New features:

  1. PostGIS:
    • For compatibility with our AWS deployment, I've dropped back from 10.3 to 9.6. The other components, PostGIS and pgRouting, are still the latest stable versions.
    • The PostGIS command line now includes R and Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS). And, of course, Emacs.
    • In addition to pg_dump "custom" format files (.backup), automatic restores now work for .sql and .sql.gz files (plain text and compressed plain text). In fact, this is now the preferred format for database dumps given that we've been unable to restore a .backup to the AWS server.
    • The Hack Oregon database users defined in our AWS server are now available in the postgis server.
    • Raw data can be loaded onto the postgis image at build time.
  2. Jupyter (formerly Miniconda and before that Jupyter)
    • This is the name that makes sense. Jupyter is the tool; Miniconda is how it gets there.
    • Cookiecutter is now installed by default.
    • Analysis packages now include:
      • geopandas,
      • jupyter,
      • matplotlib,
      • pandas,
      • psycopg2,
      • requests,
      • seaborn,
      • statsmodels,
      • cookiecutter, and
      • osmnx.
  3. Rstats (formerly RStudio)
    • Name change: we're planning to push these images to a Docker repository to cut down on how long it takes to bring up the containers. If this is a public repository, there's a potential issue with the RStudio trademark. To avoid that I've renamed the image.
    • I've added Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS). And, of course, Emacs.
  4. Amazon: I've put this image in the collection primarily for backup file restore testing. It looks mostly like the postgis image but not much of the infrastructure is duplicated. There's just enough to bring up a database with the Hack Oregon database users and verify that databases can be restored.
  5. Windows 10 Pro Windows Subsystem for Linux Docker interface: It works! It really does! There were a couple of bugs but I've fixed them and for all practical purposes it looks just like running Docker Community Edition from an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" terminal.
  6. Examples: I've added the raw-data-to-database-backup scripts for the Transportation Systems passenger census and ODOT crash data as examples. They run inside a postgis container.
