IPython notebook storage on OpenStack Swift + Rackspace.
Project description
Stores IPython notebooks automagically onto OpenStack clouds through Swift.
Note: Bookstore only works against IPython 1.0.0+
Bookstore currently has generic support for OpenStack Swift and simplified authentication for Rackspace’s CloudFiles. Bookstore also handles IPython notebook’s autosave/checkpoint feature.

Once installed and configured (added to an ipython profile), just launch IPython notebook like normal:
$ ipython notebook

2013-08-01 13:44:25.400 [NotebookApp] The IPython Notebook is running at: http://127.0.0.1:9999/

Simply:
$ pip install bookstoreAlternatively, you can always pull from the master branch if you’re the adventurous type:
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/rgbkrk/bookstore.gitInstallation isn’t the end though. You need to configure your account details as well as where you’ll be storing the notebooks.
Configuration
Bookstore has to be added to an IPython profile and configured to work with your OpenStack provider.
You can create a brand new notebook profile for bookstore:
$ ipython profile create swiftstore
[ProfileCreate] Generating default config file: u'/Users/theuser/.ipython/profile_swiftstore/ipython_config.py'
[ProfileCreate] Generating default config file: u'/Users/theuser/.ipython/profile_swiftstore/ipython_notebook_config.py'When launching, just set the custom profile you want to use
$ ipython notebook --profile=swiftstoreIf you want to keep it simple, just add the configuration to your default configuration located at:
~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_notebook_config.pyEach provider has their own setup for authentication.
On OpenStack Swift using Keystone Authentication
OpenStack (generic, non provider specific) has quite a few details you’ll need to configure, namely account name, account key, auth endpoint, and region. You’ll possibly need a tenant id and a tenant name.
Add this to your ipython notebook profile ipython_notebook_config.py, making sure it comes after the config declaration c = get_config().
# Setup IPython Notebook to write notebooks to a Swift Cluster
# that uses Keystone for authentication
c.NotebookApp.notebook_manager_class = 'bookstore.swift.KeystoneNotebookManager'
# Account details for OpenStack
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.account_name = USER_NAME
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.account_key = API_KEY
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.auth_endpoint = u'127.0.0.1:8021'
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.tenant_id = TENANT_ID
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.tenant_name = TENANT_NAME
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.region = 'RegionOne'
# Container on OpenStack Swift
c.KeystoneNotebookManager.container_name = u'notebooks'On Rackspace’s CloudFiles
The Rackspace CloudFileNotebookManager simply needs your USER_NAME and API_KEY. You can also configure the region to store your notebooks (e.g. 'SYD', 'ORD', 'DFW', 'LON'). Note: If you’re using Rackspace UK, set your region to 'LON'.
Add this to your ipython notebook profile ipython_notebook_config.py, making sure it comes after the config declaration c = get_config().
# Setup IPython Notebook to write notebooks to CloudFiles
c.NotebookApp.notebook_manager_class = 'bookstore.cloudfiles.CloudFilesNotebookManager'
# Set up your user name and password
c.CloudFilesNotebookManager.account_name = USER_NAME
c.CloudFilesNotebookManager.account_key = API_KEY
# Container on CloudFiles
c.CloudFilesNotebookManager.container_name = u'notebooks'Contributing
Send a pull request on GitHub. It’s that simple. More than happy to respond to issues on GitHub as well.
