Docker for data science
- 1. Docker for Data Science Down with package managers,upwith docker Calvin Giles- calvin.giles@gmail.com- @calvingiles
- 3. Who am I? APhysicist -MPhys fromUniversity of Southampton AData Scientist at Adthena APyData meetupand conference co-organiser Data Science Advisorforuntangleconsulting.io Programming in python fornearly 10years Using dockerfor3months
- 5. My Problem Imaintained a dev_setup.md document.It was 450lines long and growing.
- 7. Things started to break.
- 8. Then Idecided to contribute to sklearn. Followed by many build errors. The quickest solution -disable macports. $ git clone git://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
- 9. When Ire-enabled MacPorts,it was neverthe same again.
- 10. With my environment in tatters... ...and faced with re-installing fromscratch,Idecided there must be a betterway. What about: Homebrew Boxen virtualenv anaconda npm,rpm vagrant,chef,puppet,ansible VirtualBox,VMFusion Docker,CoreOS Rocket fig,dokku,flynn,deis Surely one of these would help?
- 11. What do I want in a solution? Trivialto wipe the slate clean and recreate Portable (home laptopenv ==work laptopstate) Easy to share Configure once,use everywhere Remote databases,servers etc. Customisation (sublime,.virc,.bashrcetc.) Installation quirks No system-wide backuprequired Compatible with deployment to servers OS X-centric
- 12. Introducing Docker!! boot2docker-a single virtualmachine running on VirtualBox(OS XorWindows) dockerdaemon running on boot2dockeros dockercontainers running in partialisolation inside the same boot2dockervirtual machine dockerclient running on the host (OS X)to simplify the issuing of commands dockerimages as templates forcontainers dockerimages ->.isostyle templates dockercontainers ->lightweight virtualmachines intended to run justone process each
- 13. What do you get with docker? Run multiple environments indipendently Run services indipendently of environments e.g.databases Permit an environment to interact with a specific subset of the host files Share a poolof resources between allenvironments Asingle containercan consume 100%of CPU,RAMand HDD Quotas forwhen resources busy
- 14. What can be problematic Trust -processes are given read-write access to yourfiles stick to trusted builds and automated builds not really different to installing any software Resources are limited to VMallocation Lot's to learn Managing containers (starting,stopping etc.)
- 15. Get docker boot2docker.dmgor.exe apt-get install docker.io... Initialise: https://docs.docker.com/installation/ (https://docs.docker.com/installation/) $ boot2docker init $ boot2docker start $ $(boot2docker shellinit) $ docker login
- 21. What do all these arguments do? -drun as daemon -i -t --rmrun interactively and auto-remove on exit -eset an env variable -pmapa port like -p host:container -vmapa host volume into the container --linkautomatically link containers,particularly databases -wset the working directory --volumes-frommapallthe volumes fromthe named container
- 22. Where do containers come from? Containers can be started using:docker run <image>.
- 23. Where do images come from? The trusted builds on dockerhub (like ubuntu,postgres,node etc.) Open source providers with automated builds (like ipython,julia etc.) Public images uploaded in a built state (quite opaque) Private images (built locally orvia docker login)
- 24. How do I build my own images? Write a Dockerfile. Eitherbuild and run it locally like: Orupload it to github and have the dockerhub build it foryou automatically: Wait forbuild... $ docker build -t calvingiles/magic-image . $ docker run calvingiles/magic-image $ git push $ docker run calvingiles/magic-image
- 25. What is this Dockerfile? FROM ipython/scipyserver MAINTAINER Calvin Giles <calvin.giles@gmail.com> # Create install folder RUN mkdir /install_files # Install postgres libraries and python dev libraries # so we can install psycopg2 later RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev # install python requirements COPY requirements.txt /install_files/requirements.txt RUN pip2 install -r /install_files/requirements.txt RUN pip3 install -r /install_files/requirements.txt # Set the working directory to /notebooks WORKDIR /notebooks
- 26. Components of a Dockerfile FROM:anotherimage to build upon (ubuntu,debian,ipython...) RUN:execute a command in the containerand write teh results into the image COPY:copy a file fromthe build filesystemto the image WORKDIR:change the working directory (the containerstarts in the last WORKDIR) ENV:set and env variable EXPOSE:open upa port to linked containers and the host
- 27. So how do I actually use docker? Find an image to start yourenvironment off (ubuntu,ipython/scipystack, rocker/rstudio) Create a Dockerfilecontaining only a FROMline: build and run FROM ipython/scipystack
- 28. Let's start with the ipython notebook serverwith scipystack: Find yourboot2docker ip: Navigate there https://your-ip:443and sign in with the PASSWORD $ echo 'FROM ipython/scipyserver' > Dockerfile $ docker build -t ipython-dev-env . $ docker run -i -t --rm -e PASSWORD=MyPass -p 443:8888 ipython-dev-env $ boot2docker ip
