Changelog

v0.13

Bug Fixes

Fix slice support by making it a configurable option

v0.12

New Features

Allow setting which Systemd Slice users' services should belong to. This lets admins set policy for all JupyterHub users in one go. [Thanks to @mariusvniekerk]

Bug Fixes

Handle failed units that need reset. [thanks to @RohitK89]
Fix bug in cleaning up services from a previously running JupyterHub. [thanks to @minrk]

v0.11

New Features

Username templates let you map jupyterhub usernames to different system usernames. Extremely useful for prefixing usernames to prevent collisions.

Bug fixes

Users' home directories now properly read from pwd database, rather than assumed to be under /home. Thanks to @cpainterwakefield for reporting & suggested PR!

v0.10

Breaking changes

use_sudo option is no longer supported. It offered questionable security, and complicated the code unnecessarily. If 'securely run as normal user with sudo' is a required feature, we can re-implement it securely later.
If a path in readonly_paths does not exist, spawning user will now fail.

New features

Dynamic users support, creating users as required with their own persistent homes with systemd's dynamic users feature. Useful for using with tmpnb.
Add additional properties to the user's systemd unit with unit_extra_properties. Thanks to @kfix for most of the work!

Bug fixes

If a user's notebook server service is already running, kill it before attempting to start a new one. GitHub Issue
