Try building JupyterHub with Docker

Before

At PyCon 2015, iPython (Jupyter) Notebook is indispensable for various people! So I thought I'd install it for the time being, but I didn't have enough Japanese information that I tried Jupyter Saba with Docker, so I'll share the work record.

install docker

Since Debian 8 (Jassie) is the mother ship,

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D

bash:/etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

# Debian Jessie
deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo debian-jessie main

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-engine
$ sudo usermod -a -G docker yi01

• Yi01 is my user name. Please reread as appropriate.

Creating a Docker image for JupyterHub

There are some traps here.

First, it's on Docker Hub

• jupyter/jupyterhub

There is no implementation around authentication, so you need to create jupyterhub_config.py and define the authentication method etc. using the -v option of docker.

However, it is troublesome to make various things from scratch, so I will use example using OAuth on GitHub prepared by jupyter.

$ git clone https://github.com/jupyter/oauthenticator.git
$ cd oauthenticator

Now, edit the userlist according to the README.

+YusukeIwaki admin

As a caveat, if you just edit the userlist, with docker build

cp: cannot stat ‘/srv/ipython/examples’: No such file or directory
chown: cannot access ‘/home/YusukeIwaki/examples’: No such file or directory

I get an error like this and it gets moss, so I will edit the shell script a little. After editing,

$ cd example
$ docker build -t jupyter/oauthenticator .

So, if you get a Succeed-like log,

GitHub OAuth settings

At GitHub Settings Screen

Set like this. Please read the callback host name and port number as appropriate. After registering the OAuth authentication information on the GitHub site side, enter the Client ID and secret obtained there.

$ docker run -it -p 8001:8000 --env-file=env jupyter/oauthenticator
