TLDR;

seeing how I can embed existing notebook repos into this nifty jupyter-heroku deploy repo.

story do far...

• cloned both repos
• copied entire notebook repo into ./notebooks/
• Can specify conda requirements in environment.yml and pip deps as well. See https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/conda/conda-buildpack, there is a 300Mb limit. dependencies are listes in notebook repo. these are jupyter, PIL, matplotlib, pandas, seaborn, xlrd, scikit-learn. pip deps are beuatifulsoup glypy mechanize. all added to environment.yml
• git add README.md ./notebooks environment.yml
• add conda_runtime.txt (as I happen to need python2)
• git commit -m "awesome message"
• git push origin master
• go to github repo and use heroku deploy button

heroku-jupyter

Use this application to deploy Jupyter Notebook to heroku or CloudFoundry. If a postgres database is available, pgcontents is used as notebook storage.

Quick start

Jupyter will not start, if the environment variable JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD was not set.

If you want to customize your app, easiest is to fork this repository.

Installation instructions

heroku - automatic deployment

If you forked this repository, you can link it to your heroku app afterwards.

heroku - manual deployment

Push this repository to your app or fork this repository on github and link your repository to your heroku app.

Use the heroku-buildpack-conda:

$ heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/pl31/heroku-buildpack-conda.git -a <your_app>

Jupyter notebook will not start until the environment variable JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD is set. Use a good password:

$ heroku config:set JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD=<your_passwd> -a <your_app>

If you are really sure, that you do not want a password protected notebook server, you can set JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD_DISABLED to DangerZone!.

CloudFoundry

• Clone this repository
• Create a postgres database service with name jupyter-db
• Deploy using cf push
• Set JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD using cf set-env. Do not forget to restart application.

Environment variables

• JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD: Set password for notebooks
• JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD_DISABLED: Set to DangerZone! to disable password protection
• JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_ARGS: Additional command line args passed to jupyter notebook; e.g. get a more verbose logging using --debug

Python version

If you want to use a special python version, you should set it in your environment.yml:

name: root
dependencies:
  - python=2.7
  - ...
