MongoNotebookManager 0.1.5

Setting up

First, run

pip install MongoNotebookManager

Then, when you start ipython notebook, make sure you have the following config settings in place. This module will save your notebooks and checkpoints to mongodb, and supports an unlimited number of checkpoints.

NotebookApp.notebook_manager_class=mongo_notebook_manager.MongoNotebookManager

MongoNotebookManager.mongo_uri='mongodb://localhost:27017/'

MongoNotebookManager.replica_set=''

MongoNotebookManager.database_name='ipython'

MongoNotebookManager.notebook_collection='notebooks'

MongoNotebookManager.checkpoint_collection='checkpoints'

Why did I build this?

I was setting up IPython Notebook on heroku, and ran into the problem where heroku will remove the extra files after a while. Having used mongodb quite thoroughly before, and knowing the existence of the free mongodb host (up to 500mb, which I believe is more than enough for most users of IPython Notebook), mongolab, I decided to write a module that will enable persistence of the notebooks on heroku, hence this plugin.
