That was *only* for a public notebook server. If you're using secure=True and accounts=False, so only people with existing accounts can us the notebook server, there is no reason to use a chroot. Moreover, the standard wisdom in security is that it is in fact never ever in any case ever a good idea to use a chroot for security purposes. Thus one should never do that for the Sage notebook. The only acceptable thing for a public server is to use a virtual machine (say virtualbox or vmware).
