nsathaye/qiskit-dev repository overview

⁠qiskit-docker

• This repo 'dockerizes' the development version of qiskit-terra⁠, aqua⁠ and aqua-chemistry⁠

⁠Pre-requisites

• docker: To build a docker image, you need to have docker installed and start the docker service. Also make sure to set appropriate user permission to run docker. Visit the docker website⁠ for OS specific instructions. If you are running Windows 7, you will need to install docker toolbox⁠

• This has been tested on Linux.

⁠Docker image

• The docker image can be pulled directly from dockerhub: docker pull nsathaye/qiskit-dev. See https://hub.docker.com/r/nsathaye/qiskit-dev/⁠ for more information.
• If you choose to build the docker image, read the next section.

⁠Building the docker image using Dockerfile

• Make sure that pre-requisites are in place.
• Download (and extract the zip file) or git clone this repository.
• cd to the directory and then execute:
  docker build -t qiskit-dev .

⁠Starting a Jupyter notebook container

• You can then start the jupyter notebook within the docker container as:
  docker run -it -p 8888:8888 docker.io/nsathaye/qiskit-dev
  OR if you have built the image yourself, then:
  * docker run -it -p 8888:8888 qiskit-dev
• The earlier step should print a URL. Just copy-paste the in the browser of your host machine. For example:
  

docker run -it -p 8888:8888 docker.io/nsathaye/qiskit-dev

 Copy/paste this URL into your browser when you connect for the first time,
 to login with a token:
     http://localhost:8888/?token=92b26e1a09ef2968cc5cc39c36bec1b1eba081ce9f4f15f5

On windows 7, when you start the docker toolbox, it should print the ip in the command prompt with a message such as: "docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.x.x.x.x .. . Just use that 192.x ip it prints , instead of "localhost"
