✨ Build RStudio image #5861

Open Gary-H9 opened 1 week ago

Gary-H9 commented 1 week ago

User Story

As an Analytical Platform engineer I want to release one single image of RStudio that covers functionality 🤷 <to be defined> So that users have one RStudio release to use and we have one RStudio release to support

Value / Purpose

We want to offer a minimal JupyterLab image, based on the Analytical Platform Cloud Development Environment Base Image, for users of the Analytical Platform.

Proposal

Build a RStudio offering from scratch like we do for Visual Studio Code, allowing us to understand and control the entire offering.

Subject to user research this image may need other functionality.

Additional Information

I think this task can be broken down into two parts: a) Install R - as per here. - already done in the APCBDE image here. ✅ b) Install RStudio - as per here. Information from the old repository should also be considered as part of this work as (presumably) challenges which were met there were overcome, we should try and avoid duplicating previous efforts.

RStudio doesn't seem to do releases as we'd expect and rather releases tarballs based on tags (I think?).
