General Issue: Experimenting with Docker Image for Contributor

[donyunardi]

Background Information

Currently, when users want to contribute or create a post in the repository, they must install all R package dependencies that the repository requires before the contributor blog page can be rendered.

Related issue: https://github.com/pharmaverse/blog/issues/108

This could hinder the user's ability to move quickly and may potentially pollute their local environment. Users should be able to contribute to the repository without having to install all dependencies.

Proposal

My proposal is to create a Docker image with all the dependencies installed and push this to the registry. Users can pull and use the image for development before pushing commits to the repository.

To do

• [x] Create Docker image
  • use rocker/rstudio as a base for users
  • install quarto
  • install R package dependencies
• [x] push the image to registry: https://github.com/orgs/pharmaverse/packages/container/package/blog
• [x] Create PR to main
  • [x] Add Dockerfile to the repo
  • [x] write instructions on how to use the image in README

I pushed a registry to pharmaverse but don't have access to link it to the blog repo.

Can you do this?

I clicked some buttons! https://github.com/pharmaverse/blog/pkgs/container/blog

let me know if it worked.

It works!

Alright, two more things on my to-do list and then we can write a blog and have people try this to get feedback. 👍🏼
