VRE user environment images for workflows and notebooks available in the VRE JupyterHub service.

VRE user environments

Custom user environments

If you want to extend or modify any image, find below some suggestions:

We strongly recommend that every user enviroment image uses the latests vre-singleuser-py311 image as a base layer (the FROM command in the Dockerfile - see below).

• Check the latest version of the vre-singleuser-py311 image here.
• To custimize an image please have a look to the Startup Docker Stack documentation Hooks.
• Create one folder per environments. The directory would need to contain a valid Dockerfile. Once your PR is merged, the CI will detect the changes in the repository and will trigger the building of the image.
• Add a README.md file describing the environment and its usage.
• We strongly recommend to add the following lines to any new user environment (thus in a Dockerfile), so that the image would labelled with the building date.

#  Beginning of the suggested Dockerfile 
FROM ghcr.io/vre-hub/vre-singleuser-py311:sha-5106e39
LABEL maintainer=<your_name>
ARG BUILD_DATE
LABEL org.label-schema.build-date=$BUILD_DATE
