Look at Jupyterhub. It allows spawning custom notebook servers (not just
notebook).

Running jupyter notebook on a server is very insecure. You may want to run
it in a docker container, or run each notebook in docker container for
isolation.

There is a service tmpnb for providing temporary jupyter notebooks. You can
probably just use that if that fits your need or look at it and see if you
can modify it to suit your needs.
