I used the -e ROOT=true option and still got the issue on the picture attached (i.e. running whoami still returns rstudio). Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

So you're not the root user. This depends also on how you launch docker.

$ docker run -ti --rm r-base whoami
root
$

In the container I am. In rstudio I am not but I want to access a bind mount that is on root dir (I tried putting it after /home/.cache but for some reason gets changed to /root/.cache)

We are in the wrong repo within rocker here. You are having rstudio usage questions (the RStudio product runs as user 'rstudio') so I suggest I transfer this to repo rocker-versioned2.

One short way out is to look into docker exec to get yourself a second shell inside the running container.

Edit Oh, sorry, your screen shot already shows docker exec so you know that already.

Closing this as refiled in versioned2.
