
