Zeppelin Docker Interpreter Configuration

Question

I have created a Zeppelin docker image in my local system and configured the Spark Interpreter through maven repositories and runned the Zeppelin It worked. But when I stop the Docker and runned again the Interpreter binding was gone. How to solve this Issue ? I want that Interpreter binding one-time so that when ever I stop the docker and run again It has to store those interpreter Binding as it is.

Answer 1

You need 3 volumes for persisting configurations, notebooks and logs.
Note: If you added custom interpreters, you need an additional volume for your interpreter binaries.

docker volume create zeppelin-conf
docker volume create zeppelin-notebook
docker volume create zeppelin-logs
docker volume create zeppelin-interpreter

Run the container with above volumes mounted.

docker run -d --restart always -p 8080:8080 -v zeppelin-conf:/zeppelin/conf -v zeppelin-notebook:/zeppelin/notebook -v zeppelin-logs:/zeppelin/logs -v zeppelin-interpreter:/zeppelin/interpreter apache/zeppelin:0.8.1

If you just want to persist configurations you can use following lines:

docker volume create zeppelin-conf
docker run -d --restart always -p 8080:8080 -v zeppelin-conf:/zeppelin/conf apache/zeppelin:0.8.1

Configurations:/zeppelin/conf
Notebooks: /zeppelin/notebook
Logs: /zeppelin/logs
Interpreters: /zeppelin/interpreter

Edit: The /zeppelin directory is the default home directory for docker images. See Dockerfile. Therefore, you don't need to specify ZEPPELIN_NOTEBOOK_DIR, ZEPPELIN_LOG_DIR or ZEPPELIN_INTERPRETER_DIR environment variables.
