All, can anyone please provide a full example about how to start a notebook with a different user than jovyan? I’ve read this doc https://jupyter-docker-stacks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using/common.html
but there is no example related and it seems it is mandatory to run the container as root:
"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
"
Thanks!
Are you referring to the user inside the docker container or on the host machine?
The user inside the docker container…
then check the docker recipe (Dockerfile
) where that user is created and set up. The user jovyan
is also used for displaying Jupyter Notebooks online.
