PyData London meetup group lightning talk slides on getting an ipython notebook with the scipy stack and custom packages running in a notebook server in 5 minutes.

1. USING DOCKER FOR DATA
SCIENCE

2. WHY DOCKER
Portable environment
Isolated between projects
Stateless
Fast local file access
Hetrogenous

3. GET DOCKER
https://docs.docker.com/installation/
boot2docker .dmg or .exe
apt-get install docker.io ...

4. RUN SCIPYSERVER
$ docker run -d -e "PASSWORD=YourPassword?" ipython/scipyserver
$ docker run
-d
-e "PASSWORD=YourPassword?"
--name dev_notebook
-p 443:8888
ipython/scipyserver
https://localhost:443
https://{boot2docker ip}:443

5. CREATE DATA-ONLY CONTAINERS
$ docker run
-d
-v ~/notebooks:/notebooks
--name notebooks_container
ubuntu
echo notebooks
$ docker run -d -v ~/data:/data --name data_container ubuntu echo data

6. MOUNT DATA-ONLY CONTAINERS
$ docker stop dev_notebook
$ docker rm dev_notebook
$ docker run
-d
-e "PASSWORD=YourPassword?"
--name dev_notebook
-p 443:8888
--volumes-from data_container
--volumes-from notebooks_container
ipython/scipyserver

7. CREATE A DOCKERFILE
FROM ipython/scipyserver
MAINTAINER Calvin Giles <calvin.giles@gmail.com>
COPY requirements.txt /requirements.txt
RUN pip2 install -r /requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r /requirements.txt
$ docker build
-t calvingiles/ds-notebook
.
$ docker run
-d
-e "PASSWORD=YourPassword?"
--name dev_notebook
-p 443:8888
--volumes-from data_container
--volumes-from notebooks_container

8. NEXT TIME
Connecting to local database containers
Tweaking the boot2docker vm memory from 2GB to 8 (or
more...)
Linking to private git repositories
Automated builds with github linking
