In this post I will show how I run an R script on a schedule, by making use of ‘serverless’ computing service on the Microsoft Cloud called Azure Functions. In short I will use a custom docker container, install required software, install required r-packages using {renv} and deploy it in the Azure cloud. I program the process in azure such that the it runs once a day without any supervision. [Read More]

There are lots of rstats tutorials about creating beautiful plots, setting up shiny applications and even a few on setting up plumber APIs (but we could use more). However a lot of work consists of running a script without any interaction. This is an overview page for the tutorials I’ve created so far.

In this tutorial I have an R script that runs every day on github actions. It creates a curve in ggplot2 and posts that picture to twitter. The use case is this: You have a script and it needs to run on a schedule (for instance every day). Other ways to schedule a script I will create a new post for many of the other ways on which you can run an R script on schedule. [Read More]

In this tutorial I have an R script that creates a plot and tweets it, it runs every day on gitlab runners. The use case is this: You have a script and it needs to run on a schedule (for instance every day). Other ways to schedule a script I will create a new post for many of the other ways on which you can run an R script on schedule. [Read More]

In this tutorial I have an R script that runs every day on heroku. It creates a curve in ggplot2 and posts that picture to twitter. The use case is this: You have a script and it needs to run on a schedule (for instance every day). In 2018 I wrote a small post how to run an R script on heroku. The amazing thing is that the bot I created back then is still running! [Read More]
