Mount a local data directory into jupyterhub

JupyterHub
1

I build and run jupyterhub a docker image. https://hub.docker.com/r/joergklein/jupyterhub

Is it a good idea to mount in the Dockerfile

# Create a mountpoint
VOLUME /data

or is it better to mount to

# Create a mountpoint
VOLUME /home/data

I have a local data dir on my computer. I will mount the data dir into the container /data or /home/data.

At first I download and install the image

docker run -p 8000:8000 -d --name jupyterhub joergklein/jupyterhub jupyterhub

Second I will mount the datasets dir. into the data dir. In the dataset dir are a lot of csv files.

docker run -v /home/user/datasets:/data -t jupyterhub /bin/bash

How do I mount the data dir correctly?

This works fine for me.

docker run -p 8000:8000 -d --name jupyterhub --volume $(pwd)/datasets:/data joergklein/jupyterhub jupyterhub
