What are the best options these days for running a Python workshop where you want every attendee to have access to their own copy of a Jupyter notebook?Colab, Binder, GitHub Codespaces - any other good options I should be considering?

@simon What are the criteria? Presumably identical environments, but concurrent live editing too? Or actually copies where everyone gets their own?

@simon Maybe JupyterLite? https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/I was surprised recently to the resources available for free through public notebooks on Kaggle. 4 CPUs + 30GB of RAM?https://www.kaggle.com/docs/notebooks#the-notebooks-environment

@simon In the past I used Colab and it generally just worked fine.I never used Jupypter within Codespaces, but sounds like an even better set-up, especially if you want to use VSCode for editing.

@simon it would be potentially expensive but AWS has services for this. SageMaker, Glue, and EMR can all surface Jupyter notebooks in a certain way. A small EMR cluster can be configured with JupyterLab and you can have multiple users. It’s been a while since I set it up but it should still be possible.

@simon I found self hosting The Littlest JupyterHub https://tljh.jupyter.org/en/latest/ best because of flexibility and account management. Paste list of usernames, attendees can set their own password or none on the first login. After the workshop delete the VM and done.Downside: People don't have an environment afterwards and this can inhibit them from experimenting. But not having to wait for people to create accounts, wait for confirmation mails and so on is worth it to me.

@simon PythonAnywhere would definitely be worth considering. You can use their free tier, and they offer bulk account creation to set it up. https://www.pythonanywhere.com/#id_education_details

@simon AWS Sagemaker Notebooks can do it, because we use it at work for that, but I don't know how that compares to the other options. It really depends how big a machine you need to run a copy of the notebook for everyone on what the cost is, and if you run one Notebook Server, the only thing separating users is you'd give them differently named notebooks.

@simon I noticed yesterday that anaconda have a cloud version Also last week I discovered that colab notebooks can inherit some odd quirks from google drive that can affect file uploads. Google accounts can also be weirdly limited if they began as student accounts

@janeadams Everyone gets their own copy, as little friction as possible, and ideally free

@simon I'd look at Kaggle and Paperspace (Gradient) too, depending on the need.

@simon @alexcg Probably not the right answer, but you might have "local Docker image" anchoring one side of your spectrum of choices. My SWAG is that Colab has an edge over the others in terms of Session 0 setup.

@simon The easiest options that I've found is "The littlest jupyter hub" https://tljh.jupyter.org/en/latest/ For a small course you can host it on any cloud hoster and it is probably cheaper than Kubernetes based https://z2jh.jupyter.org/en/stable/

Also just found this: https://github.com/github/codespaces-jupyter - click "Use this template" -> "Open in a codespace" and you get a full in-browser VS Code interface where you can open existing notebook files (or create new ones) and start playing with them straight away

@simon There's also DataCamp workspaces, which I haven't used yet but am looking into: https://www.datacamp.com/workspace. Maybe not be ideal for a workshop, but in a semester-long course I teach, all of my students have a free DataCamp accounts, so could work in that context.
