💨 💨 The Binder Project is moving to a new repo. 💨 💨

📚 Same functionality. Better performance for you. 📚

Over the past few months, we've been improving Binder's architecture and infrastructure. We're retiring this repo as it will no longer be actively developed. Future development will occur under the JupyterHub organization.

• All development of the Binder technology will occur in the binderhub repo
• Documentation for users will occur in the jupyterhub binder repo
• All conversations and chat for users will occur in the jupyterhub binder gitter channel

Thanks for updating your bookmarked links.

binder-db

Functions for consistent database access across from all Binder modules

All Binder modules expect to have access to a writable MongoDB instance. The db service provided by binder-control, started with binder-control start-service db will launch a Docker container with a preconfigured Mongo instance (and configurable properties in binder-control).

All configuration options are in conf/main.json.
