You may instruct the `start-notebook.sh` script to customize the container environment before launching the notebook server.
You do so by passing arguments to the `docker run` command.
### User-related configurations
- `-e NB_USER=<username>` - The desired username and associated home folder.
Default value is `jovyan`.
Setting `NB_USER` refits the `jovyan` default user and ensures that the desired user has the correct file permissions
for the new home directory that gets created at `/home/<username>`.
For this option to take effect you must run the container with `--user root`, set the working directory `-w "/home/${NB_USER}"`
and set the environment variable `-e CHOWN_HOME=yes`.
- `-e NB_USER=jovyan` - Instructs the startup script to change the default container username from `jovyan` to the provided value.
Setting this variable causes the script to rename the `jovyan` user home folder.
For this option to take effect, you **must** run the container with `--user root`, specify the working directory `-w /home/${NB_USER}`
and set the environment variable `-e CHOWN_HOME=yes` (see below for more details).
This feature is useful when bind-mounting host volumes onto specific home directories.
- `-e NB_UID=1000` - Instructs the startup script to [switch the numeric user ID](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#user) of `${NB_USER}` to the given value.
This feature is useful when bind-mounting host volumes with specific owner permissions.
You **must** run the container with `--user root` for this option to take effect.
Example usage:
```bash
docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 -e NB_USER="my-username" -e CHOWN_HOME=yes -w "/home/${NB_USER}" --user root jupyter/base-notebook:latest
```
- `-e NB_UID=<numeric uid>` - Instructs the startup script to switch the numeric user ID of `${NB_USER}` to the given value.
Default value is `1000`.
This feature is useful when mounting host volumes with specific owner permissions.
For this option to take effect, you must run the container with `--user root`.
(The startup script will `su ${NB_USER}` after adjusting the user ID.)
Instead, you might consider using the modern Docker-native options [`--user`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#user) and
[`--group-add`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#additional-groups) - see the last bullet in this section for more details.
- `-e NB_GID=100` - Instructs the startup script to change the primary group of`${NB_USER}` to `${NB_GID}`
(the new group is added with a name of `${NB_GROUP}` if it is defined; otherwise, the group is named `${NB_USER}`).
This feature is useful when bind-mounting host volumes with specific group permissions.
For this option to take effect, you **must** run the container with `--user root`.
You might consider using modern Docker options `--user` and `--group-add` instead.
See bullet points regarding `--user` and `--group-add`.
- `-e NB_GID=<numeric gid>` - Instructs the startup script to change the primary group of `${NB_USER}` to `${NB_GID}`
(the new group is added with a name of `${NB_GROUP}` if it is defined, otherwise the group is named `${NB_USER}`).

The user is added to the supplemental group `users` (gid 100) to allow write access to the home directory and `/opt/conda`.
If you override the user/group logic, you must ensure the user remains in the `users` group if you want them to be able to modify files in the image.

- `-e NB_GROUP=<name>` - The name used for `${NB_GID}`, which defaults to `${NB_USER}`.
Used only if `${NB_GID}` is specified and completely optional: there is only cosmetic effect.
- `--user 5000 --group-add users` - Launches the container with a specific user ID and adds that user to the `users` group so that it can modify files in the default home directory and `/opt/conda`.
You can use these arguments as alternatives to setting `${NB_UID}` and `${NB_GID}`.
This is only used if `${NB_GID}` is specified and completely optional: there is only cosmetic effect.
### Permissions-related configurations
- `-e NB_UMASK=<umask>` - Configures Jupyter to use a different `umask` value from default, i.e. `022`.
For example, if setting `umask` to `002`, new files will be readable and writable by group members instead of just writable by the owner.
Wikipedia has a good article about [`umask`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask).
While the default `umask` value should be sufficient for most use cases, you can set the `NB_UMASK` value to fit your requirements.
_Note that `NB_UMASK` when set only applies to the Jupyter process itself -
you cannot use it to set a `umask` for additional files created during run-hooks.
For example, via `pip` or `conda`.
If you need to set a `umask` for these you must set `umask` for each command._

For example, if setting umask to `002`, new files will be readable and writable by group members instead of the owner only.
[Check this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) for an in-depth description of `umask` and suitable values for multiple needs.
However, the default value of `022` should fit most situations.

- `-e CHOWN_HOME=yes` - Instructs the startup script to change the `${NB_USER}` home directory owner and group to the current value of `${NB_UID}` and `${NB_GID}`.
This change will take effect even if the user home directory is mounted from the host using `-v` as described below.
Note that the change is **not** applied recursively by default.
You can modify the `chown` behavior by setting `CHOWN_HOME_OPTS` (e.g., `-e CHOWN_HOME_OPTS='-R'`).

- `-e GRANT_SUDO=yes` - Instructs the startup script to grant the `NB_USER` user passwordless `sudo` capability.
You do **not** need this option to allow the user to `conda` or `pip` install additional packages.
This option is useful, however, when you wish to give `${NB_USER}` the ability to install OS packages with `apt` or modify other root-owned files in the container.

### Additional runtime configurations
- `-e GEN_CERT=yes` - Instructs the startup script to generates a self-signed SSL certificate and configure Jupyter Notebook to use it to accept encrypted HTTPS connections.
- `-e GEN_CERT=yes` - Instructs the startup script to generate a self-signed SSL certificate and configure Jupyter Notebook to use it to accept encrypted HTTPS connections.
- `-e DOCKER_STACKS_JUPYTER_CMD=<jupyter command>` - Instructs the startup script to run `jupyter ${DOCKER_STACKS_JUPYTER_CMD}` instead of the default `jupyter lab` command.
See [Switching back to the classic notebook or using a different startup command][switch_back] for available options.
This setting is helpful in container orchestration environments where setting environment variables is more straightforward than changing command line parameters.

- `-e RESTARTABLE=yes` - Runs Jupyter in a loop so that quitting Jupyter does not cause the container to exit.
This may be useful when installing extensions that require restarting Jupyter.
- `-v /some/host/folder/for/work:/home/jovyan/work` - Mounts a host machine directory as a folder in the container.
This configuration is useful for preserving notebooks and other work even after the container is destroyed.

Useful when you want to preserve notebooks and other work even after the container is destroyed.
**You must grant the within-container notebook user or group (`NB_UID` or `NB_GID`) write access to the host directory (e.g., `sudo chown 1000 /some/host/folder/for/work`).**
- `--user 5000 --group-add users` - Launches the container with a specific user ID and adds that user to the `users` group so that it can modify files in the default home directory and `/opt/conda`.
You can use these arguments as alternatives to setting `${NB_UID}` and `${NB_GID}`.
- `-e JUPYTER_ENV_VARS_TO_UNSET=ADMIN_SECRET_1,ADMIN_SECRET_2` - Unsets specified environment variables in the default startup script.
The variables are unset after the hooks have been executed but before the command provided to the startup script runs.
- `-e NOTEBOOK_ARGS="--log-level='DEBUG' --dev-mode"` - Adds custom options to launch `jupyter lab` or `jupyter notebook`. This way, the user could use any option supported by `jupyter`.
