Getting docker to run

[mdeloge]

Steps made to make docker work on Linux Elementary OS based on Ubuntu 14.04:

git checkout https://github.com/opengridcc/opengrid.git //if not yet done

docker run -d -p 8888:8888 -v /home/matteus/Github/opengrid/:/usr/local/opengrid --name opengrid-release opengrid/release:latest

/home/matteus/Github/opengrid/ : Path to local opengrid folder, change to own path

Browser: go to http://localhost:8888

docker run -d -p 8888:8888 -v $(pwd -P):/usr/local/opengrid --name opengrid-release opengrid/release:latest

actually, I set up something comparable a couple of weeks ago: https://hub.docker.com/r/wouterh/opengrid/

I didn't know there was an official opengrid organisation on docker hub :-)

There wasn't such an organisation, but I thought it made sense.

The only difference between your docker setup and the current version is that we have created two separate docker repo's for release and dev images. We also adapted your run shell scripts to be more fool proof (stopping and/or removing existing container if any) and to echo the IP address on which the notebook server is accessible.

Thanks for your great docker setup! roel

I was thinking we could maybe have something similar to the execution of jupyter notebook, where it opens your browser on the correct page when you run the command. Do you think that would be possible? You run ./docker-run.sh and it opens your browser automatically and drops you in the correct place?

yep, seems possible and a great idea indeed!

I will improve our docker setup. I hope to accomplish this:

• include the ipython notebooks that are in our opengrid release: they are in the source distribution, but don't get installed by pip. I'll check it out, probably something in the manifest
• open browers automatically as proposed by @JrtPec

For opengrid-release

• copy those notebooks to the /usr/local/opengrid/notebooks folder in the docker container: this means that even without mounting anything, you get access to all our notebooks
• when an additional path is mounted, it will be mounted to /usr/local/opengrid/user. This allows to mount any notebook in the container and vice versa: work on a notebook and have it on your computer hard drive when the container is stopped or removed.

For opengrid-dev

• just mount the pwd in /usr/local/opengrid as is currently done.

opengrid-website

This should also be containerized entirely. It has to be a different container, and mounted on a different port. This will drastically lower the threshold for new website contributors and offline testing.
