This repo is FULL of bad ideas.

• Do not read this README
• Do not run my code
• Do not listen to my recommendations (except for the ones in this bullet list)

Okay, now that you are gone I will continue ...

Install Docker if you do not already have it installed.

I am using a docker image called jupyter/scipy-notebook which creates a linux container with JupyterLab.

I've modified the container to include iputils-ping in order to use the linux ping shell command.

Open a new terminal and execute the following. The %cd% or $PWD should match wherever you cloned this repo.

Windows:

docker run -d -v %cd%:/home/jovyan/work -e GRANT_SUDO=yes --user root -p 8888:8888 jupyter/scipy-notebook

Linux:

docker run -d -v $PWD:/home/jovyan/work -e GRANT_SUDO=yes --user root -p 8888:8888 jupyter/scipy-notebook

With a terminal open running inside the new container, execute the following commands to install iputils-ping.

apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y iputils-ping

You're ready to go. Open JupyterLab.

If the matplotlib magic %matplotlib widget doesn't work, you may need to enable third party extensions in JupyterLab's extension manager.

You will need to manually run each cell, allowing the plot to fully appear before running the next cell.

The while loop will run for a very long time. You will likely want to interrupt the kernal yourself when you are done checking your network performance.

After exiting the container, Windows users will need to free up the memory allocated to virtual environments. You can do this in a new terminal with the following command.

wsl --shutdown
