This repository provides Docker images for the mlr3 project. Available on Docker Hub, we offer two distinct configurations: a slim installation for a lightweight setup, and a full installation that includes all extensions and dependencies for comprehensive use. We also offer a container to build the mlr3 book.
Get the images from Docker Hub, e.g.:
docker pull mlrorg/mlr3-slim:latestThe images build on rocker/rstudio:latest, except for mlr3slim, which builds on rocker/r-ver:latest.
See rocker-versioned2 repo for details.

The images are based on rocker which uses Posit Package Manager (PPM) as the default R package repository instead of CRAN.
PPM provides pre-built Linux binaries which speeds up builds significantly.
However, PPM can lag behind CRAN after new package releases.
During this window, a newly released package may be missing from PPM entirely (the old version is removed before the new one is indexed).
To avoid build failures, the Dockerfiles add CRAN (https://cloud.r-project.org) as a fallback repository (CRAN2).
PPM remains the primary repository so that pre-built binaries are used when available.

docker build -t mlr3-book mlr3bookTag the image:
docker tag mlr3-book mlrorg/mlr3-book:latestUpload the image to Docker Hub:
docker push mlrorg/mlr3-book:latest
