# 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/docker-stacks-foundation [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/main/docker-stacks-foundation) | [Dockerfile commit history](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/commits/main/docker-stacks-foundation/Dockerfile) | [Docker Hub image tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyter/docker-stacks-foundation/tags/) `jupyter/docker-stacks-foundation` is a small image supporting a majority of [options common across all core stacks](common.md). It is the basis for all other stacks on which Jupyter-related applications can be built (e.g., kernel-based containers, [nbclient](https://github.com/jupyter/nbclient) applications, etc.). As such, it does not contain application-level software like Jupyter Notebook server, Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Hub. It contains: - 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. - Unprivileged user `jovyan` (`uid=1000`, configurable, [see options in the common features section](./common.md) of this documentation) in group `users` (`gid=100`) with ownership over the `/home/jovyan` and `/opt/conda` paths - `tini` as the container entrypoint - A `start.sh` script as the default command - useful for running alternative commands in the container as applications are added (e.g. `ipython`, `jupyter kernelgateway`, `jupyter lab`) - Options for a passwordless sudo - No preinstalled scientific computing packages ### jupyter/base-notebook [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/main/base-notebook) | [Dockerfile commit history](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/commits/main/base-notebook/Dockerfile) | [Docker Hub image tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyter/base-notebook/tags/) `jupyter/base-notebook` adds base Jupyter server applications like Notebook, Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Hub and serves as the basis for all other stacks besides `jupyter/docker-stacks-foundation`. It contains: - Everything in `jupyter/docker-stacks-foundation` - Minimally-functional Jupyter Notebook server (e.g., no LaTeX support for saving notebooks as PDFs) - `notebook`, `jupyterhub` and `jupyterlab` packages - A `start-notebook.sh` script as the default command - A `start-singleuser.sh` script useful for launching containers in JupyterHub - Options for a self-signed HTTPS certificate ### jupyter/minimal-notebook [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/tree/main/minimal-notebook) | [Dockerfile commit history](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/commits/main/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=eJyFj0FqxDAMRfc5hchqsvCuDFNCe4Lu2mVhUBKlNXGkYMtkMqV3r70pOLRk-_T-56tz0k-DxQ_4qgAGGjE6vY7CGuyd4Ake2yod6thF1vjOp5e3V1itfsIilhU8OcJATQ3mGYbURd4ExX4KZpTIA6oVbnP1P7ec61KDYVHqRKYsFyAbs2U7oyukPcte6O2yFVZJslMrcRA_Oll_eXpM2G1wu5yv54em_juZFmOixD0dLvEHK5YtLOinwtqz7KFzZm9-_wDZDphP) ### Builds Every Monday and whenever a pull request is merged, images are rebuilt and pushed to [the public container registry](https://hub.docker.com/u/jupyter). ### 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 `85f615d5cafa` - a date formatted like `2022-08-04` - OS version like `ubuntu-22.04` - a set of software version tags like `python-3.10.5` and `lab-3.4.4` ```{warning} - Tags before `2022-07-05` were sometimes incorrect. Please, do not rely on them. - Single-platform images have either `aarch64` or `x86_64` tag prefixes, for example `jupyter/base-notebook:aarch64-python-3.10.5` ``` 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](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/). ## Community Stacks The core stacks are but 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. See the [contributing guide](../contributing/stacks.md) for information about how to create your own Jupyter Docker Stack. | Flavor | Binder | Description | | -------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [csharp] | [![bb]][csharp_b] | More than 200 Jupyter Notebooks with example **C#** code | | [education] | [![bb]][education_b] | **`nbgrader`** and `RISE` on top of the `datascience-notebook` image | | [ihaskell] | [![bb]][ihaskell_b] | Based on [**IHaskell**][ihaskell_project].
