nuest/pqr repository overview

⁠pqr-docker

This repository contains Dockerfiles for images with pqR⁠ - "a pretty quick version of R". The Dockerfiles here and the images created with them have no connection to the pqR project.

docker run -it --rm nuest/pqr

This will take you to an R prompt. Check the startup message for information on configuration and CRAN mirror.

There are tagged build for selected releases. Pleas open an issue if you need a different release.

• 2019-02-19 (latest)
• 2017-06-09

⁠Build locally

cd 2019-02-19
docker build --tag pqr .

docker run --it --rm pqr

⁠Image for development version

You can build and run a Docker image for a specific commit of the source code with the following command:

REF=<my commit or branch>; docker build --tag pqr:$(echo $REF) --build-arg REF=$REF --file dev/Dockerfile .
docker run --rm -it pqr:$(echo $REF)
# use R, quit container
unset REF

⁠Multi-stage builds [WIP]

It could be useful to apply a multi-stage build to reduce images size. Some snippets to get that started:

# multi-stage build to get rid of build artifacts and sources > installing packages from source needs make, and probably more... so let's keep the image large but complete for now
FROM debian:stretch
ENV PQR_VERSION=2017-06-09
RUN sed -i "s/deb.debian.org/cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/" /etc/apt/sources.list \
    && sed -i "s/security.debian.org/cdn-fastly.debian.org\/debian-security/" /etc/apt/sources.list \
    && apt-get update \
	&& apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        gfortran \
        libreadline-dev \
        make
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R
