I thought I'd leave a comment in case another Docker newbie finds this gem, as it's not immediately clear how to use it.

Here's what I did on my Mac:

1. Install Docker (https://www.docker.com/get-docker)
2. mkdir ~/docker_notebook
3. cd ~/docker_notebook
4. Copy the gist contents into file Dockerfile
5. docker build . -t notebook
6. docker run -p 8888:8888 -v ~/docker_notebook:/notebook notebook

Then open a browser on the Mac pointing to http://localhost:8888. Any notebooks I save in the web interface will be in the ~/docker_notebook directory.

The output from the docker run ... command states Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation). but that doesn't work. I needed to issue a docker stop <container_id> after getting the <container_id> from a docker ps.
