Cannot open jupyter notebook linked by the docker container

[gauravmoghe]

I downloaded the docker container using
docker run -p 8888:8888 -e PASSWORD="jupyter" quay.io/cellgeni/scrna-seq-course:v5.14

Then I load the image using the following code
$ docker run --user root -e GRANT_SUDO=yes <imageID>

and I get the following status message

    To access the server, open this file in a browser:
        file:///home/jovyan/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/jpserver-15-open.html
    Or copy and paste one of these URLs:
        http://6842748b1bc3:8888/lab?token=f44920cc59face9412a8110dbc15c1776d3ac95ed0f81323
     or http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab?token=f44920cc59face9412a8110dbc15c1776d3ac95ed0f81323

However, when I put the link in Chrome, I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED or ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I tried changing 127.0.0.1 to my mac's IP address as suggested in a previous closed GitHub issue (#165) but that did not work. Running the docker run command without the sudo and --user arguments also does not work.

Thanks for any insights!

Hi @gauravmoghe, when running the container you need to bind the ports from the container to your host machine:
that's the -p 8888:8888 part of the launch command otherwise you won't be able to reach jupyter inside the container via the URL.

Also, I think the PASSWORD env var has been deprectaed in favor of JUPYTER_TOKEN. Try running it like this:

docker run -p 8888:8888 -e JUPYTER_TOKEN=jupyter quay.io/cellgeni/scrna-seq-course:latest

Let us know how that goes
