# r-builds
The environment which produces R builds obtainable from: https://cdn.rstudio.com/r/versions.json
## Adding a new platform.
### Dockerfile
Create a `builder/Dockerfile.platform-version` (where `platform-version` is `ubuntu-1604` or `centos-74`, etc.) This file must contain four major tasks:
1. an `OS_IDENTIFIER` env with the `platform-version`.
2. a step which ensures the R source build dependencies are installed
3. The `awscli`, most likely installed via `pip` for uploading tarballs to S3
4. `COPY` and `ENTRYPOINT` for the `build.sh` file in `builder/`.
### docker-compose.yml
A new service in the docker-compose file named according to the `platform-version` and containing the proper entries:
```
command: ./build.sh
environment:
- R_VERSION=${R_VERSION} # for testing out R builds locally
- LOCAL_STORE=/tmp/output # ensures that output tarballs are persisted locally
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.debian-9
image: r-builds:debian-9
volumes:
- ./integration/tmp:/tmp/output # path to output tarballs
```
### Job definition
IN `serverless-resources.yml` you'll need to add a job definition that points to the ECR image.
```
rBuildsBatchJobDefinitionDebian9:
Type: AWS::Batch::JobDefinition
Properties:
Type: container
ContainerProperties:
Command:
- ./build.sh
Vcpus: 4
Memory: 4096
JobRoleArn:
"Fn::GetAtt": [ rBuildsEcsTaskIamRole, Arn ]
Image: #{AWS::AccountId}.dkr.ecr.#{AWS::Region}.amazonaws.com/r-builds:debian-9
```
### Environment variables in the serverless.yml functions.
The serverless functions which trigger R builds need to be informed of new platforms.
1. Add a `JOB_DEFINITION_ARN_PlatformVersion` env variable with a ref to the Job definition above.
2. Append the `platform-version` to `SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS`.
```
environment:
# snip
JOB_DEFINITION_ARN_debian_9:
Ref: rBuildsBatchJobDefinitionDebian9
SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS: ubuntu-1604,ubuntu-1804,debian-9
```
### Makefile
In order for the makefile to push these new platforms to ECR, add them to the PLATFORMS variable near the top of the Makefile
### Submit a Pull Request
Once you've followed the steps above, submit a pull request. On successful merge, builds for this platform will begin to be available from the CDN.
## "Break Glass"
Periodically, someone with access to these resources may need to re-trigger every R version/platform combination. This quite easy with the `serverless` tool installed.
```
serverless invoke stepf -n rBuilds -d '{"force": true}'
```
