Jupyter Notebook is an open source web application environment used to create and share documents containing code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. Use cases include data visualization, statistical modeling and machine learning.
Singularity provides a basis for repeatability with a container runtime that does not require root owned daemon or allow escalation of user privilege when ran. With it’s single file image format (SIF) Singularity is ideal for BYOE science (bring your own environment) and for the mobility of compute with deep learning applications.
We’ll use the following Singularity definition file when building Jupyter:
Bootstrap: library
From: debian:9
%help
Container with Anaconda (Conda 4.5.11) and Jupyter Notebook 5.6.0 for Debian 9.x (Stretch).
This installation is based on Python 2.7.15
%setup
#Create the .condarc file where the environments/channels from conda are specified,
#these are pulled with preference to root
cd /
touch .condarc

%runscript
jupyter notebook --allow-root "$@"To build the image run the following command:
$ sudo singularity build jupyter.sif jupyter.defThe definition file above has a %post section in which all the dependencies are installed at build time. After that, you can start the container and, it will listen on localhost:8888 by default.
$ singularity run jupyter.sifIf you would like to run it on another port (e.g. 9000) instead you can do so by:
$ singularity run jupyter.sif --port=9000This will run Jupyter Notebook on localhost:9000.
And if you would like to set another hostname use ––ip when running the image:
$ singularity run jupyter.sif --ip=1.1.1.1 --port=9000This will run Jupyter Notebook on 1.1.1.1:9000

There are many different approaches that can be taken when building software. At one end of the spectrum is the extreme caution and conservatism that’s appropriate, for example, of safety critical code used in vehicles or in real-time operating systems. At the other...
