issues with scrattch 1.1.2 through Docker

[renniek]

Hi there,

I am trying to use scrattch through Docker. I have tried to use this image on two different computers, and have gotten the same error when I run the image.

I don't fully understand the error, but it seems like something with setting up R is working:

In line with this, when I try running "rstudio-server start", nothing happens except for the following printout in the terminal:
TTY detected. Printing informational message about logging configuration. Logging configuration loaded from '/etc/rstudio/logging.conf'. Logging to 'syslog'. TTY detected. Printing informational message about logging configuration. Logging configuration loaded from '/etc/rstudio/logging.conf'. Logging to 'syslog'.

I also don't see rstudio-server in the bin folder, which I thought suggested that there is not a fully functional install.

I am using the latest version of Docker Desktop (4.40.0), and the latest version of scrattch(1.1.2).

Thank you in advance!

An update is that I didn't get an error when I ran this from the command line:

docker run -p 8787:8787 alleninst/scrattch:1.1.2 rstudio-server start

However, I can't figure out how to access the rstudio-server. Entering 127.0.0.1:8787 (in similar fashion to BMTK package) doesn't work.

Thank you in advance!

I also am able to run R scripts using Rscript and load all of the packages, but ideally I would be able to use some form of IDE through the Docker, if that is possible!
