Best way to maintain old R script - renv? docker?
As promised, I tried to make the documentation a bit more accessible, given that I don't have a doc builder. It's now all in markdown.

running R in production?
If you need to manage complex, different environments, I wrote roo. It's not perfect and definitely not finished, but I've been using successfully for three years, and it's way more reliable than renv and install.packages. It supports multiple, separated environments, fully isolated, for different versions of R. It also does the transitive dependency check (no SAT solver yet, sorry) and creates lock in roo, packrat and renv format.

Best laptop to use for R stats
I got a Chrome book for £200 and use either Codespaces or Gitpod. Then there's money spare for a nice monitor. Take a look at https://github.com/revodavid/devcontainers-rstudio to see how it's done.

More info on how to set that up here, with an example of .devcontainer + Dockerfile that sets up a basic Data Science environment (with R and a few packages).
