Binder doesn't work properly

Open basnijholt opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Because the notebooks are in Markdown, the default Jupyter notebook cannot read them.

There are several ways to fix that:

  • Configure jupytext in binder, and use it as a default viewer for markdown files. This is much less work, but will mean that the notebooks have no pre-evaluated outputs.
  • Provide a binder dockerfile that runs the conversion and serves the notebooks. This pathway would potentially lead to problems with binder image cache expiration (i.e. if nobody runs the binder for a while, the first startup will require some 30 minute wait). That could also be avoided by periodically calling binder API from CI.

The first option works in classic notebook, seems not yet possible in lab https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/271. For that reason I'm going to keep the binder interface to classic for now.
