The Rocker Images: choosing a container
The rocker project provides a collection of containers suited for different needs. find a base image to extend or images with popular software and optimized libraries pre-installed. Get the latest version or a reproducibly fixed environment.
The versioned stack
image | description | size | metrics | build status |
---|---|---|---|---|
r-ver | Specify R version in docker tag. Builds on debian:stable |
|||
rstudio | Adds rstudio | |||
tidyverse | Adds tidyverse & devtools | |||
verse | Adds tex & publishing-related packages | |||
geospatial | Adds geospatial libraries |
This stack builds on stable Debian releases (debian:8
for versions < 3.4.1
, debian:9
after). Images in this stack accept a version tag specifying which version of R is desired, e.g. rocker/rstudio:3.4.0
for R 3.4.0
. Version-tagged images are designed to be stable, consistently providing the same versions of all software (R, R packages, system libraries) rather than the latest available (though Debian system libraries will still recieve any security patches.) Omit the tag or specify :latest
to always recieve the latest (nightly build) versions, or :devel
for an image running on the current development (pre-release) version of R. This is a linear stack, with each image extending the previous one.
The base stack
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 |
This stack builds on debian:testing
and debian:unstable
. This is a branched stack, with all other images extending r-base
. Use this stack if you want access to the latest versions of system libraries and compilers through apt-get
.
Additional images
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) |
