Root access for Jupyter/iPython Notebook

Question

I\'m trying to use the bash kernel in iPython/Jupyter notebook, but I need sudo access within the notebook itself.

I\'ve tried $ sudo jupyter notebook to ru

Answer 1

When I need to execute command as root in my notebook, I use the -A flag, that allows to access an helper program used to read the user's password when no terminal is available. You need to modify the sudo.conf file before to declare the helper program. On a Debian Buster, I personnaly added:

Path askpass: /usr/libexec/seahorse/ssh-askpass

See the main page of sudo.conf for more information.
