R configurations for Docker

rocker

Overview

This repository contains Dockerfiles for different Docker containers of interest to R users.

Getting Started

To get started right away, ensure you have Docker installed and start a container with docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-base (see here for the docker run command options). In this case we are starting the r-base container (the base package to build from) in an interactive mode, see below for details of the other containers currently available. To get started on the rstudio container or its derivative containers (eg. hadleyverse and ropensci) you need to open a port, see the instructions in the wiki. The wiki also contains further instructions and information on the project, including how to extend these images and contribute to development.

Status

This is work in progress; please read our instructions to contributors and talk to @eddelbuettel and @cboettig about how to get involved.

Base Docker Containers

image	description	size	metrics	build status
r-base	Current R via apt-get with debian:testing & unstable repos
r-devel	R-devel added side-by-side onto r-base (using alias RD)
drd	lighter r-devel, built not quite daily
r-ver	Specify R version in docker tag. Builds on debian:stable

Use cases

The rocker project also hosts Docker images illustrating particular use cases. More information about these can be found in their respective respositories on rocker-org

Unversioned images (builds on r-base)

image	description	size	metrics	build status
r-devel-san	as r-devel, but built with compiler sanatizers
r-devel-ubsan-clan	Sanatizers, clang c compiler (instead of gcc)
rstudio:testing	rstudio on debian:testing
shiny	shiny-server on r-base
r-apt	(R plus CRAN + marutter repo information)

Versioned stack (builds on r-ver)

These images build on rocker/r-ver. Each of these include tags to specify the desired version of R, from 3.1.0- 3.4.0, :latest and :devel. See rocker-versioned repo for details.

image	description	size	metrics	build status
rstudio	Adds rstudio
tidyverse	Adds tidyverse & devtools
verse	Adds tex & publishing-related packages
geospatial	Adds geospatial libraries

Anyone interested in proposing or collaborating on additional use cases should read our guide to contributing and get in touch
