Managing Jupyter Lab Extensions

As an OpenSARLab Jupyter Lab user, you have limited access to third-party extensions.

  • Server extensions must be installed in the OpenSARLab Docker container and cannot be installed by users.
  • Lab extensions can be installed, enabled, and disabled from the terminal but they will not persist across server restarts and will need to be reinstalled.
  • If you feel that OpenSARLab is lacking an important Jupyter Lab extension, please contact us to request it at uaf-jupyterhub-asf@alaska.edu
