Thanks @sandtler, that is a good point - I have updated the instructions in the first comment.

I suggest putting the service file in /etc/systemd/system/, not /usr/lib/systemd/system/. The latter is only for system units installed from the distribution package manager, while the one in /etc is for user-defined ones. It will make no difference in terms of functionality, but prevent conflicts with any package that might happen to install a jupyter.service in the future. Reference: systemd.unit(5)

If you need environment variables for Tensorflow GPU work, and .bashrc usually does the job for you, you need to somehow make those available to the Jupyter service, or else Notebooks that need the GPU won't be able to see it.

Not sure this is the best way, but it's the way I got it to work:
