# Selecting an Image - [Core Stacks](#core-stacks) - [Image Relationships](#image-relationships) - [Community Stacks](#community-stacks) Using one of the Jupyter Docker Stacks requires two choices: 1. Which Docker image you wish to use 2. How you wish to start Docker containers from that image This section provides details about the first. ## Core Stacks The Jupyter team maintains a set of Docker image definitions in the GitHub repository. The following sections describe these images including their contents, relationships, and versioning strategy. ### jupyter/base-notebook [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/master/base-notebook) | [Dockerfile commit history](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/commits/master/base-notebook/Dockerfile) | [Docker Hub image tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyter/base-notebook/tags/) `jupyter/base-notebook` is a small image supporting the [options common across all core stacks](common.md). It is the basis for all other stacks. - Minimally-functional Jupyter Notebook server (e.g., no LaTeX support for saving notebooks as PDFs) - [Miniforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge) Python 3.x in `/opt/conda` with two package managers - [conda](https://github.com/conda/conda): "cross-platform, language-agnostic binary package manager". - [mamba](https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba): "reimplementation of the conda package manager in C++". We use this package manager by default when installing packages. - `notebook`, `jupyterhub` and `jupyterlab` packages - No preinstalled scientific computing packages - Unprivileged user `jovyan` (`uid=1000`, configurable, see options) in group `users` (`gid=100`) with ownership over the `/home/jovyan` and `/opt/conda` paths - `tini` as the container entrypoint and a `start-notebook.sh` script as the default command - A `start-singleuser.sh` script useful for launching containers in JupyterHub - A `start.sh` script useful for running alternative commands in the container (e.g. `ipython`, `jupyter kernelgateway`, `jupyter lab`) - Options for a self-signed HTTPS certificate and passwordless sudo ### jupyter/minimal-notebook [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/master/minimal-notebook) | [Dockerfile commit history](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/commits/master/minimal-notebook/Dockerfile) | [Docker Hub image tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyter/minimal-notebook/tags/) `jupyter/minimal-notebook` adds command line tools useful when working in Jupyter applications. -

(i.e., the `FROM` statements in their Dockerfiles). Any given image inherits the complete content of all ancestor images pointing to it. [![Image inheritance diagram](../images/inherit.svg)](http://interactive.blockdiag.com/?compression=deflate&src=eJyFzTEPgjAQhuHdX9Gws5sQjGzujsaYKxzmQrlr2msMGv-71K0srO_3XGud9NNA8DSfgzESCFlBSdi0xkvQAKTNugw4QnL6GIU10hvX-Zh7Z24OLLq2SjaxpvP10lX35vCf6pOxELFmUbQiUz4oQhYzMc3gCrRt2cWe_FKosmSjyFHC6OS1AwdQWCtyj7sfh523_BI9hKlQ25YdOFdv5fcH0kiEMA) ### Builds Every Monday and whenever a pull requests is merged, images are rebuilt and pushed to the public container registry. ### Versioning via image tags Whenever a docker image is pushed to the container registry, it is tagged with: - a `latest` tag - a 12-character git commit SHA like `b9f6ce795cfc` - a date formatted like `2021-08-29` - a set of software version tags like `python-3.9.6` and `lab-3.0.16` For stability and reproducibility, you should either reference a date formatted tag from a date before the current date (in UTC time) or a git commit SHA older than the latest git commit SHA in the default branch of the jupyter/docker-stacks GitHub repository. ## Community Stacks The core stacks are just a tiny sample of what's possible when combining Jupyter with other technologies. We encourage members of the Jupyter community to create their own stacks based on the core images and link them below. - [csharp-notebook is a community Jupyter Docker Stack image.

The image includes [Kotlin kernel for Jupyter/IPython](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-jupyter) on top of the `base-notebook` image. Try it on [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/knonm/kotlin-notebook/main) See the [contributing guide](../contributing/stacks.md) for information about how to create your own Jupyter Docker Stack.
