The UID of created user should be set to the UID of the user that will
be running the image/container to set appropriate permissions on files
within notebooks directory. Default 1000 should be ok for users using
the default account created while installing linux.
I gave up on enabling DT visualization for the moment, as graphviz integration
stopped working... I can't run dot in the image any more, receiving:
Could not load "/opt/conda/lib/graphviz/libgvplugin_pango.so.6" - file not found
As far as I was able to diagnose thats (with ldd), that's because libiconv.so.2
is not available. But according to what I see in mailgroups that should not be
needed (on debian at least)...
- rearranged a Dockerfile to allow for incremental build
- switched running from root to "default new user"
- added the (easy to opt-out) configuration to use blank password
- added python-graphviz which enables DT visualization in notebooks
- added nbdime for "sensible notebook comparison"
- added custom command to "nbdiff" a notebook with its checkpointed version
- added simple README.md
