Django and Jupyter notebook app

Hello Guys,

I thought of an idea where I want to create a Django website that has a Jupyter notebook implemented inside Django.

The reason for this is I want to write Data Analytic function that captures data from X year until now and stays current. The data captured gets cleaned and then stored into a database on Django for later use for machine learning.

Problem is, my skills are a bit lacking with Django and I only recently started learning how everything works.

Question is, is this even possible to do with Django and Jupiter notebook? What kind of server do I need to do this, can it be on a budget or can I use a generic server to do something like this?

Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

Kind Regards.

I'm actually trying to do the exact same thing. What I'm doing instead of implementing Jupyter into my Django site is to use Python Anywhere for hosting + Jupyter Notebook. My database just contains the URL of the Jupyter Notebook on Python Anywhere. It's not ideal, but that's what I've got for now.
