title: Is it possible to create a google cloud datalab instance not using datalab-network?
body: <p>Because the way we use GCP, it's not possible for me to create a datalab-network in my setup. So when I create a Datalab instances though "datalab create", I get an error (ERROR: ...Required 'compute.networks.create' permission for 'projects/xxxx').</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to setup datalab and use my own network? I have tried to set it up like suggested here (<a href="http://e-lin.github.io/wiki/jekyll/update/2016/12/13/Running-Google-Cloud-Datalab.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://e-lin.github.io/wiki/jekyll/update/2016/12/13/Running-Google-Cloud-Datalab.html</a>) but I am not sure this is officially supported. When I open my browser at localhost:8081 I get a ERR_CONNECTION_RESET, and when I log onto the Compute Engine VM I don't see anything listening to port 8080 (docker ps does not show anything running). Do we need to start docker explicitly in such a case?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
