One liner to create Docker container for Jupyter notebook usage and data analysis on roadrunner (Xserve):

docker run -p 8888:8888 -v /Users/sam/gitrepos/LabDocs/jupyter_nbs/sam/:/notebooks -v /Users/sam/data/:/data -v /Users/sam/analysis/:/analysis -it kubu4/bioinformatics:v11 /bin/bash

This does the following:

• Maps roadrunner port 8888 to Docker container port 8888 (for Jupyter notebook access outside of the Docker container)
• Mounts my local Jupyter notebooks directory to the

  /notebooks

  directory in the Docker container

• Mounts my local data directory to the

  /data

  directory in the Docker container

• Mounts my local analysis directory to the

  /analysis

  directory in the Docker container

These commands allow me to interact with data outside of the Docker container.
