Very rougly, JH is right now an authenticating reverse proxy. Every user gets basically a single-user notebook running in a separate process (possibly on a different machine). The upside is that it is simple and if you can run a single-user notebook then you can also run JH, and it scales much easier. The downside is that communication between different users (like collaborative editing) is more difficult / currently missing.
The minimal sensible JH install for a classroom, say, would be * Jupyter hub running as a service * A bunch of unix accounts, one per stundent Authentication for unix users is already baked into JH. A docker image with that would probably not be difficult to make, though I haven't had time to try it. And if you can't run a docker image nowadays then you shouldn't expose stuff to the network.
