MRO-RStudio

Construct a Docker image featuring the RStudio Server IDE running atop the Microsoft R Open (MRO) distribution of R. The Dockerfile is heavily based on the rocker/rstudio image except that the rocker image is based on Debian (rather than Ubuntu 18.04) and the rocker image tracks the official GNU/R distribution.

Quickstart

To use the image, run:

docker run -d --rm -p 8787:8787 -e PASSWORD=your_password blueogive/mro-rstudio

and browse to http://127.0.0.1:8787 or, equivalently, http://localhost:8787 on the host where the container is running. When presented with the RStudio login screen, enter username as docker and password as your_password.

To mount the working directory as a volume within the container:

docker run -d --rm -p 8787:8787 -v $(pwd):/home/docker/work -e PASSWORD=your_password blueogive/mro-rstudio

Adding a Shiny Server

As with the rocker/rstudio image, you can elect to install and start a Shiny Server when you instantiate the container. To do so, start the container with this command:

docker run -d --rm -p 8787:8787 -e ADD=shiny -e PASSWORD=your_password blueogive/mro-rstudio
