Thoughts on how to run iJavaScript on mybinder? about ijavascript HOT 4 OPEN

For anyone else looking to run your project on mybinder, I made an instance that fixes a few of the issues I noticed with https://hub.docker.com/r/datainpoint/ijavascript-notebook

Plain:

Pre-loading the example.ipynb

Writeup is here: https://github.com/paulroth3d/docker_jupyter-ijavascript-utils

TLDR:

Either make a DockerFile similar to the following:

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1

FROM darkbluestudios/jupyter-ijavascript-utils:amd_1.0.1

Or, if you'd like to update to have your own npm modules pre-installed:

• make your own Docker image, adding in package.json and package-lock.json
• Create a Dockerfile and look at this Dockerfile for what was used there

from ijavascript.

I've been looking briefly into the documentation, from the great zero-to-binder tutorial

and found in their readme that they support things outside of just requirements.txt - pointing to docs on repo2docker

There it seems like there might be two options:

• Provide a docker file
• Or do something like an apt.txt to install node and then run a postBuild

I noticed that there was a pull request #192 that seemed accepted (test/ijavascript-base-notebook-latest/Dockerfile) but then removed.

(...although it seems there is a ... copy stored in a gist)

I was curious what the current thoughts were,
or if there was an image on dockerhub I missed

from ijavascript.

@n-riesco - would rather ask - would this be okay to close?

I also put a comment on #196

as it seems like some work has been done there a bit, if you'd like to put in a comment there too.

@paulroth3d First of all, apologies for my silence (I keep forgetting about open issues like yours, when I can't act on them right away 😞 ).

I've labelled this issue as a question (I'm using this label as temporary FAQ before I rehaul the README).

Thank you for all the work you've put. It looks impressive in many ways. I want to give it more visibility in the README (I will leave this issue open as a reminder for me to do so).
