Goals of the Initialisation phase

The Jupyter4NFDI central service will initially be hosted at JSC but designed to allow for future migration to other hosting providers using standard software stacks and deployment methods. External resources such as IAM4NFDI and cloud-based Kubernetes clusters and UNICORE-based HPC systems will be connected to the central JupyterHub, with comprehensive documentation provided for future integration with additional resources. The service aims to ensure sustainability by prioritising compatibility with the wider Jupyter ecosystem, utilising generic customisation facilities, contributing changes upstream, and maintaining continuous communication with providers of external resources.

Goals of the Integration phase

Jupyter is an important pillar for achieving comprehensible and reproducible scientific results. The platform also provides access to various computing and data resources that can be accessed via a single entry point, the JupyterHub, for the scientific community in Germany and beyond. The service will continue to develop the service in response to requests from researchers, consortia and, particularly, the incubator projects. This approach has already proven successful in the initial phase and has led to features such as the repo2docker integration, the use of custom Docker images and shareable links for Jupyter configurations. On this sound basis, we will generate content that can be used for end-user and multiplier training in the communities. The content addresses Jupyter itself, the FAIR principles and how they can be implemented using Jupyter. Domain-specific information and best practices from the consortia will also be integrated.
