Multiple issues with CLTK container at Docker Hub

At https://hub.docker.com/r/cltk/cltk which is listed as an official Dockerfile, though marked as a container by Docker Hub, the command `docker pull cltk/cltk’ fails.

There is a container that seems to work: https://hub.docker.com/r/achaitanyasai/cltk – though it’s not marked as “official”.

In addition, the Dockerfile at https://github.com/cltk/cltk_docker is based on a Python 3.5.2 image, so it’s out of date.

Finally, I wonder if it would be useful to preload some models in the container, since new users of Docker may not realize they have to take extra steps to persist changed state in the container, i.e. new files. For example, we might preload the more popular Greek and Latin models. Or perhaps create separate containers for the languages?

@kylepjohnson might you add me to the cltk account at Docker Hub? I’d like to submit a container that also has Jupyter installed, so that users can pull down a container and immediately get to work in a browser.

@free-variation yes, there’s definite value in that. It sounds like you want to tackle this and I think it would be a valuable contribution.

@todd-cook do you think there’s value in the scenario from above, where a new user can run (in one command) a container, then use a browser pointed at the container to play with the system?

For example, the current tutorials could be repackaged as notebooks, so that they’re interactive.
