R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. See more at https://www.r-project.org/
The main goal of these images is to keep them minimal, so they can be used
as part of a bigger (web) application, or as a base image. Currently the
r-minimal
image is less than 20MB compressed, and 32MB uncompressed.
All images use Alpine Linux.
The images include the installr
tools that can install R packages from
CRAN or GitHub.
To keep the images minimal, they do not include a number of parts and features that most users would prefer to have for interactive R development:
Changes in this repository:
Get the image from Docker Hub:
docker pull docker.io/rexyai/r-minimal:latest
One of our main goals is to be able to use rexyai/r-minimal
as a base
image, and easily add R packages from CRAN or GitHub to it, to create a
new image. Run installr
from a Dockerfile
to add R packages to
the r-minimal
image:
Package with compiled code:
FROM rexyai/r-minimal
RUN installr -d glue
After the package(s) have been installed, installr
removed the compilers,
as these are typically not needed on the final image. If you want to keep
them use installr -c
instead of installr -d
.
Package with system requirements:
FROM rexyai/r-minimal
RUN installr -d -t linux-headers pingr
CMD [ "R", "-q", "-e", "pingr::is_online() || stop('offline')" ]
Similarly to compilers, system packages are removed after the R packages
have been installed. If you want to keep (some of) them, use installr -a
instead of installr -t
. (You can also mix the two.)
Hints on installing some R packages:
package | installr command | ~ image size |
---|---|---|
data.table | installr -d -t zlib-dev data.table | 35.8 MB |
rsparse (with openblas) | see examples/rsparse/Dockerfile | 94.0 MB |
See examples
directory for more details.
