Deploys a throw-away data analysis environment on BlueMix including IPython Notebook, numpy, pandas, and matplotlib. See the quickstart below or the developerWorks article for details.
First, get Cloud Foundry Command Line tools (cf) for your machine. Then,
# get the code
git clone https://github.com/AbhishekGhosh/Bluemix-Jupyter-Notebook.git
cd Bluemix-Jupyter-Notebook
# Update the buildpack in manifest.yml to:
# https://github.com/cloudfoundry/python-buildpack.git
# login to bluemix
cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net
cf login
# push the app, but don't start it
cf push --no-start
# set a password in the app environment if you need
# cf set-env ipython PASSWORD $( echo -n "Password: " && read -s PASSWORD && echo $PASSWORD )
# In windows the above fails, use:
# cf set-env ipython PASSWORD recent ipython
# build, deploy, and start the app
cf start ipython
# Confirm that the notebook server is running properly by querying its status:
cf app ipython
# The output provides the URL where the notebook is running.
When the buildpack finishes running, note the route assigned to your instance and visit it in your browser via https://your-instance.nb.bluemix.net. Enter your password when prompted.
Sometimes the buildpack takes too long to execute. Though it completes and the app runs, it surfaces as a staging error. If you see this error, run:
cf stop
cf start
