So I started seeing things on twitter about using docker to run a standard version of R and with most the libraries I use on a regular basis already installed. I gave it a shot and now I need to sort this out even more – what a great tool! In addition, if you have a group of people using R on a project it should be quite simple to state the image to use or actually provide the image of R, Rstudio, and all the packages in one place.
