Can't create Jupyter pods due to length of username

[durandom]

Usernames can be longer than 42 characters, e.g. mapping username from Active Directory or mapping the email address.
In this case the constructed name for the pod in the Jupyter stateful set exceeds the 63 character limit of kubernetes for labels.

statefulset-controller create Pod jupyter-nb-Luhwvfk2nyoLopbjs71aw-2dsxSenuawajyrftbyhktba-0 in StatefulSetjupyter-nb-luhwvfk2nyolopbjs71aw-2dsxSenuawaiyrftbyhktba failed error: Pod "jupyte
r-nb-luhwvfk2nyolopbis7iaw-2ds×5enuawaiyrftbyhktba-o" is invalid: metadata. labels: Invalid value:
"jupyter-nb-Luhwvfk2nyoLopb]s7iaw-2d5x5enuawaiyrftbyhktba-f9ccb69cg"; must be no more than 63 characters

Is there any workaround currently available, other than making sure that the username does not exceed 42 characters?

isnt that something as the label controller-revision-hash created on statefulset pod automatically by k8s, which append extra 10 characters?
plus the suffix "jupyter-nb-" with 10 characters, and the limitation of k8s that label with max 64 characters,
so the user name can only limit to 63-10-10 = 43

[durandom]

Correct. I think this limit is too short, eg if you have the UID of active directory or an email as the username.
Would be better if the username gets hashed to avoid that limit

Thanks for pointing me to this.
I would have to take a look at our kubeflow-notebook controller level, to get this fixed.

should we transfer this issue to https://github.com/opendatahub-io/kubeflow?

I am currently facing this issue when trying to create a Jupyter notebook. My username is an email address that consists of 30 characters. After encoding, it has 41 characters. In total, the route name would be 93 characters long.
Is there any workaround to access the Jupyter notebooks?
