Hi Tim,

question for ya --

so, this is on BinderHub, which doesn't necessarily work well for workshops
(too quick to timeout on the default public site, mybinder.org).  But the
advantage is that binderhub is super quick for prototyping and trialing and
demoing, because it builds the docker image for you and doesn't require any
authentication or anything.

My understanding is that the data8.org folk at Berkeley use JupyterHub, which
supports a single Docker image and requires some form of auth but has
persistence of containers while you are logged into it.

...how hard would it be, do you think, to have a JupHub setup that includes a
single docker image (that includes Py3, Rstudio, and OpenRefine) that could be
deployed by the Carpentries in support of workshops, either as backup (for
people who can't install the software on their own laptop) or for cloud
lessons?  I'm envisioning something that would either be a standing low-$$
running service that could expand when needed, or something that we could spin
up on demand for a particular workshop - not sure which would work better or be
cheapest.

Any thoughts?

cheers,
