docker command for running container doesn't work

[Dave3991]

Hi, command in readme for running at localhost doesn't work for me.
Old command:
docker run -i -t -p 8888:8888 continuumio/anaconda3 conda "install jupyter -y --quiet && mkdir /opt/notebooks && /opt/conda/bin/jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=/opt/notebooks --ip='0.0.0.0' --port=8888 --no-browser"

I fixed it with this:
docker run -i -t -p 8888:8888 continuumio/anaconda3 /bin/bash -c "/opt/conda/bin/conda install jupyter -y --quiet && mkdir /opt/notebooks && /opt/conda/bin/jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=/opt/notebooks --ip='0.0.0.0' --port=8888 --no-browser --allow-root"

Please add the exception or error message.

For me it's a duplicate issue, see #94 and #85.

You can find the mentioned command on several pages, e.g.:

• https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/docker/
• https://hub.docker.com/r/continuumio/anaconda3
• https://hub.docker.com/r/continuumio/miniconda3

Running processes as root in a docker container isn't best practice, but it's indeed a design decicion. In addition the package jupyter can change it's behaviour, because there is no specific version defined. What means that alwyas the latest version of jupyter will be installed.

Hi there.
I got same issue. I followed following docs to run continuumio/anaconda3 container.

https://hub.docker.com/r/continuumio/anaconda3
https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/docker/

I think @Dave3991 and I just followed these docs. I meant we copied and pasted commands. And then failed to run container.
I recommend adding --allow-root into sample command.

command I used and error message below.

nishiseiji@nishiseijinombp temp % sudo docker run -i -t -p 8888:8888 continuumio/anaconda3 /bin/bash -c "/opt/conda/bin/conda install jupyter -y --quiet && mkdir /opt/notebooks && /opt/conda/bin/jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=/opt/notebooks --ip='*' --port=8888 --no-browser"
