Is there a way to disable saving to checkpoints for Jupyter Notebooks?

Question

I am working in an environment where writing to the disk space with a folder name like .ipynb_checkpoints is disallowed.

Unfortunately, this is Jupyter Noteb

Answer 1

Not exactly an answer to your question, but perhaps close enough.

The path of the checkpoints folder is configurable so you could rename it to something allowed such as "_ipynb_checkpoints", or you could move it to a completely different folder.

You simply have to add

c.FileCheckpoints.checkpoint_dir = '_ipynb_checkpoints'

to jupyter_notebook_config.py
