containr: Containerize Your 'R' Project

Provides tools for containerizing 'R' projects. Reads an 'renv' lock file, generates a ready-to-use 'Dockerfile', builds the container image, and pushes it to a registry. Generated 'COPY' instructions preserve the local directory structure inside the container. Cross-platform builds are supported via 'Docker' buildx for targeting 'linux/amd64' from ARM hosts. Designed to help researchers build portable, reproducible workflows that can be reliably shared, archived, and rerun across systems. See R Core Team (2025) <https://www.R-project.org/>, Ushey et al. (2025) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=renv>, and Docker Inc. (2025) <https://www.docker.com/>.

From renv to containers: why recording your R packages may not be enough
You already care about reproducibility | What renv does — and does not do | What a container adds | The Dockerfile as a reproducibility artifact | Where containr fits | What comes next
