Note that variable expansion in --from and FROM was working oddly, see: https://github.com/docker/cli/issues/3356#issuecomment-957892224 for context.
Clear Linux* OS r-base container image
What is this image?
clearlinux/r-base is a Docker image with r-base running on top of the
official clearlinux base image.
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

Why use a clearlinux based image?
Clear Linux* OS is an open source, rolling release Linux distribution optimized for performance and security, from the Cloud to the Edge, designed for customization, and manageability.
Clear Linux* OS based container images use:
- Optimized libraries that are compiled with latest compiler versions and flags.
- Software packages that follow upstream source closely and update frequently.
- An aggressive security model and best practices for CVE patching.
- A multi-staged build approach to keep a reduced container image size.
- The same container syntax as the official images to make getting started easy.

Start a container and run a R script:
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app clearlinux/r-base Rscript /app/sample.R
Deploy with Kubernetes
Build and modify:
The Dockerfiles for all Clear Linux* OS based container images are available at https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles. These can be used to build and modify the container images.
-
Clone the clearlinux/dockerfiles repository.
git clone https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles.git -
Change to the directory of the application:
cd r-base/ -
Build the container image:
docker build -t clearlinux/r-base . -
Please refer to create custom application container image on how to customize your container image with specific debug capabilities, such as: make, git.
Refer to the Docker documentation for default build arguments. Additionally:
swupd_args- specifies arguments to pass to the Clear Linux* OS software manager. See the swupd man pages for more information.
