Docker for my R setup

This is a Dockerfile for creating an RStudio server instance, including various packages that I find useful. It is based on the rocker/verse:latest image.

Intention is for this to be used to run RStudio server within an AWS EC2 instance, which is already running docker (need to check this also has git).

Want to be able to link files from the docker container to the EC2 instance, which in turn should be linked to

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/docker-basics.html

Need to mount EBS volumne (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-using-volumes.html)

#First time only need the following
sudo mkfs -t ext4 device_name
#Then:
sudo mount /dev/xvdb /data

sudo yum install -y docker
sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

Log out and log back in again to pick up the new docker group permissions.
