Unable to launch Jupyter notebook "Setting up proxy to JupyterLab"

Question

I created a VM Instance (n1-standard-8) for a project. I was using AI Platform > Workbench (Jupyter Notebook). I was able to read the data from Cloud storage and process it. After 2 months, I tried to start the notebook and clicked on 'OPEN JUPYTERLAB'. It just spins up saying "Setting up proxy to Jupyterlab".

• Environment: Kaggle Python
• Machine Type: n1-standard-8 (8 vCPUs, 30 GB RAM)

What is the possible issue?

PS: New to Google Cloud

Answer 1

One possible solution is to create a new VPC without adding the DNS rules for the various notebooks endpoints. Then, use the configured network with a new notebook instance clicking the “OPEN JUPYTERLAB” URL.

You can see more information here.

Another possible thing that could be happening if you check your logs is an error that shows this “ - Required 'compute.instances.get' permission for project'”. This happens because you are using the non-default service account that you specified during the notebook creation. So the solution to this is to use the default service account.
