Creating a new image and container from the BCB420 Dockerfile

• Connected the Windows Powershell in my computer as the terminal in Docker
• Using Powershell, I created a directory to store all my code: C:\Users\chloe\Desktop\bcb420_code
• Navigated to that directory and entered the following command:

docker run -e PASSWORD=changeit --rm \ 
  -v ${PWD}:/home/rstudio/projects -p 8787:8787 \

• Signed in to RStudio with:
  • username: rstudio

  • Can change password by specifying the parameter of -e PASSWORD=changeit in the above docker command
