rmarkdown-tinytex

A minimal docker image for knitting R Markdown documents. I use this image as the base for the Dockerfiles in my reproducible research projects.

Includes:

• base R (uses rocker/r-ver)
• pandoc
• rmarkdown and dependencies
• tinytex

Build image

# latest R version
docker build . -t rmarkdown-tinytex --build-arg R=latest

# specific R version
docker build . -t rmarkdown-tinytex --build-arg R=4.0.2

Run container and knit test document automatically

cd # to wherever this folder is
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/home -w /home csdaw/rmarkdown-tinytex \
  Rscript -e 'rmarkdown::render("test.Rmd")'

Run container and knit test document interactively

cd # to wherever this folder is
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home -w /home csdaw/rmarkdown-tinytex R

rmarkdown::render("test.Rmd")
