Spotfire® Service for R Installation and Administration

Containerized configuration

The Spotfire Service for R provides custom properties that are specific to the Linux operating system.

Configuration property Default setting Description
use.engine.containers TRUE Runs the R engine inside a container when this value is set to TRUE (the default).
ram.limit 1000 The amount of RAM and SWAP memory to which the R engine containers are constrained, in megabytes.
docker.image.name debian:13-slim When you use containers, the Spotfire Service for R builds a custom image based on a starting image.

This property is used by the Dockerfile as the FROM line.

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#from for more information.

The Spotfire Service for R default is debian:13-slim.

engine.container.rversion 4.5.1 The R version to use with the containerized engine. This property lets you specify an R version that is different from the R version included in the image.
Note: If you already have a built image and if you are running the engine in container mode, then you must delete the current image and restart the service to make an update of this setting take effect.
