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, --titus On Sun, Jan 21, 2018 at 02:02:25PM +0000, Tim Head wrote: > Hello all, > > there is now an example of how to setup OpenRefine so it will work inside a > binder: > https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/betatim/openrefineder/master?urlpath=openrefine > <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/betatim/openrefineder/master?urlpath%3Dopenrefine&sa=D&ust=1516621766758000&usg=AFQjCNFwA5vUAZkoHxUlYGID0w2HUQFi4g> > (you > can also launch the standard notebook interface > https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/betatim/openrefineder/master > <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/betatim/openrefineder/master?urlpath%3Dopenrefine&sa=D&ust=1516621766758000&usg=AFQjCNFwA5vUAZkoHxUlYGID0w2HUQFi4g> > and > then click New -> OpenRefine session). > > This might be useful for shorter workshops where you want to get going at > the start and do software setup to take home towards the end.
