Hello, @Roy_Dragseth

I’m creating a custom image using below `Dockerfile`  
This image based on the [tensorflow-notebook](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/blob/1494233e27cdc70e3766ea2518e7153ee425fc4f/images/tensorflow-notebook/Dockerfile) image.

```auto
FROM quay.io/jupyter/tensorflow-notebook

COPY --chown=${NB_UID}:${NB_GID} requirements.txt /tmp/
RUN pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt && \
    fix-permissions "${CONDA_DIR}" && \
    fix-permissions "/home/${NB_USER}"

COPY overrides.json ${CONDA_DIR}/share/jupyter/lab/settings/overrides.json

```
