# Jupyter

This example will show how to run a jupyter notebook server with nginx, from a container (singularity container in this case).

- perhaps you ran an analysis when you created the container, and want to serve the notebook as a result) or
- perhaps you want this to be like a working container, to store a particular version of your software to use on local files

If you are interested in more proper container orchestration with [singularity-compose](https://singularityhub.github.io/singularity-compose/), see the [singularity-compose jupyter example](https://github.com/singularityhub/singularity-compose-examples/tree/master/jupyter-simple) that can more easily handle adding other containers as services, volumes, etc.

## Branches

- [Windows Filesystem Support](https://github.com/singularityhub/jupyter/tree/cifs) A basic example for Windows Filesystem Support is on this cifs branch.

## Getting Started

If you haven't installed singularity, do that with [these instructions](http://singularity.lbl.gov/install-linux). Then download the repo if you haven't already:

```bash
git clone https://www.github.com/singularityhub/jupyter
cd jupyter
```

Let's now create a jupyter notebook!
First, we will create the writable container image in a _writable_ *ext3* file system, instead of the *squashfs* which only allows _read-only_. [read more](http://singularity.lbl.gov/docs-build-container)

```bash
$ sudo singularity build --sandbox jupyter-box Singularity
```

Then to run our container, since we need to write files to `/opt/notebooks` inside the container, we must use sudo and add the `--writable` command:

```bash
$ sudo singularity run --writable jupyter-box
```

When we open the browser, we see our server! Cool!

**Important** using this container requires the allow-root flag, which isn't great practice.
If you really need to run a notebook in a container, you might be better off building one
that installs the notebook with your user (e.g. see [this Docker example](https://github.com/hpsee/discourse-cluster/blob/master/Dockerfile) that could be translated to Singularity). You would want to change
the user jovyan to your username. If you can, you can also just use Docker! EIther you
can use the image linked there, or you can check out [repo2docker](https://github.com/jupyter/repo2docker) to build
a custom container.

Since the notebooks are being written to the image, this means that all of our work is preserved in it. I can finish working, close up shop, and hand my image to someone else, and it's preserved. Here, I'll show you. Let's shell into the container after we've shut down the server (note that I didn't need to use sudo for this).

```bash
sudo singularity shell jupyter-box
Singularity: Invoking an interactive shell within container...

Singularity.jupyter.sif> ls /opt/notebooks
Untitled.ipynb
```

There it is! I really should work on naming my files better :) That is so cool.

You can also map to a folder on your local machine, if you don't want to save the notebooks inside:

```bash
sudo singularity run -B $PWD:/opt/notebooks --writable jupyter-box
```

and here I am sitting in my local directory, but the entire software and depdencies are provided by my container. STILL really cool.

## Note on port forwarding
If you are running Singularity in Windows through vagrant, you will need to configure port forwarding in the Vagrantfile that you use to set up the Singularity container as well. 
As an example, you should add a line that might look like this.
`config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8888, host: 8888, host_ip: "127.0.0.1"`
