rocker/verse for Debian?

It seems that the rocker/verse images are based on Ubuntu.
Is there a way to install on Debian?

Yes, indeed, rocker/verse is based on Ubuntu:

$ podman run --rm -ti rocker/verse cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

r-base is based on Debian, but you'll need to install additional packages to make it work the same way as rocker/verse.

$ podman run --rm -ti r-base cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Just wondering, why do you need Debian? What prevents you from using Ubuntu as the base OS?

Oh I see!

Debian is just the setup I have, that's all.

How do I see or where can I find this list of packages to go for the equivalent from r-base -> rocker/verse?

My advice is to start with just r-base and then add additional packages if necessary.
