Cool! So now I have this Python notebook running (I guess) on docker, and it tells me:

    [I 08:37:21.591 NotebookApp] Writing notebook server cookie secret to /.local/share/jupyter/runtime/notebook_cookie_secret
    [I 08:37:21.757 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /neural-nets
    [I 08:37:21.758 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels 
    [I 08:37:21.759 NotebookApp] The IPython Notebook is running at: http://0.0.0.0:8888/
    [I 08:37:21.759 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).

What next? Should I be looking for a python notebook tutorial, or a docker tutorial, or both?

The author lists some commands to run, but it isn't clear where to type those commands. All I see is a terminal with the above output.

I don't know anything about Docker, but to use iPython Notebook, you need to open it in a browser. The command line starts a local web server. It says it is running at "http://0.0.0.0:8888/" in your case (which sounds invalid). Usually, Notebook opens the browser for you automatically when it starts. I guess Docker interferes with that.

0.0.0.0 is valid. It means the server is listening on all available addresses (as opposed to, say, only 127.0.0.1)

Open a browser and navigate to your docker container's :8888 port. That would be localhost:9990 if you used the docker commandline given in the repo.

Or :9990 on the Docker Machine VM's IP address if you're using Machine.

Notebook is OK (love the inline matplotlib!!) and publish to HTML is neat, but I prefer pycharm -> docker feature now.

You follow the link in the article (the localhost:99... one) and then you can use the notebook in your web browser.
