Matt McCormick 3f86381329 Add badges with image size and layers
This uses the MicroBadger badge service. It allows prospective image users to
quickly get an idea of the size of an image from glancing at the README.

# Jupyter Notebook Scientific Python Stack + Tensorflow
## What it Gives You
* Everything in [Scipy Notebook](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/master/scipy-notebook)
* Tensorflow for Python 2.7 and 3.5 (without GPU support)
## Basic Use
The following command starts a container with the Notebook server listening for HTTP connections on port 8888 without authentication configured.
```
docker run -d -p 8888:8888 jupyter/tensorflow-notebook
```
## Tensorflow Single Machine Mode
As distributed tensorflow is still immature, we currently only provide the single machine mode.
```
import tensorflow as tf
hello = tf.Variable('Hello World!')
sess = tf.Session()
init = tf.initialize_all_variables()
sess.run(init)
sess.run(hello)
```
## Notebook Options
The Docker container executes a [`start-notebook.sh` script](../base-notebook/start-notebook.sh) script by default. The `start-notebook.sh` script handles the `NB_UID` and `GRANT_SUDO` features documented in the next section, and then executes the `jupyter notebook`.
You can pass [Jupyter command line options](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/projects/jupyter-command.html) through the `start-notebook.sh` script when launching the container. For example, to secure the Notebook server with a password hashed using `IPython.lib.passwd()`, run the following:
```
docker run -d -p 8888:8888 jupyter/tensorflow-notebook start-notebook.sh --NotebookApp.password='sha1:74ba40f8a388:c913541b7ee99d15d5ed31d4226bf7838f83a50e'
```
For example, to set the base URL of the notebook server, run the following:
```
docker run -d -p 8888:8888 jupyter/tensorflow-notebook start-notebook.sh --NotebookApp.base_url=/some/path
```
You can sidestep the `start-notebook.sh` script and run your own commands in the container. See the *Alternative Commands* section later in this document for more information.
## Docker Options
You may customize the execution of the Docker container and the Notebook server it contains with the following optional arguments.
* `-e PASSWORD="YOURPASS"` - Configures Jupyter Notebook to require the given plain-text password. Should be combined with `USE_HTTPS` on untrusted networks. **Note** that this option is not as secure as passing a pre-hashed password on the command line as shown above.
* `-e USE_HTTPS=yes` - Configures Jupyter Notebook to accept encrypted HTTPS connections. If a `pem` file containing a SSL certificate and key is not provided (see below), the container will generate a self-signed certificate for you.
* `-e NB_UID=1000` - Specify the uid of the `jovyan` user. Useful to mount host volumes with specific file ownership. For this option to take effect, you must run the container with `--user root`. (The `start-notebook.sh` script will `su jovyan` after adjusting the user id.)
* `-e GRANT_SUDO=yes` - Gives the `jovyan` user passwordless `sudo` capability. Useful for installing OS packages. For this option to take effect, you must run the container with `--user root`. (The `start-notebook.sh` script will `su jovyan` after adding `jovyan` to sudoers.) **You should only enable `sudo` if you trust the user or if the container is running on an isolated host.**
* `-v /some/host/folder/for/work:/home/jovyan/work` - Host mounts the default working directory on the host to preserve work even when the container is destroyed and recreated (e.g., during an upgrade).
* `-v /some/host/folder/for/server.pem:/home/jovyan/.local/share/jupyter/notebook.pem` - Mounts a SSL certificate plus key for `USE_HTTPS`. Useful if you have a real certificate for the domain under which you are running the Notebook server.
## SSL Certificates
The notebook server configuration in this Docker image expects the `notebook.pem` file mentioned above to contain a base64 encoded SSL key and at least one base64 encoded SSL certificate. The file may contain additional certificates (e.g., intermediate and root certificates).
If you have your key and certificate(s) as separate files, you must concatenate them together into the single expected PEM file. Alternatively, you can build your own configuration and Docker image in which you pass the key and certificate separately.
For additional information about using SSL, see the following:
* The [docker-stacks/examples](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/master/examples) for information about how to use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) certificates when you run these stacks on a publicly visible domain.
* The [jupyter_notebook_config.py](jupyter_notebook_config.py) file for how this Docker image generates a self-signed certificate.
* The [Jupyter Notebook documentation](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/public_server.html#using-ssl-for-encrypted-communication) for best practices about running a public notebook server in general, most of which are encoded in this image.
## Conda Environments
The default Python 3.x [Conda environment](http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html) resides in `/opt/conda`. A second Python 2.x Conda environment exists in `/opt/conda/envs/python2`. You can [switch to the python2 environment](http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html#change-environments-activate-deactivate) in a shell by entering the following:
```
source activate python2
```
You can return to the default environment with this command:
```
source deactivate
```
The commands `jupyter`, `ipython`, `python`, `pip`, `easy_install`, and `conda` (among others) are available in both environments. For convenience, you can install packages into either environment regardless of what environment is currently active using commands like the following:
```
# install a package into the python2 environment
pip2 install some-package
conda install -n python2 some-package
# install a package into the default (python 3.x) environment
pip3 install some-package
conda install -n python3 some-package
```
## Alternative Commands
### start-singleuser.sh
[JupyterHub](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io) requires a single-user instance of the Jupyter Notebook server per user. To use this stack with JupyterHub and [DockerSpawner](https://github.com/jupyter/dockerspawner), you must specify the container image name and override the default container run command in your `jupyterhub_config.py`:
```python
# Spawn user containers from this image
c.DockerSpawner.container_image = 'jupyter/tensorflow-notebook'
# Have the Spawner override the Docker run command
c.DockerSpawner.extra_create_kwargs.update({
'command': '/usr/local/bin/start-singleuser.sh'
})
```
### start.sh
The `start.sh` script supports the same features as the default `start-notebook.sh` script (e.g., `GRANT_SUDO`), but allows you to specify an arbitrary command to execute. For example, to run the text-based `ipython` console in a container, do the following:
```
docker run -it --rm jupyter/tensorflow-notebook start.sh ipython
```
This script is particularly useful when you derive a new Dockerfile from this image and install additional Jupyter applications with subcommands like `jupyter console`, `jupyter kernelgateway`, and `jupyter lab`.
### Others
You can bypass the provided scripts and specify your an arbitrary start command. If you do, keep in mind that certain features documented above will not function (e.g., `GRANT_SUDO`).
