Rocker is a collection of Dockerfiles and Docker images providing preconfigured R environments, including r-base, versioned R images, and RStudio Server containers. It also offers Dev Container Features for installing and configuring R in VS Code and GitHub Codespaces.

Use cases

  • run R in a Docker container
  • set up a reproducible R environment
  • run RStudio Server in Docker
  • install R in a dev container or Codespace
  • test R code against R-devel
  • pin a specific R version for CI

When to choose

  • you want a ready-made, reproducible R environment without manual installation
  • you need RStudio Server accessible from a browser
  • you want versioned R images for reproducible builds or CI

When to avoid

  • you work in R natively and don't use containers
  • you need a lightweight R install without Docker overhead
  • you require non-Linux container images
