radanalyticsio/base-notebook repository overview

⁠base-notebook

This is a container image intended to make it easy to run Jupyter notebooks with Apache Spark on OpenShift. You can use it as-is (by adding it to a project), or you can use it as the basis for another image. In the latter case, you'll probably want to add some notebooks, data, and/or additional packages to the derived image.

⁠Usage

⁠As a standalone image

For your convenience, binary image builds are available from Docker Hub.

• Add the image radanalyticsio/base-notebook to an OpenShift project.
• Set JUPYTER_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD in the pod environment to something you can remember (this step is optional but highly recommended; if you don't do this, you'll need to trawl the logs for an access token for your new notebook).
• Create a route to the pod.

⁠As a base image

• As nbuser (uid 1011), add notebooks to /notebooks and data to /data.
• This process should be easier in the future; stay tuned!

⁠Notes

Make sure that this notebook image is running the same version of Spark as the external cluster you want to connect it to.

⁠Credits

This image was initially based on Graham Dumpleton's images⁠, which have some additional functionality (notably s2i support) that we'd like to incorporate in the future.
