+# Jupyter Notebook R Stack
+
+## What it Gives You
+
+* Jupyter Notebook server v3.2.x
+* Conda R v3.1.x and channel
+* plyr, devtools, dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, shiny, rmarkdown, forecast, stringr, rsqlite, reshape2, nycflights13, caret, rcurl, and randomforest pre-installed
+* Options for HTTPS, password auth, and passwordless `sudo`
+
+## Basic Use
+
+The following command starts a container with the Notebook server listening for HTTP connections on port 8888 without authentication configured.
+
+```
+docker run -d -p 8888:8888 jupyter/r-notebook
+```
+
+## Options
+
+You may customize the execution of the Docker container and the Notebook server it contains with the following optional arguments.
+
+* `-e PASSWORD="YOURPASS"` - Configures Jupyter Notebook to require the given password. Should be conbined with `USE_HTTPS` on untrusted networks.
+* `-e USE_HTTPS=yes` - Configures Jupyter Notebook to accept encrypted HTTPS connections. If a `pem` file containing a SSL certificate and key is not found in `/home/jovyan/.ipython/profile_default/security/notebook.pem`, the container will generate a self-signed certificate for you.
+* `-e GRANT_SUDO=yes` - Gives the `jovyan` user passwordless `sudo` capability. Useful for installing OS packages. **You should only enable `sudo` if you trust the user or if the container is running on an isolated host.**
+* `-v /some/host/folder/for/work:/home/jovyan/work` - Host mounts the default working directory on the host to preserve work even when the container is destroyed and recreated (e.g., during an upgrade).
+* `-v /some/host/folder/for/server.pem:/home/jovyan/.ipython/profile_default/security/notebook.pem` - Mounts a SSL certificate plus key for `USE_HTTPS`. Useful if you have a real certificate for the domain under which you are running the Notebook server.
