my personal ipython notebook

Brief

This will allow you to deploy an unlimited number of ipython notebook docker instances to a dokko-configured server. In other words.

1. Clone this repository
2. Add a dokku remote endpoint
3. Push

That's it. You'll have an ipython notebook (with no bells or whistles) running at the subdomain you've defined at your dokku remote.

Details

1. Get an instance & domain setup. If you're new to digital ocean, sign up using my referral: https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=67d148a44422. It's cheaper than EC2 in my experience. Use your own DNS though as theirs takes a long time to propagate.

2. Follow this tutorial to setup dokku on DigitalOcean: https://medium.com/code-adventures/438bce155dcb

3. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/richstoner/ipython-dokku.git

4. Add a dokku remote endpoint

   git remote add dokku git@YOURDOMAINHERE:ipython

5. Push to the new endpoint

   git push dokku master

6. Wait a few moments (~80 seconds), then visit your new ipython notebook running in docker, via dokku, on digital ocean.

   http://ipython.YOURDOMAINHERE

Remember - this is a barebones install of ipython notebook, but once it's running, you can easily install additional python dependencies via pip within the notebook itself.

Next steps

1. Package a few more modules so it doesn't require extra installs within the notebook
2. Add a password configuration script
3. Write a frontend that does steps 2-5 for you.
