R packages not persistent across restarts #1

Closed minorsecond closed 5 years ago

minorsecond commented 5 years ago

Packages installed in R via install.packages are not persistent across restarts. Additionally, programs installed via apt to support R packages (ie libgdal-dev) suffer the same fate.

Is there a way to persist installed packages & applications?

fresh2dev commented 5 years ago

R packages should persist across restarts, but that is failing due to a permissions issue. I implemented the fix and will push soon.

Installed applications/libraries/drivers will not persist across restarts; the RStudio/Shiny Docker image needs to be built with the necessary drivers and libraries. To do this, modify the file "rshiny_rstudio/Dockerfile". Add a RUN command anywhere between the first and last line to apt-get any apps/drivers/libs you want built into the image. After you edit the Dockerfile, rebuild the site with setup.sh.

This is fixed (for me) after the latest commits. Please clone a fresh copy, setup again, and let me know if the issue persists. Note that a few other changes were included. Namely, to setup the site, use control.sh setup instead of setup.sh.
