Try Out Development Containers: R

This repository contains some example Dev Container definitions for R and can be run on GitHub Codespaces (click on the badges!).

Dev Container Definitions

Combination of r-rig and rstudio-server

It is configured to install ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/r-rig and ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/rstudio-server on top of mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu. Initially, the latest release version of R is installed, but rig makes it easy to install a different version of R and switch between these.

RStudio Server is configured to run immediately after container startup.
