Repo for Pycon 2016 Tutorial The Fellowship of The Data

Please get the latest version of the tutorial files from the repo for tomorrow:
$ git clone https://github.com/gizm00/pycon2016.git
$ cd pycon2016/notebooks

From here you can follow the instructions under "start the tutorial container" below  

Usually this means the apache server needs to be restarted. To do so, execute the following in the LAMP container shell:
$ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Usually this means the mysql server needs to be restarted (and often occurs after you have encountered the above error and restarted apache). To fix, restart mysql in the LAMP container shell:
$ /etc/init.d/mysql restart

Should you run into problems setting up with Docker please ping me at the address in the class email!

0. Start docker, note the docker IP as YOUR_DOCKER_IP

1. Get the LAMP stack for hosting tutorial files from Docker:
   $ docker run -t -i -p 3306:3306 --net=bridge --name=pycon2016_lamp gizm00/pycon2016_lamp /bin/bash

2. In the pycon2016_lamp container you just created, note the IP address by running:
   $ ifconfig | grep 'inet addr'
   the first line will give you the IP for the container. This is the LAMP_IP

3. Execute the startup script in the pycon2016_lamp container to setup the mysql database
   $ lamp_startup.sh

Your LAMP container should now be ready to serve files for the tutorial.

In a new window clone the tutorial files from Github
git clone https://github.com/gizm00/pycon2016.git
cd pycon2016/notebooks

In the pycon2016/notebooks directory, start the tutorial container

1. Get the tutorial image from Docker. This will take some time to download, good time for second breakfast:
   $ docker run --rm -it --net=bridge -p 8888:8888 --name=pycon2016_notebooks -v "$(pwd):/home/notebooks" gizm00/pycon2016

2. In the pycon2016_notebooks container execute the startup script to install the pymysql driver and start the notebook server:
   $ start-notebook.sh

3. Navigate to http://YOUR_DOCKER_IP:8888/ to see the notebook tree

At this point youre ready to run the test notebook to verify your setup

1. At http://YOUR_DOCKER_IP:8888/ find the config.py file

2. Update config.py with the values you noted above: LAMP_IP = your LAMP_IP
   HOST_IP = YOUR_DOCKER_IP

3. Save the updated config.py

4. Open the test_notebook in the Jupyter tree and run the notebook. The resulting plot should be a map of Oregon, hover over points to see campground name and telephone (where available). You can check the notebook outputs against notebooks/test_notebook_output.pdf

I strongly suggest using the Docker containers for the tutorial, but here are some notes if you want to run the materials locally. Given the diversity of local machine setups its unlikely I will have time to devote to helping you debug your personal machine should you run into problems, FYI

1. For a list of required pip packages see 'pycon2016/docker/requirements.txt'

2. In addition to the above packages you will need

   firefox (we will be using the firefox driver for Selenium)
   python 3.4.3
   jupyter 4.2.0 mysql-connector-python

3. To forgo using the pycon2016_lamp container you will need to have a local LAMP stack

   Refer to the pycon2016_lamp repo: https://github.com/gizm00/pycon2016_lamp

   mysql: setup users and database using the mysql_setup.sql

   apache: copy the contents of webfiles/ to your apache directory

4. Get the course materials : git clone https://github.com/gizm00/pycon2016.git and run the test_notebook as above
