An Introduction to Rocker: Docker Containers for R
Carl Boettiger and Dirk Eddelbuettel , The R Journal (2017) 9:2, pages 527-536.

Abstract We describe the Rocker project, which provides a widely-used suite of Docker images with customized R environments for particular tasks. We discuss how this suite is organized, and how these tools can increase portability, scaling, reproducibility, and convenience of R users and developers.
