How do I set up an SSL certificate for Jupyter Notebook?

To set up an SSL certificate for Jupyter Notebook, you'll need to generate a self-signed certificate or obtain one from a certificate authority.

Can you guide me through generating a self-signed certificate?

Sure! You can use OpenSSL to generate a self-signed certificate. Run the following command: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout mykey.key -out mycert.crt -days 365 -nodes.

What do I do with the generated key and certificate?

You need to configure Jupyter to use these files. Edit your Jupyter configuration file (usually found at ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py) and set the following options: c.NotebookApp.certfile = 'path/to/mycert.crt' and c.NotebookApp.keyfile = 'path/to/mykey.key'.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Make sure to restart Jupyter Notebook after making these changes. You should now be able to access it securely via HTTPS!
