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
