Switch user to jovyan

Looks like you're using the jupyter/minimal image. Awesome!

Though not necessarily required, it seems like you could switch your default user back to jovyan so you don't have users running as root.

Thanks! This repo is actually outdated, we're now using the one over at https://github.com/CodeNeuro/notebooks/blob/master/worker/docker/base/Dockerfile.

For the base image, we wanted to include our own custom css / templates / nbprofile, and since the jupyter/minimal docker image already contained custom components, we ended up essentially duplicating it but linking to our own. Maybe there's a better way to more directly customize jupyter/minimal? We'd be happy to try and contribute to that.

And thanks for flagging the username in any case, we'll definitely fix that!

Ah! That's ok. You're also by no means being pushed to use jupyter/minimal. That was born of wanting a simpler build & deployment on my end.

Looking over it, maybe there's a series of images we should put out. Originally, that's what the ipython/ipython image series were for but I wanted to use conda for the demo images.

That's a great idea! Maybe one base image with the core conda install / setup / basic profile config, and others that also add the custom static assets (including the relevant changes to ipython_notebook_config.py). Something more modular would be really cool, but support for reusing image components still seems in development (moby/moby#12749).
