The Rocker Project

Docker Containers for the R Environment


Getting Started

Ensure you have Docker installed and start R inside a container with:

docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-base

Or get started with an RStudio® instance:

docker run -e PASSWORD=yourpassword --rm -p 8787:8787 rocker/rstudio

and point your browser to localhost:8787. Log in with user/password rstudio/yourpassword. If a password is not provided, a randomly generated password will be given in the docker log for the container. Check the terminal output or use docker logs command to check.

For more information and further options, see the use page.
