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)

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.
