This repository provides a build system for version-stable Rocker Docker images for R, including r-ver, rstudio, tidyverse, verse, shiny, shiny-verse, and geospatial. The core architecture uses R scripts to generate Dockerfiles from templates and docker-bake.json files from version matrices, enabling reproducible builds with fixed CRAN snapshots, RStudio Server versions, and CTAN dates. The CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions) automatically updates container definitions, builds multi-platform images (linux/amd64 and linux/arm64), and publishes them to Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry. The repository also contains a collection of standalone installation scripts (rocker_scripts) that can be reused in downstream Dockerfiles to install R, RStudio Server, Shiny Server, tidyverse packages, geospatial libraries, Python, Julia, Jupyter, and more. These scripts are parameterized, idempotent, and follow best practices for Docker image layering. The build system itself is a well-engineered example of code generation and matrix-based CI, though it is tightly coupled to the Rocker project's specific versioning scheme.
