Will this run on Windows or macOS?

Yes, but you need to install docker first, see link above. if on Windows run the windows-training-environment.sh feel free to open an issue if that doesn't work.

How to I shut down the notebook?

Go to the terminal where you ran the run-training....sh and press CTRL+C, WTF

Can I deploy this in a cloud environment via Docker? or run it on my big ML rig with many nvidia GPUs?
