built from rocker/tidyverse

$ docker pull pokyah/agrometeordocker

You can run it with the docker-run-agrometeor.sh <PORT_NUMBER> bash command available in this repo. Once the command is executed, open your web browser and go at http://localhost:<PORT_NUMBER>. This URL will launch Rstudio at the provided port number. The first time you open it, you will be prompted for a login and password. The container uses the defaults settings of the rocker/rstudio image. Log in with username:password as rstudio:rstudio.

You can run multiple instances of rstudio server at the sametime. Simply provide a different port number for each of your instances. This could be useful to work on multiple projects at the same time. (e.g. writing a blogdown tutorial in a container while doing heavy calculation on another one).

You can launch your docker container using a shortcut command and also make your Rstudio-docker instance behave like a native app

$ chmod a+x docker-run-agrometeor.sh

if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

• Create a folder .local/bin in your home directory if it does not exists

$ mkdir `~/.local/bin

• make the simlink to the docker-run-agrometeor.sh in your ~/.local/bin/ folder that allow to launch it using the simple command agrometeorDocker :

$ sudo ln -sf /location/of/docker-run-agrometeor.sh ~/.local/bin/agrometeorDocker

Now, from anywhere, if you type agrometeorDocker, the container will be executed

If you are using Chromium/Chrome, open http://localhost:8787, click on the 3 stacked dots icon, and choose More tool > Add to desktop. Rstudio will be available as a native app that integrates perfectly with your desktop environment (only tested under Gnome).

user : rstudio password : rstudio

Below this line : not working yet

you need to execute the agrometeorDocker command as root user at boot without typing password. For this, edit /etc/local.rc :

$ cd /etc
$ sudo nano local.rc

by pasting agrometeorDocker right before the line exit0 and by making the rc.local file executable :

sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
