Containerization

Updates on the Containerization Branch

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a new branch called containerization and made some key updates compared to our previous main branch. Please take a look:

1. Removed the conda-lock.yml file:
   I had to remove this file because when it exists in the working directory, the conda-lock tool generates .lock files for multiple operating systems, not just for linux-64.

2. Added mamba to the dependencies in dsci522_environment.yml:
   Without explicitly adding mamba as a dependency, creating a container from the Dockerfile results in an error. It seems that the conda-linux-64.lock file inadvertently removes mamba from the minimal Jupyter image.

3. Tested the Dockerfile:
   I built an image from the Dockerfile using the following command:

   docker build --tag practtest --platform=linux/amd64 .

Please update this with the version for each dependency- this improves the consistency of the computational environment.

update the python version to 3.11 to resolve the error below(error generated from building the container locally)

[cs-uche]

compare the notebook and environment file and remove unused dependencies like category_encoders

[AzinPiran]

Sure, I will do it.

I've pinned all of the packages' version and tested our notebook, it is working. and also I created the image successfully from our Dockerfile. please find the attached picture.
