Sorry for lack of documentation about the directory structure. The variables are controlled by the following json file, so you cannot select a base image that is not listed here. You must first add them manually.
BTW, wondering which base image is desired.
In microsoft/vscode-dev-containers#1327, rocker/binder
was made selectable as a base image because of the desire to use Jupyter.
Do you plan on being able to automate the builds of these images like you've done on the rocker-versioned2 stack?
It is definitely possible, but for now I think a manual update may be sufficient since the file is simple and only holds tags for each minor version and updates occur only once a year.
Thanks! this all sounds good.
Happy to stick with manual builds.
binder
does seem like a sensible one to add (in our case it picks up the rest of the stack so provides a 'batteries included option', particularly having the geospatial libs installed by default is nice). Maybe we just want to add binder
and a note in the docs pointing out how this works (so others don't assume as I did that it will recognize an arbitrary r-ver stack image).
It looks like other flavors, e.g.
ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer/geospatial:4
don't yet exist. I gave a stab at trying to build these but am just hitting an unexpected error:Any ideas?
