Jupyter Notebook to pdf/html file

less than 1 minute read

If you would like to create a pdf/html from your jupyter notebook, you can use the handy nbconvert tool of jupyter. Here is how you can use it.

Setup

  • Make sure you have jupyter and nbconvert installed in your activated python virtual environment. You can install nbconvert by just this command: pip install nbconvert

Converting a notebook into PDF

jupyter nbconvert --to pdf yourNotebook.ipynb

  • This generates a PDF via your system’s latex (or more specifically xelatex) command. So, make sure you have these installed in your system otherwise the nbconvert will fail.

Converting a notebook into HTML

jupyter nbconvert --to html yourNotebook.ipynb

  • This exports a html version of the jupyter notebook.

Converting a notebook into WebPDF

jupyter nbconvert --to webpdf yourNotebook.ipynb

  • This generates a PDF by first rendering to HTMMLM, and rendering the HTML chromium headless, and exporting to PDF. The exporter supports the same template as --to html. The webpdf exporter requires the playwright Chromium automation library, which can be installed via pip install nbconvert[webpdf] command.

Managing SSL Certificates with Amazon AWS Lightsail instance with Apache2 webservice

This post is for enabling a SSL certificate for free from Cloudflare.com. Say, you purchased a domain name (e.g., example.com from Godaddy). Now, you want an inexpensive way to host your website. Again, say you hosted the website at Amazon AWS Lightsail (either $3.50/mo or $5.00/mo as of the time of writing) with configuration like: {Platform: Linux/Unix, blueprint:Os only, OS:Ubuntu 22.04}. You then bind a AWS provided static IP with the instance and create a DNS zone with couple of DNS records like: {A records:[Record name:example.com,Route traffic to:1.2.3.4],[Record name:*.example.com,Route traffic to:1.2.3.4]}. Also assign the created DNS zone to the instance. Finally, copy the AWS provided list of Name servers into Godaddy’s Nameservers management page for your purchased domain while removing existing ones. And, you host your website files with Apache2 in your Lightsail instance. Here is a post I wrote on how to configure a site with apache2.
