Remote jupyter kernel/kernels administration utility (the rk): https://github.com/korniichuk/rk

1. Install the rk from GitHub:

   $ sudo pip install git+git://github.com/korniichuk/rk#egg=rk

2. Setup SSH for auto login without a password:

   $ rk ssh

3. Install a template of a remote jupyter kernel:

   $ rk install-template

4. Change the kernel.json file:

   $ sudo gedit /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/template/kernel.json

For example from remote_username@remote_host to albert@192.168.0.1.
