The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Best Practices for R with Docker
There are at least two databases listing package requirements: one maintained by RStudio (this supports RSPM), another one by R-hub. Both of these list system packages for various Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows. But even with these databases, the build- vs. run-time dependencies can be sometimes hard to distinguish. Build-time system libraries are always named with a -dev or -devel postfix. Read the vignette of the maketools R package by Jeroen Ooms for a nice explanation and a suggested workflow for determining run-time dependencies of packages.

Best Practices for R with Docker
The base image is so bare-bones that it needs to install time zones, fonts and the Cairo device for ggplot2 to work (read the limitations here). Instead of apt you have apk and might have to work a bit harder to find all the Alpine-specific dependencies.
