JupyterHub Data Loss Incident
CUAHSI — Community Statement | April 2026
In early April 2026, we experienced a data loss incident in our JupyterHub system. This does not affect data stored in the HydroShare data repository, only data within sandboxed JupyterHub instances. In an effort to be fully transparent about what occurred, we’re providing a brief summary of the event, changes we’ve made to our maintenance practices, as a reminder of how to best manage your scientific data.
