JupyterHub: How to persist user data when using GitHub Oauth + DockerContainer?

[Kenneth Tran]

1. How can I map `/home/user` in the container to `some_directory/user` in the host server?
2. How to automatically create `some_directory/user` and run some init script when a user first signs in?

Thanks

Assuming you are using DockerSpawner, you would use:

c.DockerSpawner.volumes = {
    '/some_directory/{username}': 'in_container/mountpoint'
}

{username} will be replaced with the user’s name.

If you subclass Authenticator, the .add_user method is called when new users are added. You can ensure the directory is created at this point. Alternately, you can do this in your Spawner in start by ensuring the directory exists and has the right ownership prior to launching the container.
