This repo contains information to setup a dockerized instance with R, Rstudio, Shiny, Radiant, Python, and JupyterLab
To use the docker images you first need to install Docker
- For Mac: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/
- For Windows: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/
- For Linux: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/
After installing Docker, check that it is running by typing docker --version in a terminal. This should return something like the below:
docker --version
Docker version 18.03.1-ce, build 9ee9f40The full rsm-msba setup uses Docker Compose so also check this is available by typing docker-compose --version in a terminal. This should return something like the below:
docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.21.1, build 5a3f1a3On windows please install Git Bash:
http://www.techoism.com/how-to-install-git-bash-on-windows/
For detailed install instructions on Windows see install/rsm-msba-windows.md
For detailed install instructions on macOS see install/rsm-msba-macos.md
To jump straight in and run the main application run the command below on macOS:
docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -p 8787:8787 -p 8989:8888 -v ~:/home/rstudio vnijs/rsm-msbaFor Windows run the command below:
docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -p 8787:8787 -p 8989:8888 -v c:/Users/$USERNAME:/home/rstudio vnijs/rsm-msbaPerhaps even easier, you can start the rsm-msba container on macOS using launch-mac.command and on Windows using launch-windows.sh. To get these files download the repo https://github.com/radiant-rstats/docker or clone the repo using git clone https://github.com/radiant-rstats/docker.git is you have git installed. To run the script on Windows you will need Git Bash installed
as referenced above.
Another alternative approach is to use docker-compose and the command below after cloning the repo:
docker-compose -f ./rsm-msba/docker-rsm-msba.yml upNote: For Windows you may need to change the path in the volumes: section to c:/Users/$USERNAME
For more information about running the radiant application see radiant/README.md
For more information about running the rsm-msba application see rsm-msba/README.md
You probably don't want to run this image by itself. It is used in the radiant and rsm-msba application (see below). To build a new container based on r-bionic add the following at the top of your Dockerfile
FROM vnijs:docker-bionic
To build r-bionic yourself use:
docker build -t $USER/r-bionic ./r-bionicPush to docker hub:
sudo docker login
docker push $USER/r-bionicThe second image builds on r-bionic and adds radiant and required R-packages. To build a new container based on radiant add the following at the top of your Dockerfile
FROM vnijs:radiant
To build radiant yourself use:
docker build -t $USER/radiant ./radiantPush to docker hub:
sudo docker login
docker push $USER/radiantAdd the following to .Rprofile in your home directory
options(radiant.ace_vim.keys = FALSE)
options(radiant.maxRequestSize = -1)
# options(radiant.maxRequestSize = 10 * 1024^2)
options(radiant.report = TRUE)
# options(radiant.ace_theme = "cobalt")
options(radiant.ace_theme = "tomorrow")
# options(radiant.ace_showInvisibles = TRUE)The third image builds on the radiant image and adds python and Jupyter. To build a new container based on rsm-msba add the following at the top of your Dockerfile
FROM vnijs:rsm-msba
To build rsm-msba yourself use:
docker build -t $USER/rsm-msba ./rsm-msbaPush to docker hub:
sudo docker login
docker push $USER/rsm-msbaThe rsm-msba directory also contains a docker-compose file that pulls in a postgres image and database admin tool adminer. To run the full application use the command below.
docker-compose -f ./rsm-msba/docker-rsm-msba.yml upIf you want to install an R-package, e.g., fortune, in a way that persists when using the container again, use the command below. This will install the package and create a personal directory for future package installs. You will only need to add the lib = Sys.getenv("R_LIBS_USER") argument once to generate the personal directory.
install.packages("fortunes", lib = Sys.getenv("R_LIBS_USER"))
If you want to install a python package, e.g., redis, in a way that persists when using the container again, use the command below from the Jupyter (or Rstudio) terminal. This will install the package and create a personal directory for future package installs.
pip3 install -U "redis"
To stop (all) running containers use:
docker kill $(docker ps -q)If the build fails for some reason you can access the container through the bash shell using to investigate what went wrong:
docker run -t -i $USER/rsm-msba /bin/bashTo remove an existing image use:
docker rmi --force $USER/rsm-msbaTo remove stop all running containers, remove unused images, and errand docker processes use the dclean.sh script
./dclean.shCheck the disk space used by docker images
docker ps -sdocker system dfOn mac you can use the commands below to push your custom image to docker hub:
sudo docker login
docker push $USER/rsm-msbaAdd the following to .Rprofile in your home directory
options(radiant.ace_vim.keys = FALSE)
options(radiant.maxRequestSize = -1)
# options(radiant.maxRequestSize = 10 * 1024^2)
options(radiant.report = TRUE)
# options(radiant.ace_theme = "cobalt")
options(radiant.ace_theme = "tomorrow")
# options(radiant.ace_showInvisibles = TRUE)Shiny and Shiny Server are registered trademarks of RStudio, Inc.
