Rarchlinux

Archlinux Docker Image built from official repositories snapshots with working R language

Overview

Archlinux installation built with mkimage-arch.sh. Timezone is set to utc and utf-8 locale is used. This repository provides archlinux, archlinux:YYYY-MM-DD-devel and archlinux:YYYY-MM-DD-devel-minimal images. The tags listed below may be used for specific builds.

Snapshot repository

To keep docker containers consistent it uses official repositories snapshots stored at the Arch Linux Archive. This allows installing new packages at a precise moment.

Usage

Synchronizing the pacman repository's by running pacman -Sy or upgrading with pacman -Syu is unnecessary and will have no impact. For production containers a specific build tag should be used. Testing should be done before updating the build tag in production containers to ensure the newer packages work with your codebase.

docker run --rm -ti rafaelsoares/archlinux{:YYYY-MM-DD} /bin/bash

docker run --rm -ti rafaelsoares/archlinux:YYYY-MM-DD-devel /bin/bash

docker run --rm -ti rafaelsoares/archlinux:YYYY-MM-DD-devel-minimal /bin/bash

Sample project that uses this image to build an AUR package (Travis-CI):
