jupyter-server-fileid
Jupyter Server extension providing an implementation of the File ID service.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need file ID tracking within Jupyter Server. The extension has low install friction and a permissive license. However, the aging maintenance status (last release 707 days ago, minimal repository activity) suggests limited ongoing development—install only if the feature is essential to your workflow and you are comfortable with minimal future updates.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Jupyter Server to be installed and running; Python 3.7 or later
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 707 days ago, though the repository remains unarchived with a recent commit on 2026-02-10.

What it is and what it does
jupyter_server_fileid is a Jupyter Server extension that implements a File ID service. It runs as a server-side component within Jupyter Server and depends on jupyter-events and jupyter-server. The extension allows Jupyter environments to assign and track stable identifiers for files, enabling other components to reference files by a consistent ID rather than by path.
The package is installed via pip and automatically registers itself as a server extension. It is designed to work with Jupyter Server-based applications like JupyterLab. The extension requires Python 3.7 or later and supports versions through 3.10.
Use it for
- Enable file tracking and referencing by stable ID in JupyterLab or other Jupyter Server applications
- Support collaborative editing or multi-user scenarios where file paths may change but identity must persist
- Integrate with other Jupyter extensions that need to reference files by a canonical identifier
- Track file operations and events through the jupyter-events system for audit or monitoring purposes
