Use a Jupyter Notebook with a Run:AI Job¶
A Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code. Uses include data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and much more. Jupyter Notebooks are popular with Researchers as a way to code and run deep-learning code. A Jupyter Notebook runs inside the user container.
This document is about accessing the remote container created by Run:AI via such a notebook. Alternatively, Run:AI provides integration with JupyterHub. JupyterHub is a separate service that makes it possible to serve pre-configured data science environments. For more information see Connecting JupyterHub with Run:AI.
Submit a Workload¶
Run the following command to connect to the Jupyter Notebook container as if it were running locally:
runai submit build-jupyter --jupyter -g 1
The terminal will show the following:
~> runai submit build-jupyter --jupyter -g 1
INFO[0001] Exposing default jupyter notebook port 8888
INFO[0001] Using default jupyter notebook image "jupyter/scipy-notebook"
INFO[0001] Using default jupyter notebook service type portforward
The job 'build-jupyter' has been submitted successfully
You can run `runai describe job build-jupyter -p team-a` to check the job status

- The Job starts a Jupyter notebook container.
- The connection is redirected to the local machine (127.0.0.1) on port 8888
Browse to http://localhost:8888. Use the token in the output to log into the notebook.
Alternatives¶
The above flag --jupyter is a shortcut with a predefined image. If you want to run your own notebook, use the quickstart on running a build workload with connected ports.
