This setup allows you to work with R in R Studio in the browser.
You will have to install Docker first if you haven't already!
- Clone repository with
HTTPS:
git clone https://github.com/omeldar/r-in-a-container.git
SSH:
git@github.com:omeldar/r-in-a-container.git
- Execute the command below in the git repositories folder.
docker compose up -d
This step might take up to 2-15 minutes depending on your device's performance and your download speed.
- When the container has started go to your browser and visit: http://localhost:8787/
- Log in with user: rstudio and default password: Init1234
If you want to add new scripts to your environment (f.e. after you get them from the teacher). Put the scripts into the data directory where you can also find the example.R script. You'll see in RStudio on the right bottom side, that another folder scripts will appear, from which you can then load the scripts (that are locally in the data folder).
Default working directory is set to be home/rstudio. So to load csv files from the data folder you can just use read.csv("source/data/filename.csv").
Install additional r packages using the below command directly in RStudio
install.packages("package-name")
Replace 'package-name' with the package you want to install.
If you want to change the username and password to log in, you can do so in the docker-compose.yml under environment.
I did not try this so far, you might need to change it in the Dockerfile too.
