Build Status

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 sanitizers | | | r-devel-ubsan-clang | Sanitizers, 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, e.g :4.0.0, :latest, :devel. See rocker-versioned2 repo for details. R 3.x versions are built from the older recipes in rocker-versioned

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
