nb7

[parmentelat]

the default install of notebook being now nb7, there are a few changes that need to be done for a smooth transition

• provide a means for courses to stick to nb6

  • dockerhub exposes a notebook-6.5.4 tag
  • we need a way to rebuild the nbhosting corresponding images
  • warn users that their course's Dockerfile will need to adapt:

• write a jupyterlab-nbhosting jlab extension that customizes the default notebook menus and such, so that we get something alike the patchy nb-classic menus - ongoing work in https://github.com/parmentelat/jupyterlab-nbhosting

  • remove spurrious / not so useful entries
  • add our 3 additions : reset to original, share static version, show student id

• there may be a need for this extension to behave differently whether we run in mooc mode (customization needed) or not (less crucial and maybe even harmful); in which case the simplest way could be to use an environment variable to switch between both mode;

mostly this is done by now, remains to deploy

• with ensip
• with the x-* courses

also there might be a need to tweak the nbh script to take into account the following messages isued within nb7 containers
