plumber test repo

based on https://www.rplumber.io/articles/hosting.html

install docker image

After you have sucessfully installed docker on your machine, get the plumber Docker Image from Rstudio: docker pull rstudio/plumber

Start Docker in current working dir to deploy API in hello.R:

navigate to the repo directory and run the docker that you have just downloaded. Specify the port -p 8000:8000 and the path as well as the script that contains the API route (hello.R)

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 -v pwd/hello.R:/plumber.R rstudio/plumber /plumber.R`

stop a running conainer

docker stop <docker name>

check if docker is running and check for its name

docker ps

Explore your docker container

For example, if you want to start a container based on this image and poke around in a bash shell: docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash rstudio/plumber

---

If you want to build your own Docker (e.g. install missing packages that are not part of the initial docker):

Build custom docker image

docker build --tag custom_plumber .

Run custom docker Image

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 -v pwd/hello.R:/plumber.R custom_plumber /plumber.R
