Docker Image repo for the MIDS w203 class

The image is available from dockerhub from kmartcontainers/w203

System Requirements

• 4 GB free storage
• 64 bit chip architecture (no apple M1 chips 😞)
• Docker Installed

Using the image

Any way that you start the image, you will access rstudio the same way. Once the container is up and running direct your browser to the running rstudio server instance by putting localhost:8788 in the address bar of your favorite internet browser.

Once you get there, you'll enter rstudio as the username and foo as the password on the login screen**.

Starting the image option 1: docker run ...

You can start the container by pasting the following onto your command line and hitting enter.

docker run -d --rm -v ~:/home/rstudio/kitematic/ --name rstudio \-p 8788:8787 -e PASSWORD=foo kmartcontainers/w203:latest

Tearing down the image

To bring down the container make sure you save your files then run docker stop rstudio in any terminal window.

Starting the image option 2: docker compose

You can start the container by running docker compose up from a terminal which is pointed to the directory where the docker-compose.yaml file is stored.

You can bring down the container by running docker compose down from a new terminal window also pointed to the same directory where the docker-compose.yaml file is located.

**Note: The password foo is illustrative. You can use whatever password you want (or no password even)
