The jupyter lite (or jupyter-lite) CLI provides tools for lifecycle of combining…

  • the core JupyterLite static assets

  • extra application features like Lab Extensions and settings

  • kernel-specific resources like Python wheels

  • user-authored content like Notebooks

… into a ready-to-deploy (and optionally reproducible) Jupyter sites which require an HTTP server, but no application server.

DEPRECATION: sphinxext-rediraffe main has a non-standard version number. pip 24.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to upgrade to a newer version of sphinxext-rediraffe or contact the author to suggest that they release a version with a conforming version number. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063

DEPRECATION: sphinxext-rediraffe main has a non-standard version number. pip 24.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to upgrade to a newer version of sphinxext-rediraffe or contact the author to suggest that they release a version with a conforming version number. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063

Installing a kernel#

The jupyterlite-core package provides the core functionality for building JupyterLite websites and does not install any kernels by default.

If you would like to include a kernel in your JupyterLite deployment you need to install it before building the site.

For example to also include the Python kernel based on Pyodide:

pip install jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel

Quick Start#

Once installed, one can get to a locally-hosted, empty JupyterLite site with:

jupyter lite serve

This will:

  • init the baseline assets

  • build all extra assets

    • if a files/ folder is found, those will be copied into _output/files

      • … and indexed if jupyter_server is installed

  • serve the site locally and print out a URL

The Lite Dir#

When you run jupyter lite commands, it assumes your current working directory is the partial contents of a JupyterLite site. You can override this with --lite-dir. By default, the built site will be created in _output, but can be overridden with --output-dir.

Hide code cell content 
if "TMP_DIR" not in globals():
    TMP_DIR = pathlib.Path(tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="_my_lite_dir_"))

    def clean():
        shutil.rmtree(TMP_DIR)

    atexit.register(clean)
os.chdir(TMP_DIR)
print(pathlib.Path.cwd())

/tmp/_my_lite_dir_f75qhoy2

Well-known Files#

Some files in your --lite-dir that have special meaning:

look in path…

… for file named

… and if found

.
./lab
./notebook

jupyter-lite.{json,ipynb}

merge with static in _output/{path}/jupyter-lite.{json,ipynb}

.
./lab
./notebook

overrides.json

merge with static in _output/{*}/jupyter-lite.json

./files/

*

copy verbatim to _output/files/* and index in /api/contents

./pypi/

*.whl

copy verbatim to _output/pypi/* and index

./static/pyodide

pyodide.js, *.data, *.js

copy verbatim to _output/pyodide/*

See more about merging contents.

HTTP headers#

When working locally, it can be convenient to emulate HTTP headers that would match how a site would work when deployed. As these get rather complicated, the following options are configurable, but only affect jupyter lite serve, such as emulating a “permissive” host with extra_http_headers (which extend the default headers) or http_headers (replacing any default headers):

{
  "LiteBuildConfig": {
    "http_headers": {
      "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "x-requested-with",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "POST, GET, OPTIONS",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
    }
  }
}

Check#

Use all available mechanisms to verify that the build folder conforms to schema, etc.

Archive#

Turn the output directory into a .tgz file. This is usually easier to move around than (sometimes) hundreds of files, and can be used as the baseline for future sites.

This command is relatively expensive, and is skipped for documentation purposes

But let’s talk about a more reproducible asset.

Hide code cell content 
# we clean out the TMP_DIR for the reproducibility examples
shutil.rmtree(TMP_DIR / "_output", ignore_errors=True)

Reproducible Archives#

🛠️ This feature is a work-in-progress, and should not be relied upon by any production workflows Just Yet.

If --source-date-epoch is given, a number of measures will be taken to try to ensure that the output of jupyter lite archive, an npm-compatible tgz package, always returns a bit-for-bit reproducible build.

The most obvious change is that the modified time of each file “clamped” to that time. Some other changes:

  • file ownership will be reset

  • predictable sorting will be used

  • additional checks will be applied

Note

This is a shortcut for setting the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:

platform

command

Linux
MacOS

export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=<a timestamp>

Windows

set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=<a timestamp>

Python

os.environ.update(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, <a timestamp>)
Hide code cell source 
if "source_date_epoch" not in globals():
    from datetime import datetime

    source_date_epoch = int(datetime.utcnow().timestamp())

print("SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is", source_date_epoch)

SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is 1713257945

if not RTD:
    !jupyter lite archive --source-date-epoch {source_date_epoch} --output-archive ./a.tgz

If we clear out our _output…

Hide code cell source 
if not RTD:
    shutil.rmtree(TMP_DIR / "_output", ignore_errors=True)
    pprint.pprint([*TMP_DIR.rglob("*")])

…and rebuild, we should always get the same file.

if not RTD:
    !jupyter lite archive --source-date-epoch {source_date_epoch} --output-archive ./b.tgz
Hide code cell source 
if not RTD:
    a, b = (hashlib.sha256((TMP_DIR / f"{x}.tgz").read_bytes()).hexdigest() for x in "ab")
    print("We built app archives with the SHA256SUMS of:\n", a, "\n", b)
    try:
        assert a == b, f"We did not reproducibly build today.\n- {a}\n- {b}\n\n"
    except AssertionError:
        if shutil.which("diffoscope"):
            print("We did NOT reproducibly build today, checking in with `diffoscope`...")
            !diffoscope a.tgz b.tgz
        print("...but at least we tried REALLY hard!\n")

Miscellaneous#

Merging Contents#

In addition to the default files/ path, provide additional files to show in the File Manager or Tree when JupyterLite launches with --contents, which can be provided multiple times.

Note

  • If --contents is provided, the default value of --contents files will be ignored

  • If given multiple times, and child folder/file names would collide, the last path wins

Hint

For complex file layouts, a jupyter_lite_config.json is highly recommended.

Contents Example#

Given a directory like:

my-lite-dir/
  files/
    README.md
    a.md
  more-files/
    README.md
    b.md

Running jupyter lite build without any arguments will yield:

my-lite-dir/
  _output/
    README.md
    a.md

Whereas jupyter lite build --contents more-files --contents files will yield:

my-lite-dir/
  _output/
    files/
      README.md # this will be from my-lite-dir/files
      a.md
      b.md

And jupyter lite build --contents files --contents more-files will yield:

my-lite-dir/
  _output/
    files/
      README.md # this will be from my-lite-dir/more-files
      a.md
      b.md

conda packages#

While --federated-extensions support the .tar.bz2 created by most conda packages, there are some issues:

  • anaconda.org uses non-standard HTTP headers to S3 buckets to provide packages

  • the conda-forge channel provides all of its builds as GitHub releases, and can be predictably transformed, e.g.

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/jupyterlab_widgets/1.0.0/download/noarch/jupyterlab_widgets-1.0.0-pyhd8ed1ab_1.tar.bz2
                                                                   |      |
                                                                   |      +---------------------------------------------+
                                                                   v      v                                             v
         https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch/jupyterlab_widgets-1.0.0-pyhd8ed1ab_1.tar.bz2

Pyodide wheels#

Prebuilt Lab Extension developers who wish to include wheels for use with the Pyodide kernel may use this command to pre-index wheels they wish to distribute. This can be useful if a package needs upstream patches, etc.

Pyodide#

Pyodide is a WebAssembly distribution of CPython and powers the Pyodide kernel kernel. At nearly 200mb, compressed, a full pyodide distribution includes both the Python interpreter and key anchor packages from the scientific computing stack. Parts of it are fetched as needed by the user’s browser, by default, from the official pyodide CDN.

The --pyodide CLI option (or alternately pyodide_url config option or JUPYTERLITE_PYODIDE_URL environment variable) allows for fetching either a compressed pyodide .bz2, or folder containing such an archive’s contents. This might be from the official pyodide release page, a nightly or PR asset, or otherwise customized build. Once fetched, it is copied to the output folder, and configured.
