This repository provides two latest-version docker images running R on the current release of Arch Linux, and maintained by Danielle Navarro. The relevant dockerfiles and any files they copy to the image are in the base and test folders of this repository.

For both images, "base" and "test":

• Use archlinux:base-devel as the image
• Install R (using the r package)
• Use en_US.UTF-8 to set the system locale

In addition, the "test" image:

• Installs the git, pandoc, texlive-most, and texlive-fontsextra system dependencies
• Installs the remotes, knitr, rmarkdown, testthat, rcmdcheck, covr, and gert R packages

The images are hosted on the github container registry, as packages linked to the arch-r github repository:

• https://github.com/djnavarro/arch-r/pkgs/container/arch-r-base
• https://github.com/djnavarro/arch-r/pkgs/container/arch-r-test

To install the base or test image:

docker pull ghcr.io/djnavarro/arch-r-base:release
docker pull ghcr.io/djnavarro/arch-r-test:release 

To use one of these images in your own Dockerfile:

FROM ghcr.io/djnavarro/arch-r-base:release
FROM ghcr.io/djnavarro/arch-r-test:release

The images are released under GPL-3. I'm very happy for anyone to use them however they choose but please be aware that this is a personal side-project. If you are looking to run R reproducibly in a containerised environment I strongly recommend the rocker project as a safer and superior option.
