Demo

Quick demo:

docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 jonrad/theia-datascience
# Then go to http://localhost:3000

To use your own files, mount the directory you want to work with:

docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 -v <YOUR_DIRECTORY>:/home/project jonrad/theia-datascience
# Then go to http://localhost:3000

Development Prerequisites

Install nvm.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.5/install.sh | bash

Install npm and node.

Iterating with RStudio Server on Mac

It's not worth the effort getting rstudio server to work on mac. So I found it best to just iterate within the docker container. Follow the following steps

Prerequisite: Install https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

Build the docker image from above (Alternatively, if you haven't changed the packages, you can just use the already published docker image)

In this directory start up the container

docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 $(fd -d 1 | sed "s#^\(.*\)#-v $PWD/\1:/home/theia/\1#" | tr '\n' ' ') --entrypoint bash jonrad/theia-datascience
yarn start:browser

Now you can still develop locally and even run yarn watch but you'll have to start the main app in the docker container
