Docker containers for R developers
Available containers
Our ultimate goal is to have containers that match all primary CRAN Linux systems and all extra CRAN checks.
Currently we have the following CRAN-like containers:
| CRAN name | R-hub name | OS | R version | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang | ubuntu-clang | Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS | R Under development (unstable) (2024-07-01 r86857) | Details |
