containr: Containerize Your 'R' Project

Provides tools for containerizing 'R' projects. The core function, 'generate_dockerfile()', analyzes an 'R' project's environment and dependencies via an 'renv' lock file and generates a ready-to-use 'Dockerfile' that encapsulates the computational setup. 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/>.
