<li>[https://youtu.be/tqgqFbxd7rg Uptime Kuma | Fancy service and server monitoring] (Video)
<li>Since I like to use Uptime Kuma to monitor servers using IPs from my tailscale, I need to expose host's network to the container. That is, I would use something like "docker run -d --network host louislam/uptime-kuma" or
<pre>
services:
  uptime-kuma:
    image: louislam/uptime-kuma:1
    container_name: kuma
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
    network_mode: "host"  # Use host network mode
    restart: always
</pre>
Note
* In host network mode, the container shares the network stack of the host directly, bypassing Docker's network isolation.
* The container can access all host network interfaces directly.
* Any ports exposed by the container are automatically accessible on the host without explicit port mapping.
* Port mapping is not applicable when the container is using host network. In host network mode, the container shares the network stack of the host system directly, bypassing Docker's network isolation.

== Distrobox & BoxBuddy ==
<ul>
<li>https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox (in the 'Installation' section there is a table. It seems the green color is used to show which Linux distributions has the latest version of distrobox)
* Idea: Distrobox uses containerization technologies like '''Podman, Docker''', or '''LXC''' to create '''containers''' with your chosen Linux distribution (Why worry about Podman/LXC?)
* Important: Since it integrated with the host system, '''always back up important data and double-check configurations to avoid unintended changes. Changes may happen when we use a software (eg install R packages) launched from a box.'''
* Practical uses:
** Running GUI Applications from Other Distros (Containers): distrobox-enter fedora-box -- firefox
** Developing and Testing on Multiple Linux Distributions
** Using Up-to-Date Tools on Older Systems
** Lightweight Alternative to Virtual Machines
** Persistent Workflows Across Systems: the created container is tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory (yes, no extra configuration), external storage, USB devices
** Running Different Package Managers: Use Arch's pacman or Fedora’s dnf on a system where apt is the native package manager.
<li>Installation
* Distribution's version
* PPA for Ubuntu https://launchpad.net/~michel-slm/+archive/ubuntu/distrobox
* Installation script provided by distrobox. "curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/install | sudo sh". See [https://idroot.us/install-distrobox-debian-12/ How To Install Distrobox on Debian 12]
<li>[https://www.howtogeek.com/run-any-app-on-any-linux-distro-with-distrobox/ DEB Files on Arch? Run Any App on Any Linux Distro With This Tool]
<li>[https://itsfoss.com/distrobox/#4-integration-of-distrobox-applications Distrobox: Try Multiple Linux Distributions via the Terminal]. The line "distrobox-export --app foliate" gives an error "cannot find any desktop files".
<li> [https://youtu.be/Sj064D9ZUl8 Stop Distro Hopping! Use this AWESOME tool on Linux] 7/15/2023
* Linux subsystem in another Linux
<li>Testing using arch linux container where packages are always updated. Refer to [https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/usage/distrobox-create.md distrobox create] doc for examples.

<li>List of compatible images and container managers, [https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/compatibility.md#containers-distros Compatibility] page.
<li>Some images works fine on my distrobox 1.7.0
* quay.io/toolbx/arch-toolbox:latest
* docker.io/library/archlinux:latest
* registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:35
<li>Change the default container manager. distrobox-create --help.
<pre>
DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER="docker"
</pre>
<li>distrobox-export --app XXX
* This is to export an application to the host system
* It seems there is no way to undo it. We need to enter the guest OS, remove the app and then remove the guest OS from the host.
<li>[https://www.linuxlinks.com/boxbuddy-graphical-manager-distrobox/ BoxBuddy – graphical manager for Distrobox]
* https://www.dvlv.co.uk/BoxBuddyRS/ & https://github.com/Dvlv/BoxBuddyRS. Currently it is 2.3.0
* The advantage is it includes a list of all distributions. Users only need to select one and enter a name for the 'box'.
* Install by '''flatpak install flathub io.github.dvlv.boxbuddyrs''' (no need to download flatpakref file)
* How does the software keep an updated list of images?
* Tested:
** install Debian12,
** install sublime deb inside Debian12 through host's right click button. Sublime can be launched too from "View Applications".
** Upgrade my arch Box (rolling release) works

NOTE
# From [https://hub.docker.com/_/r-base r-base] in DockerHub click the "latest" in the "Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links" section.
# I ran into errors when I use the above (short) Dockerfile. But the Dockerfile from rocker (leave out the last line of launching R) works well. The R packages built in the image include 'docopt', 'magrittr', 'stringi', and 'stringr'.
# Install R package is possible when we launch a container. But we are not able to save the packages?? The [https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/wiki rocker wiki] also mentions something about installing packages.
# See also [https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/wiki/How-to-save-data How to save data] in wiki.
 
== install2.r ==
The '''install2.r''' command can be used to concisely describe the installation of the R package in the Dockerfile. See
[https://rocker-project.org/use/extending.html Rocker project - Extending images]
 
== A quick run of an R script ==
<pre>
docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd):/tmp/working_dir \
  -w /tmp/working_dir \
  rocker/tidyverse:latest \
  Rscript my_script.R
</pre>
 
== docker run ==
Note that if we are using the Dockerfile above to create an image, we will be dropped to the Linux shell. If we are pulling the rocker/r-base image from Docker Hub, we will be in R console directly. See the last line of Dockerfile on [https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/blob/master/r-base/Dockerfile github] website for rocker.
 
Then run the following to do some exercise (We could possibly replace 21b6a9e8b9e8 with your image ID or use ''rocker/r-base''). For simplicity, we can try the [http://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/colortools/index.html colortools package] first which does not depend on other packages and there is no need to compile the package.

== Testing a new R release ==
[https://twitter.com/eddelbuettel/status/1384510084622032900 R 4.1.0]
<pre>
docker pull rocker/r-base:4.1.0
 
alias dkrr='docker run --rm -it -u1000:1000 -v$(pwd):/work -w /work'
dkrr rocker/r-ubuntu:20.04 bash
dkrr r-base:latest R --version | head -1
dkrr r-base:3.6.3 R --version | head -1
 
# Assume we are in a directory called 'curse'
# (Yes you may need to add Depends and LaTeX support ...)
# Even the 'survival' package requires pdflatex in 'R CMD build' step.
# A toy package like https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/QuadRoot/ works
dkrr rocker/r-base:4.1.0 R CMD build .  # this will create curse_1.0.0.tar.gz
dkrr rocker/r-base:4.1.0 R CMD check --no-vignettes --no-manual curse_1.0.0.tar.gz
</pre>
A closer solution is to use ''rocker/verse:4.0.4'' image. But it gives different errors
<ul>
<li>survival: LaTeX Error: File `fancyvrb.sty' not found. </li>
<li>glmnet: dependencies ‘foreach’, ‘shape’ are not available. A workaround solution (need to figure out the dependencies first):
<pre>
$ curl -s https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/glmnet_4.1-1.tar.gz | tar xzv
$ cd glmnet
$ docker run --rm -it -v$(pwd):/work -w /work rocker/verse:4.0.4 bash
# Rscript -e "install.packages(c('foreach', 'shape', 'knitr', 'lars', 'testthat', 'xfun', 'rmarkdown'))"
# su rstudio
$ R CMD build .
$ exit
# exit
</pre>
If we don't install the 'Suggests' packages, building will fail when it was trying to build the vignette. A more relaxed solution is adding the option '''--no-build-vignettes'''
</li>
</ul>
 
== rocker/verse images ==
The [https://rocker-project.org/images/ rocker/verse] images contain the '''curl''' utility & '''libcurl4-openssl-dev''' & '''libxml2-dev''' which are needed when I use the '''groundhog''' package to install packages. The tidyverse images don't include these libraries/utility. Tested on 3.6.3.
 
Note that these versioned images may be using MRAN. For example for rocker/verse:3.6.3,
<pre>

== RStudio in Docker – now share your R code effortlessly!. Markdown ==
https://harini.blog/2019/05/25/rstudio-and-rshiny-in-docker/
 
It is interesting the Dockerfile uses '''install2.r''' (R script with a shebang line) from the [https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/littler/ littler] package to install R packages. See http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/littler.examples.html or [https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/verse/dockerfile rocker/verse] Dockerfile. But it is not clear how to install private R packages (mount host folder and use install.packages()).
 
Note that the tag name should be lower case; awesomer instead awesomeR.
 
Also got an error when trying to build the image: ''Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/InRelease  Temporary failure resolving 'deb.debian.org' ''.
 
Try it again at home. The ''apt update'' part is OK but I still got a new error: ''Error: installation of package ‘gifski’ had non-zero exit status''
 
(Updated 9-18-2020) Try both the long and short commands using the tag '4.0.2' instead of '3.5.1'. Both work. The report file <example_report.pdf> is generated. In this example, the Rmd file is called through an R file. See [https://github.com/jlintusaari/R-docker-report the source code].

** Workshop packages were created using the [https://github.com/seandavi/BuildABiocWorkshop2020?s=09 BuildABiocWorkshop2020] template. From the 'Dockerfile', we see each workshop material is organized as an R package. So each workshop's package is built in the Docker image. There is no need to build the vignette again. NOTE: it takes a while to build the Docker image locally since it requires to compile each R package separately.

** Take the [https://github.com/LieberInstitute/recountWorkshop2020 recount2 workshop] for example, we don't need to knit the Rmd file. To view HTML vignette, we type '''browseVignettes(package="recountWorkshop2020") ''' and click the link "HTML". In case of the requested page was not found error, add '''help/''' to the URL right after the hostname, e.g., http://localhost:8787/help/library/recountWorkshop2020/doc/recount-workshop.html. Another way to open the HTML without any tweak is type "help(package = 'recountWorkshop2020')" -> User Guide -> HTML.
** [https://biocasia2020.bioconductor.org/workshops Bioc Asia 2020]
** The vignette may not include the R code. So the Rmd file is still needed to understand the content or do a practice.

Uptime Kuma

  • Docker, Github
  • Uptime Kuma Docker Setup Guide: Installation and Configuration
  • Uptime Kuma | Fancy service and server monitoring (Video)
  • Since I like to use Uptime Kuma to monitor servers using IPs from my tailscale, I need to expose host's network to the container. That is, I would use something like "docker run -d --network host louislam/uptime-kuma" or
    services:
      uptime-kuma:
        image: louislam/uptime-kuma:1
        container_name: kuma
        volumes:
          - ./data:/app/data
        network_mode: "host"  # Use host network mode
        restart: always
    

    Note

    • In host network mode, the container shares the network stack of the host directly, bypassing Docker's network isolation.
    • The container can access all host network interfaces directly.
    • Any ports exposed by the container are automatically accessible on the host without explicit port mapping.
    • Port mapping is not applicable when the container is using host network. In host network mode, the container shares the network stack of the host system directly, bypassing Docker's network isolation.

Dashboard for monitoring system: grafana

After I change the firewall by adding two ports (9090 & 9100), the docker-compose method of grafana works like a charm.

  • Reboot the host OS will not affect the grafana (assuming we include restart: unless-stopped in the 3 containers). But if we modify docker-compose.yml and run docker-compose down; docker-compose up it will result in data lose and we will need to re-create the admin password and all the setup.

ownCloud

After I use docker run --rm --name myowncloud -p 81:80 owncloud:8.1, I find I can only access it through http://localhost:81. If I try to access it through another computer by http://xxx.xxx.xx.1:81, the URL is changed back to http://localhost:81 so it failed to load.

nextcloud

Nextcloud looks more modern than owncloud though their interface are very similar. I got the same problem (URL is changed from IP to localhost) when I try to access its web from another computer. Using the IP instead of localhost to finish the initial setup can fix the error.

Note:

  • The first we open the webpage, we need to create the admin username/password.
  • Nextcloud uses owncloud mobile application.
  • Nextcloud includes a small mp4 file. I can use browser to play mp4. Photos files can be opened in browsers too (including slideshow).

Add external storage like SAMBA

To connect to a Samba drive in Nextcloud, you will need to use the External Storage app. This app allows you to mount external storage services, including Samba shares, as directories within your Nextcloud instance. Here are the steps to connect to a Samba drive in Nextcloud:

First, make sure that the External Storage app is installed and enabled on your Nextcloud instance. You can do this by going to the Apps section in the Nextcloud admin panel and searching for the External Storage app. If it is not installed, you can install it from there.

Once the External Storage app is installed and enabled, go to the Settings section in the Nextcloud admin panel and select the External Storages option under the Administration section (Left panel, scroll down to see the app).

On the External Storages page, click on the Add storage button and select SMB / CIFS from the dropdown menu.

In the configuration form that appears, enter the details of your Samba share, including the hostname or IP address of the server, share name, username, and password. You can also specify a subfolder within the share if you only want to mount a specific subfolder.

Once you have entered all of the required information, click on the Save button to save your configuration.

Nextcloud Apps

  • "access through untrusted domain" error. On my Casaos, I found the file /DATA/AppData/nextcloud/var/www/html/config/config.php shows trusted domain is casaos.local:10081. So I just need to change the app's setting in CasaOS to use http://casaos.local:10081 instead of http://IP:10081 to open the page.
  • Audio Player. When I play mp3 files, the web interface does not show a progress bar:(
    $ docker run --rm --name mynextcloud -v ~/Downloads/nextcloudapps:/var/www/html/custom_apps -p 81:80 nextcloud
    # above will create an empty folder ~/Downloads/nextcloudapps (www-data:root)
    $ tar xzvf Downloads/audioplayer-2.3.1.tar.gz -C Downloads/
    $ docker cp Downloads/audioplayer mynextcloud:/var/www/html/custom_apps
    # Go to nextcloud and '+Apps', a new app 'Audio Player' should have shown up.
  • Music. GOOD. The app is from the owncloud team though for some reason the app is not included in owncloud/nextcloud. Yes, a progress bar is shown when I played a song downloaded from Youtube:)
    # No need to create a volume
    $ docker run -d --name mycloud -p 81:80 nextcloud
    
    # Open another terminal

    $ tar xzvf ~/Downloads/music_0.7.0_nc-signed.tar.gz -C ~/Downloads/
    $ docker cp Downloads/music mycloud:/var/www/html/custom_apps
    $ docker exec mycloud chmod -R 0750 /var/www/html/custom_apps
    $ docker exec mycloud chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/custom_apps
    Now open the website. Click the gear icon (Settings) and click "Apps". Find out the 'music' app from the bottom of the list and click the 'Enable' button. A new Music icon will be created next to the Gallery icon at the top. Note: if we want to play music repeatedly, I should not play the music directly from Files. I should click the Music icon at the top and let it start to scan musics. Then once I can play a music from there, it will show two new icons; one is shuffle and the other is loop. To have a persistent data, we can 'run' using
    $ mkdir -p ~/nextcloud/{html,apps,config,data}
    $ docker run -d \
        --name mycloud \
        -p 81:80 \
        -v ~/nextcloud/html:/var/www/html \
        -v ~/nextcloud/apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps \
        -v ~/nextcloud/config:/var/www/html/config \
        -v ~/nextcloud/data:/var/www/html/data \
        nextcloud
    If we like to delete the contain and its unamed volume, run
    $ docker stop mycloud; docker rm -v mycloud
    If we run the container again mounting all volumes, all apps,files,configuration,admin's username & password are kept.
  • PDF viewer. PDF files will be downloaded instead of opening on the browser. This can be easily fixed. Click '+Apps' from the personal settings (the response is slow when I tested using Docker). Search for PDF viewer. Click the 'Enable' button (it will be changed to 'Disable' after that)
  • draw.io. After enable it, we can click the "+" sign and choose "Diagram" to create a new diagram (*.xml).
  • Radio. After enable it, a new "Radio" icon will be shown at the top. Only 20 stations are available from the 'Top'. No response after I clicked "Categories".

Distrobox & BoxBuddy

  • https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox (in the 'Installation' section there is a table. It seems the green color is used to show which Linux distributions has the latest version of distrobox)
    • Idea: Distrobox uses containerization technologies like Podman, Docker, or LXC to create containers with your chosen Linux distribution (Why worry about Podman/LXC?)
    • Important: Since it integrated with the host system, always back up important data and double-check configurations to avoid unintended changes. Changes may happen when we use a software (eg install R packages) launched from a box.
    • Practical uses:
      • Running GUI Applications from Other Distros (Containers): distrobox-enter fedora-box -- firefox
      • Developing and Testing on Multiple Linux Distributions
      • Using Up-to-Date Tools on Older Systems
      • Lightweight Alternative to Virtual Machines
      • Persistent Workflows Across Systems: the created container is tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory (yes, no extra configuration), external storage, USB devices
      • Running Different Package Managers: Use Arch's pacman or Fedora’s dnf on a system where apt is the native package manager.
  • Installation
  • DEB Files on Arch? Run Any App on Any Linux Distro With This Tool
  • Distrobox: Try Multiple Linux Distributions via the Terminal. The line "distrobox-export --app foliate" gives an error "cannot find any desktop files".
  • Stop Distro Hopping! Use this AWESOME tool on Linux 7/15/2023
    • Linux subsystem in another Linux
  • Testing using arch linux container where packages are always updated. Refer to distrobox create doc for examples.
    sudo apt install distrobox
    distrobox --version # 1.7.0
    
    distrobox create # default is fedora-toolbox:XX
    
    distrobox-create --name ubuntu2404 -i ubuntu:24.04 # same as docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04
    
    distrobox-create --name arch --pull -i quay.io/toolbx/arch-toolbox:latest
    distrobox enter arch # slow on Celeron N3160 Udoo
    
    cat /etc/os-release  # guest
    uname -r             # still host
    sudo pacman -Syu     # update the entire arch linux system
    sudo pacman -S r     # install R
    R                    # plotting also works
    sudo pacman -S netsurf
    sudo pacman -R netsurv
    sudo pacman -S vivaldi
    sudo pacman -Sy chromium 
    # Arch Linux Package Search:
    # https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=browser&sort=-last_update
    # and sort by 'Last Updated'
    chromium &            # so prompt is returned 
    
    distrobox-list
    
    podman images         # list image's size; podman is the default container manager on my debian
                          # possibly 'docker images'
    
    distrobox-rm ubuntu2404
    

    Use GUI Applications from the Container

    apt install x11-apps -y
    xeyes
    
  • List of compatible images and container managers, Compatibility page.
  • Some images works fine on my distrobox 1.7.0
    • quay.io/toolbx/arch-toolbox:latest
    • docker.io/library/archlinux:latest
    • registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:35
  • Change the default container manager. distrobox-create --help.
    DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER="docker"
    
  • distrobox-export --app XXX
    • This is to export an application to the host system
    • It seems there is no way to undo it. We need to enter the guest OS, remove the app and then remove the guest OS from the host.
  • BoxBuddy – graphical manager for Distrobox
    • https://www.dvlv.co.uk/BoxBuddyRS/ & https://github.com/Dvlv/BoxBuddyRS. Currently it is 2.3.0
    • The advantage is it includes a list of all distributions. Users only need to select one and enter a name for the 'box'.
    • Install by flatpak install flathub io.github.dvlv.boxbuddyrs (no need to download flatpakref file)
    • How does the software keep an updated list of images?
    • Tested:
      • install Debian12,
      • install sublime deb inside Debian12 through host's right click button. Sublime can be launched too from "View Applications".
      • Upgrade my arch Box (rolling release) works

  • Meet Webtops A Linux Desktop Environment In Your Browser
  • Run Linux Desktops in your Browser with Docker and Webtops! (video) and Notes
  • Default username/password is abc/abc. But we don't need to enter the password when we use "sudo".
  • Linux desktop, inside of a container, inside of a browser??? Yes. A Webtop, privileged: true is required for installing something like vscode in VM (video) and Doc
  • If I'm not using the default desktop, I need to switch to use some user's account instead of root to run docker-compose command. If I use root to launch ubuntu-kde, for example, the desktop is blank.
  • It's cool. I got Ubuntu 22.04 released 1.5 months ago.
  • After I installed 'htop', the htop command shows the cpu & memory & uptime ... from the 'host' system. But docker stats shows webtop (ubuntu-mate) desktop is using around 300MB memory.
  • When I want to copy text from VM to remote client, I need to open the clipboard using the black circle tool on the left-hand side.
  • After I played around, KDE-konsole does not respond to my keyboard. Logged out and logged in again fixes the problem.
  • I got the following errors when I try to install RStudio 2022.02.3 Build 492 on Ubuntu 22.04; this solution Installing R Studio on Ubuntu 22.04 works for me.

Docker for Shiny Server

  • Pin package versions in your production Docker image. Need to modify Dockerfile to install 'shiny' along with 'renv'. We need to create a directory 'shinyapp' with simple shiny files (eg kmeans example).
    docker build -t pinrpackageversion .
    mkdir shinyapp
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstudio/shiny-examples/master/050-kmeans-example/ui.R -P shinyapp
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstudio/shiny-examples/master/050-kmeans-example/server.R -P shinyapp
    docker run --name shinyapp --rm -p 3838:3838 pinrpackageversion
    
  • Question: what happened if there is a new version of R or shiny-sever?
    # specify --name so we don't need to use container id to access it later
    $ docker run -d --name rshiny -p 81:3838 rocker/shiny 
    
    $ docker ps -l
    
    # Run in container's bash

    root@5b78988d5619:/# exit
    
    $ docker stop rshiny
    $ docker rm rshiny   # remove the container

It is also useful to use the -v option in docker run so the local directory (eg /srv/shinyapps/) can be mapped to the docker volume (/srv/shiny-server).

# Put your shiny app in host's /srv/shinyapps/appdir,
$ docker run -d -p 81:3838 \
    -v /srv/shinyapps/:/srv/shiny-server/ \
    -v /srv/shinylog/:/var/log/shiny-server/ \
    rocker/shiny

And check running status

$ docker ps -a

R packages installation: packrat

Check opened ports

Youtube downloader

  • Download YouTube videos, host locally?
  • MeTube,
    mkdir /tmp/downloads # O.W. /tmp/downloads generated by root cannot be written
    docker run -d -p 8081:8081 \
      -e DELETE_FILE_ON_TRASHCAN=true \
      -v /tmp/downloads:/downloads \
      --restart always \
      alexta69/metube
    # http://localhost:8081

    The following example value for "YTDL_OPTIONS" embeds English subtitles and chapter markers (for videos that have them), and also changes the permissions on the downloaded video and sets the file modification timestamp to the date of when it was downloaded (oudated. see examples on yt-dlp about the current options).

    docker run -d -p 8081:8081 \
      -v /tmp/downloads:/downloads \
      -e YTDL_OPTIONS='{"writesubtitles":true,"subtitleslangs":["en","-live_chat"],"updatetime":false,"postprocessors":[{"key":"Exec","exec_cmd":"chmod 0664","when":"after_move"},{"key":"FFmpegEmbedSubtitle","already_have_subtitle":false},{"key":"FFmpegMetadata","add_chapters":true}]}' \
      --name metube \
      alexta69/metube
    
  • Chapters and subtitles:
    • Testing video: Macha Galette.
    • In VLC, subtitle is available under "Subtitle" -> "Sub Track" -> "English". The subtitle can be extracted from the downloaded webm files using ffmpeg -i filename.webm -map 0:s:0? subs.srt. If a video's subtitle is auto-generated by Youtube, then there is no subtitle embedded in the downloaded webm files.
    • In VLC, chapters is available under "Playback" -> "Chapter"
  • yt-dlp

  • Added mp3/mp4 files are not recognized.
  • Cannot play by web browsers
  • Special clients are needed:(

Python

Python Jupyter including R

docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 \
      -e JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes \
      -v "$PWD":/home/jovyan/work \
      --name jupyter \
      jupyter/datascience-notebook:r-4.3.1

Follow the screen output to access the app by going to http://IP:8888/?token=XXXXXX. This will take care of the authentication problem.

If we use 'docker compose up -d' method below, we need to use 'docker logs jupyter' to get the URL which includes the token password.

version: '3.3'
services:
    datascience-notebook:
        ports:
            - '8888:8888'
        environment:
            - JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes
        volumes:
            - '"$PWD":/home/jovyan/work'
        container_name: jupyter
        restart: unless-stopped
        image: 'jupyter/datascience-notebook:r-4.3.1'

This includes python3, Julia 1.0.0 and R. However, the R version is pretty old if we don't specify the tag.

Also the method does not work on arm64. WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested.

Keyboard shortcuts:

  • ctrl+Enter to run.
  • alt+Enter to run & insert a cell below.
  • shift+Enter to run and shift to a cell below.
  • Esc: command mode
  • Enter: edit mode

Note by default the ipynb files are saved to /home/jovyan instead of /home/jovyan/work directory. So it's better to click the "work" icon on the LHS of the file panel in order to change the working directory to "work".

  • It is super easy to install draw.io in Nextcloud (just a few clicks). It is very natural to save the file in the Nextcloud storage.

CasaOS

  • https://casaos.io/, Wiki (Very limited)
  • https://blog.casaos.io/ Blog and new release announcement
  • Self-Deploying-Applications from Zimaboard.
  • I installed CasaOS in Proxmox using Debian 12 LXC. I allocated 40GB space and 4GB ram. The memory can be increased without a need to shut down the LXC.
  • Files app is similar to NextCloud but it can connect to cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive. It can also connect to other network storage something like smb://192.168.1.1
  • I guess we are supposed to use CasaOS in a full screen model. The backward button in the browser will possibly quit CasaOS.
  • Portainer, Uptime Kuma, Wireguard Easy are some of apps in the App Store.
  • CasaOS can expand their App Store.
    • Custom installer is another option; we can use Docker Compose or Docker CLI.
    • "Add Source". Store list. After I copy/paste CasaOS-LinuxServer-AppStore https://casaos-appstore.paodayag.dev/linuxserver.zip and click "Add +" button it immediately shows 226 apps. That is cool! It includes Firefox, Chromium, Opera. I installed FF but when I use the web interface of FF on my Android tablet, I could not scroll. FreshRSS not working on my tablets. Firefox and Chromium are hard to use on my tablet.
    • Apps are using ports other than 80. Clicking on an app (eg Snapdrop was changed to use port 88 instead of 80) sometimes opened a tab with a port 80. So the launching is not successfully. We need to click on each app's Settings and find out what the port it uses and modify the port on the Web UI field and 'Save'.
    • Kasm not working.
    • Snapdrop. I can't see other devices? pairdrop from linuxserver.io works.
    • OpenSpeedTest & librespeed/speedtest works but gave quite different results than speedtest.net
    • Rdesktop. It is adding a desktop environment to your server. So the IP should be IP:3389 when we use Remmina for example. The username/password is abc/abc. For example, I allocate 40GB to CasaOS and the remote desktop will show 40GB disk space for the server. The desktop includes the Chromium browser. We can connect to internet using the Chromium browser.
    • Webtop is based on KasmVNC. Webtops is a project where you can setup a variety of Linux desktops, with a variety of Desktop Environments in Docker, and access them through a web browser! The screen/desktop is synchronized across devices. So we can use our tablet device as a monitor and our mouse and keyboard are still connected to our desktop computer. Interesting! But no internet connection? The font size on the desktop changes with the connected devices. The default distro is Arch Linux.
    • AdGuard: when I installed it, the default port for dashboard is 80. I changed it to 3000. But after the setup, the port 3000 is not working. Check the setting from CasaOS, it shows 3001. So the change of port in the initial set up was not taken (I ssh into the server and use ss to check open ports) though admin account was saved. The port 3001 is actually working. It works when I tested on a Android tablet (use only AdGuard IP as the only DNS, not including 1.1.1.1 or else). See Adguard Home Installed on Docker video for AdGuard setup.
