Open-source software

As advocates of OSS, we sponsor the QGIS project, the Julia language, the R Foundation and the FreeBSD Foundation.


We devote about 20% of our time to OSS and maintain

dev containers,
docker images and
deployment templates

for Data Scientists, ML/AI Engineers, and the like 🧑‍💻.

We provide Data Science dev containers for use with VS Code (local) and GitHub Codespaces (web).
🎯 A unified IDE for the Data Science programming languages R, Python, Julia and Mojo, too.
🔥 Most images are also available in a GPU accelerated (nvidia/cuda-based) version.

You can find all this for free on GitHub and GitLab!

Check out our Jupyter demo environment at https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch or run it locally with Docker Desktop.

docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -v "${PWD}":/home/jovyan glcr.b-data.ch/jupyterlab/r/verse

Run the initial command in an empty directory so that the container populates it.
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab?token=<token> in a browser to load JupyterLab.
