Custom Docker Compose setup for JupyterLab with preconfigured kernels for Bash, C, Kotlin, Python and JavaScript for multi-language notebook development

Setup

1. Update the following in docker-compose.yml:
   • existing-docker-network
   • /path/to/your/jupyter/notebooks¹
   • /path/to/your/jupyter/configuration¹: Settings and cache. For rootless Docker, change ownership on the host to 100999:100099 (it's not a typo).
2. Run docker compose up -d --build
3. The default port is 8888

To make your password persistent across server sessions:

1. Run docker logs jupyter and copy the token
2. Fill out the form and set your new password
3. Follow the instructions in /path/to/jupyter/configuration/jupyter_server_config.py:c.ServerApp.password (ignore the deprecation warnings)

To install additional Python packages, add them to the # install Python packages section of the Dockerfile, then rebuild the image
