Speaking for mybinder.org: Technically yes, in practice probably no.

The tool we use behind the scenes to turn a repository into a running
docker image is https://repo2docker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ which you can
also use locally. However it uses Docker, so if the setup instructions for
the carpentry required software aren't working, chances are that installing
Docker won't work either.

If you install `pip install jupyter-repo2docker` and then run `repo2docker
https://github.com/norvig/pytudes/` in a terminal you get exactly what
you'd get if you visited https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/norvig/pytudes/master
