Installation multiple of CRAN, Bioconductor and Github packages through Docker file in ubunto system

Question

Dears, I have a problem in installation multiple of packages with different sources using docker file. I have multiple of packages, I divide them according to their sources, then put them in R file to be easily installed. The problem now is:

• the image building time, it tooks a lot.

• In addition, I confused on which image I should use from dockerhub for R, should I use rocker/r-base or rocker/r-ver.

• When I use rocker/rbase:4.3.2 and want to run Rscript, I got always: “Rscript not found” like the following: Step 14/14 : RUN Rscript /install_packages_allprojects1.R —> Running in d0ba0f9029cc /bin/sh: 1: Rscript: not found

But it solved when I add: RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install r-base

So what the difference between this line and importing the image of rocker/r-base itself using FROM rocker/rbase:4.3.2

• Also despite using rbase:4.3.2, I got this error while install package actuar: ERROR: this R is version 3.6.3, package ‘actuar’ requires R >= 4.1.0

Please help me, here is my docker file:

 FROM rocker/r-base:4.3.2
 FROM rocker/tidyverse:4.3.2
 FROM bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_18-R-4.3.2
 FROM python:3.8.18
 FROM ubuntu:20.04
