jupyterhub behind a reverse proxy

[victor-moreno]

Hi
I need some help setting up this plugin.
Can anyone comment if this should work when jupyterhub is behind a reverse proxy?

I have managed to see the page "Waiting for decode worker", then after timeout I get the connect.html but not success from there.
The logs show "Websocket connection established to ws://localhost:38631/" so it seems there are no websocket problems, but I am not sure. The host reverse proxy forwards to the jupyterhub proxy, but I am not sure websockets are also forwarded, because they use a random port, as 38631.

Other potential problem is the AES encryption. The connect page shows 3 options: AES-CBC, AES-CFB and AES-CTR. The plugin sends encryption=AES without more details.

Thanks
Victor

Hi Victor,
this plugin starts an xpra session with the command you find here
The port is choosen by jupyter-server-proxy and fixed as you can see here
same as the encryption as you can see here
The AES key and the token are passed through the URL as you can see here

I would suggest you check your setup starting an xpra session manually on your system first and try to use jupyter-server-proxy's arbitrary-port-access ability to access it. This plugin is not doing anything else, just in a more convenient way.

Thanks, I managed to run it, but had to remove the authentification parameters.
If I find out the problem I will post it.
