jupyter-repo2docker

jupyter-repo2docker is a tool to build, run, and push Docker images from source code repositories that run via a Jupyter server.

repo2docker fetches a repository (e.g., from GitHub or other locations) and builds a container image based on the configuration files found in the repository. It can be used to explore a repository locally by building and executing the constructed image of the repository, or as a means of building images that are pushed to a Docker registry.

Please report Bugs, ask questions or contribute to the project.
