nuest/renjin repository overview

⁠renjin-docker

Dockerfiles for automatic builds on Docker Hub for Renjin⁠ (https://www.renjin.org/⁠), an interpreter for R⁠ built on the Java Virtual Machine⁠.

Images on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/nuest/renjin⁠

⁠Run Renjin in container

By default, the image is set up to use Renjin interactively⁠ and an R session is automatically started.

docker run -it --rm nuest/renjin
> R.version
> q()

Stopping the session also stops the container.

You can also start renjin manually and see how R packages are automatically loaded when using library(..) and installed into ~/.m2/repository/org/renjin/cran/.

$ docker run -it nuest/renjin /bin/bash
# renjin

> library("dplyr")
> mtcars$amfactor <- factor(mtcars$am, labels = c("automatic", "manual"))
> summary(lm(mpg ~ factor(amfactor), data = mtcars))$coef
> quit()

# ls /root/.m2/repository/org/renjin/cran/
# exit

(Demo code based on based https://rpubs.com/davoodastaraky/mtRegression⁠.)

⁠Local build

Go into the version directory, then:

docker build --tag renjin .
docker run -it renjin

⁠Versions

Different Renjin versions are supported as tags. The most recent version is taken from the Renjin Nexus⁠, see org.renjin.renjin-debian-package. You can pull all tags to your local machine to get a list of available versions:

docker pull -a nuest/renjin
docker images | grep nuest/renjin

⁠Building geospatial packages in a container

renjin-docker/0.9.2726$ docker build --tag renjin:builder --file Dockerfile.builder .

renjin-docker/packages$ docker build --tag renjin:geospatial .
