# Classroom Notebook Server
Multi-user Jupyter, powered by JupyterHub via the-littlest-jupyterhub.
## Features
- One JupyterHub instance, N users — each gets their own notebook server
- Python + R kernels preinstalled; install more via `sudo -E pip install` or `conda` per user
- Resource limits per user (CPU + RAM)
- Admin dashboard for user management + culling idle servers
- PAM authentication (in-container users) by default; switch to OAuth / LDAP in the Hub config
- Shared notebooks directory for read-only course materials
## Packaging
All-in-one build via **the-littlest-jupyterhub** (TLJH) — the JupyterHub flavour designed for single-server multi-user deployments. Each user's home + notebooks live under `/data/home/<user>`. **JUPYTERHUB_ADMIN_USER** becomes the first admin (PAM); other users can self-register or be added by the admin via the Hub UI.
## Resource sizing
4 GB RAM is enough for ~10 concurrent users doing light Python. For real classrooms (50+ students), bump to xl tier or use the full Zero-to-JupyterHub-on-Kubernetes deployment instead.
