Roadmap

[krischer]

• [x] Finish #33 (@sebnoe @krischer)
• [x] Docker base image (@megies)
  • [x] pre-built custom Docker image on binder works well
  • [ ] big data files can be included in pre-built Docker image by modifying docker_baseimage/Dockerfile.seismo-live-base and building a new base image (hosted on docker hub)
  • Python environment will be stable and stay at consistent module version numbers, ensuring the notebooks keep working, after being verified once
  • currently notebooks inside the started binder can be updated manually by starting a Terminal in the jupyter notebook and doing e.g. git pull. No automatic update to current master right now
• [x] Auto-generate index page (@krischer)
• [ ] Public relations and 💵 (@heinerigel)
• [ ] Add new notebooks (@heinerigel)
• [ ] Find a nice solution for the animations (@sebnoe)

@sebnoe i can not ever get mybinder to start, actually. Not on master and not on binder_dockerfile. Last time you said it works for you just taking long sometimes, what exactly were you doing to get it started?

@heinerigel @krischer @sebnoe

Switching to a fully static install using pre-built docker images is ready now.

seismo-live can basically started in usually 40 secs to 2mins on mybinder.org: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/krischer/seismo_live/binder_dockerfile

I think #36 can be merged.

The way forward could be:

• change the seismo-live website
  • move to a different host (since LRZ shuts down the current hosting next week)
  • auto-generate index page (links to notebooks will have to filled in dynamically with the URL response from mybinder.org, see below)
  • change how jupyter is embedded
    • when clicking "launch a new notebook" the website can start a binder via binderhub API on mybinder.org in the background
    • individual notebooks in the directory tree can directly link to the notebooks by inspecting the ready HTTP response, e.g. linking to https://hub.gke.mybinder.org/user/krischer-seismo_live-yhz2uk7m/notebooks/seismo_live/notebooks/Ambient%20Seismic%20Noise/Probabilistic%20Power%20Spectral%20Densities.ipynb

Other changes can come after this step, I think..

• jupytext setup
• notebook testing in CI
• fix animations and individual notebooks

The only point which is still a bit unclear is whether we need to and/or how to best update notebooks when the pre-built docker image is started. But this is a secondary issue, for now we can just build a new docker base image if we want the notebooks updated. See https://github.com/krischer/seismo_live/tree/binder_dockerfile/docker_baseimage#final-setup-steps-in-docker

@krischer is there an easy option to have an interim website for seismo-live.org hosted at LRZ that will just provide a link to https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/krischer/seismo_live/binder_dockerfile instead of the current tmpnbserver getting started in LRZ cloud?
