Problem

Wanting to create a new JupyterLab on Jupyverse instance, passing by the conversation in #301, I've found a nice example on how to run the authentication dependency Fief through Docker Compose.

• Docker Compose - Fief

As a Jupyverse user, I am now left to imagine the same for it.

Proposed Solution

Add a section about running Jupyverse in a container to the documentation page

• Install - Jupyverse

Additional context

This assumes the existence of an example Container image capable of running the Jupyverse collaboration server, best enriched with a useful Compose environment.

JupyterLab has top-level support from Docker, as seen in the official guide Data science with JupyterLab | Docker Docs.

Jupyverse should be similarly easy to employ as the jupyter/docker-stacks.

I was able to run Jupyverse with this patch

on top of jupyter/docker-stacks@996fae12 with these commands:

cd  images/base-notebook
podman build --format docker -t jupyverse .
podman run --rm -it -e NOTEBOOK_ARGS="--set auth.mode=token" -p 8000:8000 jupyverse start-singleuser.py

While it was possible to create and save a notebook which returned upon reopening, it was not possible to replicate server side execution.

• Support server-side execution by davidbrochart · Pull Request #279 · jupyterlab/jupyter-collaboration

• Release v3.0.0alpha2 · jupyterlab/jupyter-collaboration

Needs further investigation.

[almereyda]

The installation of the collaboration features should probably be their own FROM: overlay, plus the addition of the two associated --set parameters/of the different entrypoint.

Also I was unsure which entrypoint to apply, both start-notebook.py and start-singleuser.py didn't really fit, other than for the default --auth.mode=noauth mode. Should we delete both and start anew with start-jupyverse.py?
