Jupyter Docker Stacks are a set of ready-to-run Docker images containing Jupyter applications and interactive computing tools.

We value all positive contributions to the Docker stacks project, from bug reports to pull requests to translations to help answering questions. We'd also like to invite members of the community to help with two maintainer activities:

• Issue triage: Reading and providing a first response to issues, labeling issues appropriately, redirecting cross-project questions to Jupyter Discourse
• Pull request reviews: Reading proposed documentation and code changes, working with the submitter to improve the contribution, deciding if the contribution should take another form (e.g., a recipe instead of a permanent change to the images)

Anyone in the community can jump in and help with these activities at any time. We will happily grant additional permissions (e.g., ability to merge PRs) to anyone who shows an on-going interest in working on the project.

You can try a recent build of the jupyter/base-notebook image on mybinder.org by simply clicking the preceding link. Otherwise, the two examples below may help you get started if you have Docker installed know which Docker image you want to use, and want to launch a single Jupyter Notebook server in a container.

The User Guide on ReadTheDocs describes additional uses and features in detail.

Example 1: This command pulls the jupyter/scipy-notebook image tagged 17aba6048f44 from Docker Hub if it is not already present on the local host. It then starts a container running a Jupyter Notebook server and exposes the server on host port 8888. The server logs appear in the terminal. Visiting http://<hostname>:8888/?token=<token> in a browser loads the Jupyter Notebook dashboard page, where hostname is the name of the computer running docker and token is the secret token printed in the console. The container remains intact for restart after the notebook server exits.

docker run -p 8888:8888 jupyter/scipy-notebook:17aba6048f44

Example 2: This command performs the same operations as Example 1, but it exposes the server on host port 10000 instead of port 8888. Visiting http://<hostname>:10000/?token=<token> in a browser loads JupyterLab, where hostname is the name of the computer running docker and token is the secret token printed in the console.::

docker run -p 10000:8888 jupyter/scipy-notebook:17aba6048f44

Example 3: This command pulls the jupyter/datascience-notebook image tagged 9b06df75e445 from Docker Hub if it is not already present on the local host. It then starts an ephemeral container running a Jupyter Notebook server and exposes the server on host port 10000. The command mounts the current working directory on the host as /home/jovyan/work in the container. The server logs appear in the terminal. Visiting http://<hostname>:10000/?token=<token> in a browser loads JupyterLab, where hostname is the name of the computer running docker and token is the secret token printed in the console. Docker destroys the container after notebook server exit, but any files written to ~/work in the container remain intact on the host.

docker run --rm -p 10000:8888 -e JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes -v "$PWD":/home/jovyan/work jupyter/datascience-notebook:9b06df75e445
