How to reverse proxy jupyter:

server {
    ...
       location ^~ /__lab__/ {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:9068/;
            # include /etc/nginx/includes/lab.conf;

            # this line is only useful for the sandbox!
            rewrite /(.*) /sandbox/$1  break;

            error_page 502 /lab/502.html;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_redirect off;

Generate a jupyter password "hash", in python (3) ...

 python

<source lang="python">
from IPython.lib import passwd
print(passwd("yourspecialpassword"))
</source>

In a (new) jupyter config file:

  nano ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

 c.NotebookApp.base_url = '/__lab__/'
 c.NotebookApp.port =9068
 c.NotebookApp.trust_xheaders = True
 c.NotebookApp.port_retries = 0
 c.NotebookApp.password = 'password_hash_from_python_above'
 c.NotebookApp.allow_remote_access = True
