## The evercran CRAN snapshots
The evercran project has daily CRAN snapshots, starting from the very
beginning up to today. The URLs are of the form
```
http://evercran.r-pkg.org/YYYY/MM/DD
https://evercran.r-pkg.org/YYYY/MM/DD
```
and they start at 1999/01/01.
Package downloads are redirected to CRAN, so you will need an R download
method that follows redirection.
All the evercran containers (from R 0.65.1) in this repository are already
set up to an appropriate evercran snapshot: they use the date of the
*next* R release. (Except for the container of the latest R release, of
course, that uses a regular CRAN mirror instead of a snapshot.)
To use an evercran snapshot on a different R installation,
this should work on all R versions, as of today:
```
options(CRAN = "http://evercran.r-pkg.org/2010/10/10")
options(repos = c(CRAN = "http://evercran.r-pkg.org/2010/10/10"))
options(download.file.method = "wget")
```
Modify the URLs to use the snapshot date you'd like.
Add this to the `~/.Rprofile` file.
You'll also need to install `wget` for the downloads to
work.
You can use a https URL if your `wget` installation supports https.
## R 0.0 (alpha-test) -- R 2.5.1
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
docker run -ti ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
```
These containers use Debian 3.1 (Sarge). Notes:
* All containers use the `linux/i386` architecture.
* While `wget` and `curl` have HTTPS support, in practice HTTPS
does not work because of certificate errors.
* You can use the HTTP (not HTTPS!) PPA at https://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran/
to install more R versions:
```sh
echo 'deb http://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran sarge main' \
>> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y r-1.0.0
```
* The Debian R packages are also available as GitHub Releases, in the
https://github.com/r-hub/R repository, e.g.:
https://github.com/r-hub/R/releases/tag/v1.0.0
(But you cannot directly download these from the containers, because
of the broken HTTPS. Use the PPA to download them.)
## R 2.6.0 -- R 2.8.1
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
docker run -ti ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
```
These containers use Debian 4.0 (Etch). Notes:
* All containers use the `linux/i386` architecture.
* While `wget` and `curl` have HTTPS support, in practice HTTPS
does not work well, because they use TLS v1, which is not supported by many
servers.
* You can use the HTTP (not HTTPS!) PPA at https://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran/
to install more R versions:
```sh
echo 'deb http://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran etch main' \
>> /etc/apt/sources.list
curl -L http://ppa.r-pkg.org/rhub.gpg.key | apt-key add -
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y r-2.6.0
```
* The Debian R packages are also available as GitHub Releases, in the
https://github.com/r-hub/R repository, e.g.:
https://github.com/r-hub/R/releases/tag/v2.6.0
(But you cannot directly download these from the containers, because
of the broken HTTPS. Use the PPA to download them.)
## R 2.9.0 -- R 2.12.2
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
docker run -ti ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
```
These containers use Debian 5.0.10 (Lenny). Notes:
* All containers use the `linux/i386` architecture.
* While `wget` and `curl` have HTTPS support, in practice HTTPS
does not work well, because they use TLS v1, which is not supported by many
servers.
* You can use the HTTP (not HTTPS!) PPA at https://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran/
to install more R versions:
```sh
echo 'deb http://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran lenny main' \
>> /etc/apt/sources.list
curl -L http://ppa.r-pkg.org/rhub.gpg.key | apt-key add -
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y r-2.9.0
```
* The Debian R packages are also available as GitHub Releases, in the
https://github.com/r-hub/R repository, e.g.:
https://github.com/r-hub/R/releases/tag/v2.9.0
(But you cannot directly download these from the containers, because
of the broken HTTPS. Use the PPA to download them.)
## R 2.13.0 -- R 2.15.3
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
docker run -ti ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
```
These containers use Debian 6.0.10 (Squeeze). Notes:
* All containers use the `linux/i386` architecture.
* While `wget` and `curl` have HTTPS support, in practice HTTPS
does not work well, because they use TLS v1, which is not supported by many
servers.
* You can use the HTTP (not HTTPS!) PPA at https://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran/
to install more R versions:
```sh
echo 'deb http://ppa.r-pkg.org/evercran squeeze main' \
>> /etc/apt/sources.list
curl -L http://ppa.r-pkg.org/rhub.gpg.key | apt-key add -
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y r-2.13.0
```
* The Debian R packages are also available as GitHub Releases, in the
https://github.com/r-hub/R repository, e.g.:
https://github.com/r-hub/R/releases/tag/v2.13.0
(But you cannot directly download these from the containers, because
of the broken HTTPS. Use the PPA to download them.)
## R 3.0.0 -- R 4.4.1
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
docker run -ti ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/<version>
```
These containers use Debian 12.1 (Bookworm). Notes:
* All containers are available with `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`
architectures.
* The amd64 Debian packages are available from
https://github.com/rstudio/r-builds.
* The arm64 Debian packages are available from the GitHub Releases at the
https://github.com/r-hub/R repository E.g.
https://github.com/r-hub/R/releases/tag/v4.3.1.
* To install additional R versions (or to install in a plain
`debian:12` container, download it with `wget` or `curl`, ant install it
with `apt install ./<filename>`. E.g.:
```sh
apt-get update
apt-get install -y curl
curl -LO https://github.com/r-hub/R/releases/download/v4.3.1/r-rstudio-debian-12-4.3.1_1_arm64.deb
apt install -y ./r-rstudio-debian-12-4.3.1_1_arm64.deb
/opt/R/4.3.1/bin/R
```
## Containers with multiple R versions
For convenience we have containers that include many R versions installed.
All R versions are installed in `/opt/R/<version>`, so you can run one with
```
/opt/R/<version>/bin/R
```
For example to run R 0.65.1:
```
/opt/R/0.65.1/bin/R
```

|:---------------------------------------|:-----------------------------|:------------------------|
| R 0.0 (alpha-test) -- R 0.16.1 (alpha) | `ghcr.io/r-hub/evercran/pre` | Debian Sarge 3.1 i386 |

## Frequently asked questions
<details>
<summary>Why does `list.files()` return an empty vector?</summary>
If you see something like
```
> list.files("/opt/R")
character(0)
```
then you need to run the entry point of the container, see the question
after the next one.
</details>
<details>
<summary>
Why is the architecture detected as `x86_64` instead of `i386`?
</summary>
You need to run the entry point of the container, see the next question.
</details>
<details>
<summary>`docker run` works, but `docker exec` does not, why?</summary>
Running 32bit (`i386`) containers on arm64 and amd64 platforms is tricky,
and to make everything work properly, we need to run a special entry point.
This entry point runs with `docker run`, but it does not for `docker exec`,
and you need to run it manually:
```
docker exec -it <container> entrypoint.sh bash
```
If you don't run the entry point then on arm64 hosts you might get file
system errors (https://github.com/r-hub/evercran/issues/7). On amd64
platforms typically the architecture will be mis-detected
(https://github.com/r-hub/evercran/issues/3).
