New REP docker version running in /var/lib/docker/volumes/ instead of ~/rep_container

@lodurality , thanks for reporting.
Indeed we’ve changed things a bit how REP runs within Docker.
in particular:

• default port number is back to Jupyter default port number 8888
• for most docker commands you have to use make

Also

• thanks for typo notice: «git checkout» -> «git clone» on Wiki

• between step 5 & 6 it was complaining about container with name ‘rep’, not image. so to clear previous one, just run make remove

• I’ve added option for make to specify notebooks folder - -e NOTEBOOKS=path_my_notebooks_folder (pick it from https://github.com/anaderi/rep/blob/master/Makefile)
  e.g.:

  make -e NOTEBOOKS=~/notebooks run
  

PS you don’t have to use sudo (after adding yourself to docker group by usermod -G docker $(whoami))

It looks like make doesn't see/use this option. Here is what I did:

1. I removed all containers and images.
2. Added myself to docker group.
3. Changed Makefile in rep directory for a new one.
4. Installed REP container again
5. Tried make -e NOTEBOOKS=~/notebooks run, but it still starts notebook in in /var/lib/docker/volumes/.../_data/.
6. Also tried to run it with option NOTEBOOK_DIR instead of NOTEBOOKS, because I found the following code in output, but it didn't work either.

    NOTEBOOK_DIR=/notebooks
    git clone $JPY_GITHUBURL $NOTEBOOK_DIR
    $HOME/miniconda/envs/jupyterhub_py3/bin/jupyterhub-singleuser \
      --port=8888 \
      --ip=0.0.0.0 \
      --user=$JPY_USER \
      --cookie-name=$JPY_COOKIE_NAME \
      --base-url=$JPY_BASE_URL \
      --hub-prefix=$JPY_HUB_PREFIX \
      --hub-api-url=$JPY_HUB_API_URL \
      --notebook-dir=$NOTEBOOK_DIR
    exit $?
