Continuing the discussion from PyCon 2019 and mybinder.org : For a similar use case, I’ve been thinking of building ‘The Littlest Binder’ (maybe as a plugin to The Littlest JupyterHub ). Note it says ‘Binder’ and not ‘BinderHub’ and that is intentional! The idea is that you can set up a machine that…

Yes… the plugins look like a really useful thing… And made me wonder… If I have binder directory with conda.yml file (for example), then it should be relatively to figure out what I’d need to put into an environment customisation plugin?

[image] psychemedia: And made me wonder… If I have binder directory with conda.yml file (for example), then it should be relatively to figure out what I’d need to put into an environment customisation plugin? Yep! In fact, I’ve already written most of the code for that in https://github.com/p…

Just trying to keep up by explaining to myself what I think this all means / makes possible / requires! :wink:

Hi @yuvipanda (Sorry it’s taken me so long to play with this!) This looks perfect for the case studies in the Turing Way! It seemed super fast to load too, which is great from a user perspective! Thank you for developing it :sparkles: What would the installation look like if I wanted something lik…

Glad you like it, @sgibson91 This is currently optimized for running on a single node only. I think having it be the way you have running - with a binderhub installation limited to one repo only - is the easiest way to run this on an autoscaling Kubernetes cluster. A lot of the performance optimiza…

Ok that’s good to know. Though I guess at the moment, we’re not sure how popular the book is going to be! We could monitor this for a few months and see how many people are actually using the Binder links in the book (yet to come!). It may be more cost-effective for us to run a littlest BinderHub de…

Awesome :slight_smile: Keep me posted. @mathematicalmichael I’d love for you to take a look at the demo too, and see if this is what you had in mind. I’m mostly trying to gauge interest in repo2dockerspawner so I can prioritize it appropriately.

Hey @yuvipanda thank you for pinging me! I hadn’t seen the updates to this thread yet! @choldgraf mentioned a way to use regex (clarified by @sgibson91 ) to achieve a similar result with a fork of littlest-binderhub. I believe the use case they mention regarding the lack of resources on mybinder.or…

@mathematicalmichael Not sure how relevant this is but I recently tried wrapping a Jupyter Book in an electron app shell and it seemed to work okay against a local kernel. This provides the advantage of being able to distribute the static textbook elements in self serving, cross platform way (in p…

very cool! that’s certainly an interesting approach, (perhaps thinking too far ahead here), but having the ability for a student to open up a website on an ipad and have their “textbook” be there is a real appeal. I know jupyterlab still isn’t quite up to par on that device, but lots of websites mos…

Would a "The Littlest Binder" be useful?
