SageMath docker image + mybinder.org

[de...@benjamin-hackl.at]

Hey all,

I really liked the way of making code accessible via a repository or gist containing a bunch of notebooks together with a simple Dockerfile that has not much more than "FROM sagemath/sagemath:version" in it -- but this is something that broke down a while ago (https://github.com/sagemath/sage-binder-env/issues/9, couldn't find a trac ticket).

Now, I don't speak Jupyter well enough to understand why it doesn't still work, but I've found that if, instead of using notebook from SageMath's venv, one installs Python 3 + Jupyter separately in the container and links the SageMath kernel to it, the docker images *can* still be used with mybinder. I've left details here: https://github.com/sagemath/sage-binder-env/issues/9#issuecomment-1317769194, mybinder link: https://mybinder.org/v2/gist/behackl/a5d25c901ec557565f99331b130f09a2/HEAD.

Is there something particular about SageMath's Jupyter notebook configuration that might cause this; any ideas?

Best,

Benjamin

Thanks for sharing! It's very nice that we can have mybinder + Sage working again!

PS: I confirm that your solution works for the notebooks of https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/examples.html

The start up is quite long, but if one is patient enough, it works!

There is also a working solution with conda (see the environment.yml file in https://github.com/sagemath/sage-binder-env)

I checked the dockerfile (with 10.0 and replacing noteobook by jupyterlab) and besides some missing icons it works. It is nice to have several alternatives. In conda I could add optional packages; is it possible with this new dockerfile? Thanks, Enrique.
