Docker

The VIBE notebooks can be run within a Docker container by using the included Dockerfile to create a local image of the VIBE environment. The Dockerfile is based on the docker-stacks SciPy notebook example provided by Jupyter. Commands for running the Jupyter notebooks with Docker are given below.

# Build a Docker image from the Dockerfile
# Run this command from within the folder containing the Dockerfile
# In this example the image will be named `myimage`
docker build -t myimage .

# Create and run a new container and publish its ports to the host machine
# In this example the created container is named `myvibe`
docker run --name myvibe -it -p 8888:8888 myimage bash

# From within the container run JupyterLab using the command shown below. This
# command will create a URL that can be copied and pasted into the web browser
# of the local machine.
jupyter lab --ip 0.0.0.0 --no-browser --allow-root

# Atlernatively you can create, run docker container and jupyterlab using the
# command below. The generated URL can be copied into web browser of local
# machine.
docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 -e JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes -v "$PWD":/home/jovyan/work myimage

To quit the Jupyter notebook, choose File then Shutdown from the JupyterLab menu. Then, quit the Docker container by entering the exit command in the terminal.

Use the following commands to restart the container and run JupyterLab.

# Start the existing `myvibe` container and run JupyterLab from the container
# Don't forget to copy and paste the URL into your local web browser
docker start myvibe
docker exec -it myvibe bash
jupyter lab --ip 0.0.0.0 --no-browser --allow-root

# After exiting the container terminal session with `exit`, stop the running
# container with the following command
docker stop myvibe

# If `myvibe` was successfully stopped, it will not show in the list of running
# containers. View the list of running contains with the `ps` command.
docker ps

The Docker image and container take up several gigabytes of storage on the local machine. To remove the container and image from your computer, perform the commands shown next.

# Remove the `myvibe` container
docker rm myvibe

# Next, remove the Docker image named `myimage`
docker rmi myimage
