Running a jupyter notebook remotely

Here are the simple steps to analyse data residing on a remote server using jupyter notebook:

1. Login to the remote server and open a screen/tmux session
2. Start jupyter notebook with jupyter-notebook --no-browser and note the token (you will need this in step 4)
3. From a separate terminal, run this command ssh -N -f -L localhost:8889:localhost:8888 <username@remote.server.name>. You will need to enter your password on the remote server, but you will not get a remote shell; the command maps the remote port (by default 8888) to a local port (8889 is used here).
4. Once this session is established, open the page: http://localhost:8889/ in a web browser, and paste in the token from step 2
5. You should now have a working jupyter notebook, where the calculations are performed on the remote server
