Update Dockerfile to Use Rocker R Image

Summary

This PR updates the Dockerfile to use the public rocker/r-ver image instead of the previously specified private image. This change simplifies the build process by using a widely-available base image specifically designed for R, which is maintained by the R community.

Changes Made

1. Base Image Update:

   • Changed the base image to rocker/r-ver:latest. This image is optimized for R and maintained by the Rocker Project, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.

2. System Dependencies:

   • Added installation commands for system dependencies pandoc and qpdf required by the package.
   • Included clean-up commands to reduce the final image size.

3. CRAN Packages Installation:

   • Added commands to install necessary CRAN packages (mockery, nlmixr2, knitr, rmarkdown) from the cloud repository.

4. Working Directory:

   • Set the working directory to /src/PKPDsim and copied the package content into this directory.

Benefits

• Simplified Build Process: Using a public and well-maintained base image reduces complexity.
• Compatibility: Ensures compatibility with R and related tools, as the Rocker images are specifically tailored for R.
• Community Support: Leveraging the Rocker Project's images means benefiting from community support and regular updates.

reserved earlier Dockerfile content as Dockerfile.aws which could be build and run as docker-compose build pkpdsim-aws

  docker-compose build
  docker-compose build pkpdsim
  docker-compose build pkpdsim-aws
  docker-compose run pkpdsim
  docker-compose run pkpdsim-aws
