akzaidi/mrclient-rstudio repository overview

⁠Docker Image for Microsoft R Client with RStudio Server

Microsoft R Client⁠ is an enhanced distribution of R that includes scalable machine learning and data processing packages. This Docker image installs the latest version of R Client on a Ubuntu 16.04 container. In addition to a complete distribution of R Client, this Docker image contains pre-trained models for image and text featurization, as well as a community version of RStudio Server.

⁠How to Use This Docker Image

The best way to use this Docker image is to pull and build or run the image directly from Docker Hub.

docker pull akzaidi/mrclient-rstudio

You can run the docker client and forward port 8787 for RStudio to your localhost:

docker run -d -p 8787:8787 akzaidi/mrclient-rstudio

Then navigate to localhost:8787 in your browser and login to the RStudio Server instance using the username rstudio and password rstudio.

⁠Example Usage of MicrosoftML

One of the main packages of R Client is a scalable machine learning package called MicrosoftML. I have created a short course describing how to use the MicrosoftML package for common machine learning applications. For your convenience, the repository github.com/Azure/learnAnalytics-MicrosoftML⁠ is already cloned into the default home directory. Feel free to open up the .Rmd files and run the examples directly in RStudio Server.

The repoistory's tutorials are available in a book you can find here: azure.github.io/learnAnalytics-MicrosoftML/⁠.

⁠Licensing

Microsoft R Client has special licensing terms, which you agree to if you use this Docker image. The licensing information for MRO and MKL can be found online at MRO and MKL licenses⁠.
