rstudio Adds rstudio
tidyverse Adds tidyverse & devtools

Notes

  • All rocker-versioned images build on debian:jessie, the current stable release of Debian. (r-base and all :latest-tagged rocker images build from debian:testing and debian:unstable repos, which provide more recent versions of libraries and compilers, but the regular updates to these can break dependent packages).
  • rstudio image builds with rstudio v 1.0.44 by default. This can be customized by specifying the desired version in --build-arg RSTUIO_VERSION=<VERSION> if building locally from the rstudio Dockerfile.
  • tidyverse:3.3.2 and verse:3.3.2 images install all packages from an MRAN snapshot of CRAN on the 2016-11-08. install.packages will still default to installing the most recent version available from the RStudio CRAN mirror (https://cran.rstudio.com). Downstream Dockerfiles that install using the install.r script (as used in tidyverse and verse will install from this snapshot, which is stored as REPOS variable in the system Renviron.
  • Users can set a custom snapshot date for the tidyverse image by using --build-arg BUILD_DATE=<DATE> if building locally from the tidyverse Dockerfile.
  • tidyverse:latest and verse:latest will install all R packages using the latest available snapshot of CRAN at the time of build, and always build on the latest version of R from r-ver:latest.
