Jupyter Notebooks with Docker

Purpose

This gist explains how to run the Jupyter Notebooks server and Python kernel within a Docker container instead of installing it locally.

Instructions

Run the following command where <local_notebooks_dir> is the directory where you store your Jupyter Notebooks on your local machine. This directory will be exposed within the Jypter Notebooks web client.

docker run -p 8888:8888 -v <local_notebooks_dir>:/home/jovyan jupyter/minimal-notebook

To access the Jupyter Notebooks client, follow the instructions printed out to the terminal window once the container starts.

There is a great tutorial on using Jupyter Notebooks here: https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tutorial/

For more details about the container, review the Dockerfile: https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/blob/master/minimal-notebook/Dockerfile
