Customizing your Deployment#

The Helm chart used to install your JupyterHub deployment has a lot of options for you to tweak. For a semi-complete reference list of the options, see the Configuration Reference.

Applying configuration changes#

The general method to modify your Kubernetes deployment is to:

Make a change to your config.yaml.

Run a helm upgrade:

helm upgrade --cleanup-on-fail \
  <helm-release-name> jupyterhub/jupyterhub \
  --namespace <k8s-namespace> \
  --version=<chart-version> \
  --values config.yaml

Note that helm list should display <YOUR_RELEASE_NAME> if you forgot it.

Verify that the hub and proxy pods entered the Running state after the upgrade completed.
```
NAMESPACE=jhub

kubectl get pod --namespace $NAMESPACE
```

For information about the many things you can customize with changes to your Helm chart through values provided to its templates through config.yaml, see the Customization Guide.
