researchlab

You will find information to launch a docker with the necessary resources to start a python notebook.

The goal is to have a reproducible working environment.

Once the docker image is running you can open notebook saved locally.

How to build and start the container?

You need to the run the script:

$path/researchlab/docker.sh

that will simply build the image or add modifications to existing docker image (e.g. to add a missing Python module) by calling the following docker command docker build . -t image_name. Each time this command is ran, if the docker container is already active, it will ask you if you want to re-start it.

How to stop the container?

Run the command:

$docker container ls

which should return the list of active docker containers:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
49c44c77ed46        researchlab         "/bin/sh -c /researc…"   16 minutes ago      Up 16 minutes       8888/tcp            random_name

then do

$kill docker random_name

How to open local notebook from notebook server on docker?
