How to connect JupyterHub with WEkEO Drive
The WebDAV protocol provides a framework for users to create, share, access and move documents on a server.
This tool can be useful to store your work in the WEkEO Drive, and to share your work between users.
In case you would like to move your files or folders, you can perform these steps:
First, you will need to set up a password for your WEkEO Drive. By clicking your profile at the top right, you can click on the settings. Here, you can go to Security and create a new password for the WEkEO Drive.
Note: This is not the same password as the WEkEO one.
Create a new Jupyter notebook in your JupyterHub.
Install the package webdavclient3 as shown below:
!pip install webdavclient3
This package provides an easy way to work with WebDAV servers.
Then, the configuration of the client is needed. Required keys for configuring client connection with WevDAV server are
webdav_hostname
andwebdav_login
,webdav_password
.from webdav3.client import Client options = { 'webdav_hostname': "<your_webdav_hostname>", 'webdav_login': "<your_username>", 'webdav_password': "<your_password>" } client = Client(options) client.list()
The
webdav_hostname
can be found by clicking Settings at the bottom left of the WEkEO Drive homepage. Thewebdav_login
is the WEkEO username, andwebdav_password
is the password configured in the first bullet point.After setting the client, one can upload your files/folders to the WEkEO Drive by just using the following command:
client.upload_sync(remote_path="<path_JupyterHub>", local_path="<path_WEkEO_Drive>")
Following this, one will see a new file/folder in the WEkEO Drive. If you would like to share it, you can share the link through WEkEO Drive.
In case you would like to perform the inverse approach, you can send data from the WEkEO Drive to the JupyterHub using the following command:
client.download_sync(remote_path="<path_JupyterHub>", local_path="<path_WEkEO_Drive>")
