Setting up jupyterhub on AWS EC2 with Github users

After a week of on/off effort I have successfully deployed the Jupyterhub server with Github auth for pykids .

Here are the steps and reference to guides I followed:

1. Get EC2 instance — use a large volume ~= 100 GB is a good start
2. Refer to steps in Ref #1
3. Creating SSL certificates and using them with JupyterHub as described in Ref #1

4. Changing docker installation directory
