The repository has been completely reorganized. See #776 for details. (#782)

2023-12

Changes in pre-built images

  • For images that ship with a python environment installed, the default python environment will now be a virtual environment created at /opt/venv. (#718)

Changes in rocker_scripts

  • install_python.sh will now setup a virtual environment under /opt/venv, and this will be the default python environment (accomplished via setting the $PATH and $VIRTUAL_ENV variables). /opt/venv will be owned by the staff group so non-root users can safely install python packages. (#718)

2023-11

Changes in pre-built images

  • Switch the base URL of CRAN mirrors (P3M, formerly RSPM) from https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran to https://p3m.dev/cran (#722)
  • rocker/verse and images that inherit from it now include necessary LaTex packages to allow Rmarkdown to knit to PDF out of the box. (#721)

Changes in rocker_scripts

  • install_texlive.sh will now install additional LaTeX packages required for Rmarkdown to knit to PDF. This will increase the build time and size of the final image in cases where install_texlive.sh is called. (#721)

2023-10

Changes in pre-built images

  • rocker/binder now includes necessary LaTeX packages to allow Jupyter Notebooks to be converted to PDF. (#714)

Changes in rocker_scripts

  • install_jupyter.sh will now install TexLive if it is not installed, and add additional LaTeX packages needed for Jupyter PDF conversion. This will increase the build time and size of the final image in cases install_jupyter.sh is called.

2023-04

Changes in pre-built images

  • New standards for R versions of images for routine builds. (#624)
    • All patch versions associated with the last 2 minor versions (release and oldrel)
    • All minor versions R >= 4.0
  • rocker/binder's default command is changed from jupyter notebook to jupyter lab. (#628)

2022-12

Changes in pre-built images

  • Switch the base URL of CRAN mirrors (RSPM) from https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran to https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran (#574)

2022-11

Changes in pre-built images

  • lsb-release and python3 (a dependency of lsb-release), are no longer included in rocker/r-ver. (#511)

2022-10

Changes in pre-built images

  • cuda version tags, like rocker/cuda:cuda10.1, rocker/ml:4.2.1-cuda10.1 are obsolete for R 4.2.2 or later images. Only the R version tags like rocker/cuda:4.2.2, rocker/ml-verse:latest will remain. rocker/cuda R >= 4.2.2 corresponds to rocker/cuda:cuda11.1 before R.4.2.1 and uses nvidia/cuda:X.Y.Z-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu22.04 as the base image. Therefore, the image size is significantly larger (+6GB) from rocker/cuda R <= 4.2.1, which installed cuda on rocker/r-ver (based on ubuntu:focal). (#516)
  • The aliases of rocker/cuda which was pushed to rocker/r-ver (rocker/r-ver:X.Y.Z-cuda10.1 and rocker/r-ver:X.Y.Z-cuda11.1) are obsolete. (#516)

2022-09

Changes in pre-built images

  • RStudio Server user settings are written to ~/.config/rstudio/rstudio-prefs.json, not ~/.rstudio/monitored/user-settings/user-settings. (#63)
  • In rocker/rstudio etc., /usr/local/bin/rstudio-server is no longer added to the PATH environment variable. rstudio-server and rserver can still be called by the executable file name, since simlinks are now created, but the other files must be called by their full path, e.g. /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rsession. (#535, #538, #541)

2022-07

Changes in rocker_scripts

  • install_binder.sh is renamed to install_jupyter.sh. (#494)
  • install_python.sh no longer installs pyenv. (#494)
  • Update install_quarto.sh for the first stable release of quarto cli. (#506)
    • The default behavior of install_quarto.sh has been changed so that if quarto bundled with RStudio is detected, it will use the quarto cli bundled with RStudio instead of installing quarto cli.
    • Specifying ./install_quarto.sh prerelease now installs the latest prerelease version of quarto cli.

Changes in pre-built images

  • rocker/binder, rocker/cuda, rocker/ml and rocker/ml-verse no longer configure a default python venv and no longer installs pyenv. (#494)
  • Update to address RStudio Server now bundling stable release version of quarto cli. (#506)
    • New builds of rocker/verse and rocker/ml-verse for 4.1.0 <= R <= 4.2.0 will install quarto cli version 1.0.36.
    • New builds of rocker/rstudio and rocker/ml for R >= 4.2.1 (with RStudio Server v2022.07.1+554 or later) will be configured to use the quarto cli bundled with RStudio Server system-wide.

2022-06

Changes in rocker_scripts

  • install_quarto.sh was changed to not install R packages and only install quarto cli. (#487)

Changes in pre-built images

2022-04

Changes in pre-built images

  • R 4.0.0 images built on Ubuntu 18.04 (rocker/r-ver:4.0.0-ubuntu18.04, rocker/rstudio:4.0.0-ubuntu18.04, rocker/tidyverse:4.0.0-ubuntu18.04, rocker/verse:4.0.0-ubuntu18.04, rocker/geospatial:4.0.0-ubuntu18.04) are no longer built.

  • Change the date of the CRAN mirrors that were set for the R 4.0.0, R 4.0.1, R 4.0.2, and R 4.0.3 images. This reconfiguration was done mechanically, selecting the mirrors just before the release date of the next version of R. (#328)
    • R 4.0.0: 2020-06-08 to 2020-06-04 (The next version, R 4.0.1 was released on 2020-06-06)
    • R 4.0.1: 2020-06-25 to 2020-06-18 (The next version, R 4.0.2 was released on 2020-06-22)
