About

Simple docker container that runs an R-script.

Guide to create the container

Clone locally a copy of this repo by running:

 git clone git@github.com:marlycormar/rocker_with_docker-compose.git

Spin-up the container in detached mode (-d):
```
 docker-compose up -d
```

The R-script

The Test.R file prints 'Hello World!' in the terminal and creates a dummy file named 'hello_world.txt'.

Base docker image

The Dockerfile uses as its base image the rocker/tidyverse image which comes with r-ver, rstudio, tidyverse, and verse. For more info, please see the docker hub rocker/tidyverse or its corresponding github repo rocker-versioned.
