Install tensorflow, theano, sklearn, nltk all inside miniconda2 docker container

I have pulled conda/miniconda2 image and I'm able to run it but what so ever changes I made goes when I restart the container. As I'm new to docker I don't know much about it.

My question is that how can I write a docker file so that all libraries like tensorflow theano etc comes installed in it ?

Assuming you have done plenty of research on this topic, I will provide a solution. We can achieve this two ways:

  • (1) build an image from scratch using "Dockerfile" or "dockerfile". A "dockerfile" allows you to place all the dependencies needed for installation of your packages or libraries.

  • (2) You can simply run a container of the base-image of the desired OS flavor.Then, go into the container and install all your packages and commit the changes to Docker Hub.

  • (1) [Answer] Simply create a Dockerfile and build the image using the desired linux flavor. Check link how to build an image, using a Dockerfile, with all the desired packages and libraries.

  • (2) [Answer] Step1: Running a container in detach mode.
    Assign a name to the container you want to run so it is easy to locate and reattach again to it. Learn about the flags I used in the flags link below. 

    docker run --name miniconda2Container -i -t -d conda/miniconda2 /bin/bash

    enter image description here

  • (2) Step2: Use the name of the container you have assigned to run it with the attach command. 

    docker attach miniconda2Container

    enter image description here

  • (2) Step3: Once inside the container proceed to install all your packages. 

    apt-get install <package or library or anything else>

  • (2) Up to now, you have done everything properly. When you finished installing everything, detach the container by pressing "Ctrl-p-q" at the same time. You should receive something like the following statement.

    enter image description here

  • (2) Then, Commit the changes that you have made inside the container the following way: 

    docker commit -m "This is my update image" miniconda2Container abeltre1/miniconda2:latest

    enter image description here

Finally, you can use the [REPOSITORY[:TAG]] to access the image and check that all your packages are installed. In my case the image is: abeltre1/miniconda2:latest.

  1. Dockerfile
  2. Run Container Flags
  3. Docker Commit
