Dockerized Business Analytics

This repo contains information to setup a docker image with R, Rstudio, Shiny, Radiant, Python, Postgres, JupyterLab, and Code-Server (aka VSCode)

Install Docker

To use the docker images you first need to install Docker

After installing Docker, check that it is running by typing docker --version in a terminal. This should return something like the below:

docker --version
Docker version 18.09.2, build 6247962

On windows please install Git Bash:

http://www.techoism.com/how-to-install-git-bash-on-windows/

For detailed install instructions on Windows see install/rsm-msba-windows.md

For detailed install instructions on macOS see install/rsm-msba-macos.md

r-focal

You probably don't want to run this image by itself. It is used in the radiant, rsm-msba-spark, and rsm-jupyterhub, application (see below). To build a new container based on r-focal add the following at the top of your Dockerfile

FROM vnijs/r-focal:latest

To build r-focal yourself use:

docker build -t $USER/r-focal ./r-focal

To push to docker hub use:

sudo docker login 
docker push $USER/r-focal

radiant

The second image builds on r-focal and adds radiant and required R-packages. To build a new container based on radiant add the following at the top of your Dockerfile

FROM vnijs/radiant:latest

To allow execution of R-code in Report > Rmd and Report > R in Radiant add the following to .Rprofile in your home directory

options(radiant.ace_vim.keys = FALSE)
options(radiant.maxRequestSize = -1)
# options(radiant.maxRequestSize = 10 * 1024^2)
options(radiant.report = TRUE)
# options(radiant.shinyFiles = TRUE)
# options(radiant.ace_theme = "cobalt")
options(radiant.ace_theme = "tomorrow")
# options(radiant.ace_showInvisibles = TRUE)

rsm-msba and rsm-msba-spark

The third and forth images build on the radiant image and adds python, jupyter lab, postgresql, spark, and Code-Server (aka VSCode). To build a new container based on rsm-msba-spark add the following at the top of your Dockerfile

FROM vnijs/rsm-msba-spark:latest

rsm-jupyterlab

This image builds on rsm-msba-spark and is set up to be accessible from a server running jupyter hub.

rsm-vscode

This image contains all R and Python libraries found in rsm-msba-spark and rsm-jupterlab but does not include Jupyter Lab, Shiny server, Rstudio server, or VSCode (codeserver). It is intended to be used with a local install of VSCode. Once you start the container using launch-rsm-vscode you can use "Remote-Containers: Attach to Running Container" from VSCode to connect. Recommended extensions to use with the container are shown in the screenshot below:

vscode extension

Trouble shooting

To stop (all) running containers use:

docker kill $(docker ps -q)

If the build fails for some reason you can access the container through the bash shell using to investigate what went wrong:

docker run -t -i $USER/rsm-msba-spark /bin/bash

To remove an existing image use:

docker rmi --force $USER/rsm-msba-spark

To remove stop all running containers, remove unused images, and errand docker processes use the dclean.sh script

./scripts/dclean.sh

General docker related commands

Check the disk space used by docker images

docker ps -s
docker system df
