⁠TL;DR, BLUF, Just-the-image-please

cd /your/R/project
docker run -it --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/home/guest/work \
    -p 49000:8787 \
    cabeceo/docker-rstudio-server

⁠What is this?

Docker image that runs rstudio server; also contains a few pretty popular plugins as well as a blas implementation via apt-get.

Inspired by this rstudio-server docker⁠, with some philosophical differences:

• Avoid ubuntu mal/bloatware
• Add latest R packages via cran [current R version: 3.4.0]
• Add r-recommended and other R packages via apt-get

Useful for any or all of the following reasons:

• You are on arch linux and don't want to clutter your installed repositories with the stuff needed to build rstudio
• You're on debian or ubuntu but don't want to install some random .deb
• You're on OS X and don't want to install RStudio itself
• You like reproducible research and don't want to clutter up your installed R packages on your personal setup
• [your reason here]

⁠Build

If you want to build from scratch:

./build-image.sh

⁠Run

First you have to build, per above.

./run-image.sh

Here you can change the port if you need to, or whatever other settings you want.

You can then hit localhost:port and login.
