sol-eng-demo-server

This repository contains Workbench session images deployed to the Solutions Engineering Demo server (lovingly known as "Colorado").

Description

Posit uses these images for our Posit Workbench demo environment ("Colorado"). This image builds off of the r-session-complete image. It serves as a great example to get started with building your own Posit Workbench session images.

The sol-eng-demo-server images are built from r-session-complete. Specifically, the image is based on rstudio/r-session-complete:jammy-2023.03.1. The r-session-complete includes most of the components we need for our Workbench sessions, including:

• Workbench session components
• System dependencies required to build and install most R packages
• The Posit Professional Database Drivers
• R version 4.1.3
• R version 4.2.3
• Python version 3.8.15
• Python version 3.9.14

The base r-session-complete is extended by adding additional R and Python versions and system dependencies requested by Colorado users. See the Dockerfile for more details.

These images are stored in AWS ECR; they are not accessible on DockerHub.

Dev Workflow

Build Pipeline

• A push to any branch will trigger a build in Jenkins.
• Only pushes to the main will trigger pushing a new image to the ECR repository.

Local development

Before triggering a new Jenkins build, verify that you can build and test the images locally. This repository uses justfile to run common commands.

Build the image locally:
