Mounting server data on each user's pod

Binder
2

Basically, we do not want the user to have right access to our server, that is why repo2data wold be launch on the server every time any user upload a new repository.

The process could be seen as it:

  1. A user upload his work (a notebook), which is using some databases (from https://openneuro.org/ for example).
  2. He provides in the repo a configuration file data_requirements.json , which specify where the data lives
  3. After the docker image is built, we launch repo2data from our server which will read user’s data_requirements.json
  4. The database is downloaded on a folder /data on our server (if it is not already existing on our server)
  5. /data is accessible as read-only by every users (every notebooks running on our binder).
