Installare R packages in docker

A causa di una applicazione legacy dovevo dovevo usare R ver 3 che non eà compatibile con R ver 4 (era esclusa la riscittura del codice) 

Dopo un po' di tentativi la strada piu' lineare e' stata quella di creare un container con il seguente Dockerfile che installa anche tutti i packages delle dipendenze

FROM rstudio/r-base:3.6-bookworm

RUN apt-get -y update

RUN apt-get -y install gdal-bin libgdal-dev libpng-dev libudunits2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libmagick++-dev

RUN curl -O "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/randomForest/randomForest_4.6-10.tar.gz"

#setup R configs

RUN echo "r <- getOption('repos'); r['CRAN'] <- 'http://cran.us.r-project.org'; options(repos = r);" > ~/.Rprofile

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('zoo')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('leaflet')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('sf')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('leafpop')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('forecast')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('stringr')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('lubridate')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('randomForest_4.6-10.tar.gz', repos = NULL, type='source')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('rpart')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('e1071')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('kknn')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('jpeg')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('data.table')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('tidyr')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('magick')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('leaflet.extras')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('leafem')"

RUN Rscript -e "install.packages('raster')"

docker build -t nome_docker .

Per usare il container

docker run --rm -it -v /home/luca:/mnt nome_docker bash

(se si omette bash entra direttamente nel prompt di R)
