Jupyter token setup / noise in terminal log from Jupyter server

[evalieungh]

When the LSP is running, the terminal window logs what is happening. But it keeps generating lines like these all the time, which makes it harder to see other more important messages that get buried after a short while. Can we suppress these messages somehow?

@evalieungh there's an open issue on the jupyter server repo jupyter-server/jupyter_server#1245 (comment)

Thanks for linking this and taking it up with Jupyter directly, @daeh.

Quoting myself from the Jupyter issue: Hi! In the stackoverflow question, someone suggested setting LAB_TOKEN="test".
I just tried changing --LabApp.token='' to --LabApp.token='test' in my Dockerfile and then re-build the Jupyter container with docker-compose up --build, and it seems to fix the problem!

So this can be fixed with our Dockerfile for the Jupyter server, it seems.

New development: Not sure if everyone gets this, but when starting the jupyter server I now need to log in with a token or set up a password. Not sure how to do this, but guessing it should be coded into the LSP somehow:
