First major release. The version is bumped to 1.0.0 to signal API
maturity after a stabilisation cycle that overhauled the
input-validation surface, hardened the codegen against
renv.lock / DESCRIPTION injection, removed the
vendored copy of {renv}, and flipped the high-level
generators’ defaults to multi-arch rocker/r-ver + binary
packages from Posit Public Package Manager. See below.
{renv} (~30,000 lines under
inst/vendor/) is removed. Lockfiles are now parsed with
jsonlite::read_json() (already in Imports). The exported
dockerfiler::renv symbol is removed: it was a public-API
surface only because the vendor pattern required it. The fallback
renv_version value, when both the user argument is missing
and the lockfile does not pin renv, is now NULL (install
the latest renv from the configured repos), aligned with the existing
renv_version = NULL behaviour. Closes #94.dock_from_renv() now defaults to running the runtime
container as the rstudio user (previously root). The
generated Dockerfile gains a defensive
RUN id -u rstudio || useradd -m -d /home/rstudio -s /bin/bash rstudio
early so the user is created if the FROM image does not already ship one
(no-op on rocker/* images, real useradd on
r-base, ubuntu:*, debian:*). The
renv cache is auto-derived to
/home/<user>/.cache/R/renv and chowned to
<user> before the USER directive drops
privilege; the USER directive itself is emitted right
before the renv::restore() cache-mount RUN, so every step
that needs root (apt-get, R installs) still runs as root. Pass
user = NULL to opt out and keep the previous root
behaviour. debian/ubuntu only; for alpine-based images you must pass
user = NULL and create the user yourself. Closes #100.dock_from_renv() default FROM flips from
"rocker/r-base" (amd64-only) to "rocker/r-ver"
(multi-arch: linux/amd64 + linux/arm64), and the R version from the
renv.lock file is now appended at codegen time
(e.g. rocker/r-ver:4.5.0). Apple Silicon and ARM Linux
hosts (Ampere, AWS Graviton) now build natively without Rosetta. Pass
the legacy FROM = "rocker/r-base" to opt out.
dock_from_desc()’s default FROM was already
rocker/r-ver:<R version> and is unchanged. Closes
#47.dock_from_renv() and dock_from_desc()
default repos flips from
"https://cran.rstudio.com/" (source-only CRAN mirror) to
"https://p3m.dev/cran/latest" (Posit Public Package
Manager), with automatic rewrite to the
__linux__/$VERSION_CODENAME/ shape at codegen time so the
build pulls pre-compiled Linux binaries instead of compiling from
source. Build time on packages with C/C++ deps drops from minutes to
seconds. The PPM rewrite logic now matches all three Posit-managed PPM
hosts: packagemanager.posit.co,
packagemanager.rstudio.com, and p3m.dev. Pass
the legacy repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com/") to
opt out. Closes #57.dock_from_desc() and dock_from_renv() now
validate every user-supplied parameter that flows into a Dockerfile
shell context (FROM, AS, repos
values and names, extra_sysreqs, renv_version,
renv_paths_cache, lockfile basename,
use_pak, strict_install, plus
r_version read from the lockfile). Inputs that contain
shell metacharacters, newlines, or do not match the documented format
raise an explicit error at function entry, rather than silently
producing a malformed Dockerfile or one that executes
attacker-controlled commands at docker build time. This
closes the post-#106 audit follow-up for all five sites surfaced by
Copilot review.dock_from_renv(): the renv package version
resolved from the lockfile (lock$Packages$renv$Version) was
interpolated raw into the generated
R -e 'remotes::install_version("renv", version = "<x>")'
line without passing through .validate_renv_version(). A
crafted renv.lock could break out of the inner R string and
execute arbitrary code as root at docker build time. The
user-supplied renv_version= argument has been validated
since the 1.0.0 shell-context hardening above, but the lockfile-fallback
path was missed; the bug itself predates 1.0.0 (it existed while the
vendored {renv} parser was in use). The validator is now
applied to the resolved value whatever its source. Found by an internal
security audit before release..validate_r_version()
“X.Y.Z Patched” branch to require a single literal space
(it previously used \s, which in R also matches a newline
or tab): a lockfile whose R$Version carried an embedded
newline would pass validation and then emit a two-line FROM
directive. Not exploitable for command injection, but it could silently
break docker build.dock_from_desc(): package names read from the
DESCRIPTION were interpolated into generated Dockerfile
directives without validation. read.dcf() and
desc::desc_get_deps() both join DCF continuation lines with
\n, so a crafted Package: field, or a crafted
Imports: / Depends: / Suggests: /
LinkingTo: entry, could carry a continuation line that
injects an extra Dockerfile directive (e.g. a RUN)
executing as root at docker build time – the
Package: field via the
COPY <pkg>_*.tar.gz /app.tar.gz line and the
tar.gz-cleanup glob on the build_from_source = FALSE path,
and the dependency names via the
remotes::install_version("<name>", ...) install RUNs
on the default build_from_source = TRUE path. Both the
package name and every dependency-field name are now validated against
the CRAN package-name grammar at function entry. The bug predates 1.0.0.
Found by the same internal security audit as the
dock_from_renv() fix above.dock$ARG() and the internal add_arg()
helper gain a default parameter to emit
ARG <name>=<default> instead of
ARG <name>. Closes #8.dock_from_desc() and dock_from_renv() gain
a github_pat parameter (default "none")
controlling how a GitHub PAT is provided to
remotes::install_github() /
remotes::install_local() / renv::restore() for
private dependency repositories. Set to "build_arg" to emit
ARG GITHUB_PAT + ENV propagation (passed via
--build-arg GITHUB_PAT=$GITHUB_PAT), or
"secret" to use BuildKit secret mounts (the PAT is never
persisted in image metadata; recommended for published images). Closes
#18.dock_from_renv() gains a renv_paths_cache
parameter that controls the RENV_PATHS_CACHE build-arg
default, the propagated ENV value, and the cache mount
target. When NULL (the default), the path is auto-derived
from user: /root/.cache/R/renv for
user = NULL, and
/home/<user>/.cache/R/renv otherwise. Users can
override the renv cache location at image build time with
--build-arg RENV_PATHS_CACHE=... without regenerating the
Dockerfile.dock_from_desc() gains a strict_install
parameter (default TRUE). When TRUE, every
install RUN in the generated Dockerfile is prefixed with
options(warn = 2); so any R warning during install (missing
CRAN package, partial download, archived package, 404 on a remote)
becomes a hard error and aborts the docker build. This is a behaviour
change for users regenerating their Dockerfile: install RUNs now refuse
to silently swallow warnings. Pass strict_install = FALSE
if your build environment routinely emits benign warnings (locale
defaulting, NTP time-verification, ABI-version notices) that you do not
want to fail the build. Closes #9.r() no longer silently rewrites user code. The previous
implementation called gsub(" [2,]", " ", code) (a typo for
{2,}) which deleted any digit 2 or comma
preceded by a space: r(c(1, 2, 3)) returned
R -e 'c(1, , 3)'. The replacement approach
(gsub("[ ]{2,}", " ", code)) still collapsed runs of spaces
inside string literals (r(cat("a b")) would emit
R -e 'cat("a b")'). The fix uses trimws() on
each deparse() line then
paste(collapse = " "): only the line-wrap indentation added
by deparse() is removed, internal whitespace is preserved.
Closes #95.r() now wraps the deparsed R expression with
shQuote(., type = "sh") instead of inlining it inside a
hand-rolled single-quoted shell string. Apostrophes inside string
literals no longer break the emitted command:
r(message("don't")) used to emit
R -e 'message("don't")', which the shell refuses to parse
(unterminated quoted string). The new wrapping is shell-safe by
construction.dock_from_desc(build_from_source = FALSE) no longer
carries a dead-code branch (if (missing(out))) on the
locally-assigned result of pkgbuild::build().
missing() only reports unsupplied function arguments, so
the branch was unreachable; the success path always ran when
build() returned. The branch is removed; failures of
pkgbuild::build() propagate normally via
stop(). Closes #98.dock_from_desc(): fixed two
length(x > 0) typos in the dependency handling (the
intent was length(x) > 0); the conditions now behave as
documented.<pkg>_*.tar.gz cleanup glob in
dock_from_desc(build_from_source = FALSE) is now built with
glob2rx(), so a dot in a package name (e.g.
R.utils) is matched literally and a sibling package’s
tarball is no longer swept up.@export in dockerignore.R; the codegen now
uses the new dock$ARG(name, default = ...) form instead of
inlining the =.dock_from_renv() now auto-configures the generated
Dockerfile to fetch Linux binaries from Posit Package Manager when
repos is a single CRAN-keyed PPM URL. Four things happen:
the PPM URL is rewritten to include
__linux__/$VERSION_CODENAME/ (resolved at image build time
from /etc/os-release) when it was cran or
cran/latest; HTTPUserAgent is set to the
strict format PPM requires; renv.config.repos.override is
set so that renv::restore() uses PPM instead of the
lockfile’s repo URL; and the RUN is prefixed with
. /etc/os-release && when the line uses
$VERSION_CODENAME. User-pinned codenames and snapshot-date
URLs (e.g. cran/2024-01-15) are preserved as-is. The user’s
PPM scheme and host (so a packagemanager.rstudio.com URL
stays on rstudio.com) are preserved on rewrite. Non-PPM repos (including
internal mirrors not on the official PPM hosts) and multi-entry
repos vectors are left untouched.dock_from_renv() no longer installs
remotes when renv_version = NULL, since
remotes was only needed for the
install_version() path.renv::restoredock_from_renv() test to catch all output
