Data Storage & Backup

Information on how data is stored, and how you can manage your files

Data Storage

All user data, including notebooks, datasets, and other files, are stored in your personal directory within the JupyterHub.nrw environment. Each user has access to a home directory that is private and accessible only to the user.

Data Storage Limits

Each user is provided with a predefined amount of storage in their home directory. Please note that the storage limit is X GB. If your usage exceeds this limit, you may need to remove files or request additional storage. Notifications will be sent to you as you approach the limit.

External Storage Options

In addition to the built-in storage within JupyterHub.nrw, users can also connect external storage services such as Sciebo for data exchange and alternative storage solutions. This allows you to store large datasets externally and access them directly from your JupyterHub environment.

Recommendations for Users

Regularly back up important notebooks and datasets to an external service, such as Sciebo or another cloud provider.
Use version control systems like Git to track changes to your notebooks and code, especially when collaborating with others.
Organize your files and directories in a way that makes it easy to locate important data.
