In reconhub/nomad: Create Portable R Repositories

nomad via docker

Get the image

Build the image with:

docker build --rm --tag reconhub/nomad -f docker/Dockerfile .

Or pull from dockerhub:

docker pull reconhub/nomad

Run the image

with $DEST holding the path to your configuration, run:

docker run --rm --user $(id -u) -v $(realpath $DEST):/build reconhub/nomad

• the --rm argument removes the container on exit
• the --user $(id -u) argument means that the permissions of the created files will match your user permission (usually what you want, unless you're using a named volume)
• The -v $(realpath $DEST):/build argument maps the $DEST directory to /build in the container (which is nomad's default place to look). Docker requires the absolute path, which we get with realpath

A runnable minimal example:

DEST=mynomad
mkdir $DEST

cat <<EOF > $DEST/nomad.yml
git: false
r: false
rstudio: false
rtools: false
EOF

echo "ape" > $DEST/package_list.txt

docker run --rm --user `id -u` -v `realpath $DEST`:/build reconhub/nomad
