Posit Workbench Session Init Container

This directory contains a Dockerfile and script that will create an init container to copy session runtime components from a release package into a target mount directory. This init container can be used to pull the session runtime components into another base sesssion image, which can then be used to run Workbench sessions.

Testing

You can observe what gets copied by the container:

mkdir init
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/init:/mnt/init rstudio/workbench-session-init:jammy-2024.11.0
# The init directory has been populated with the Workbench session runtime components.

You can also test using GOSS:

just test workbench-session-init
