   Is there a reason why you are installing a super ancient version of arrow? 
(0.17.0 >2 years old, we are at 10.0.0 now).
   
   I had a look at the container, it has an mran snapshot of cran hard coded:
   ```
   > install.packages("arrow")
   Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
   (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
   trying URL 
'https://mran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2020-04-24/src/contrib/arrow_0.17.0.tar.gz'
   ```
   
   This is what prevents you from installing a recent version of arrow. If 
there is no specific reason for this I would recommend changing this to a 
recent snapshot or RSPM or vanillar CRAN. It is possible to force installation 
of arrow from CRAN with
   `Sys.setenv(LIBARROW_BINARY = TRUE); install.packages("arrow", 
repos=c(CRAN="https://cran.rstudio.com";))` but you will also need to install 
arrow's dependencies with this method to make sure they are of a recent, 
compatible version.
   
   > I have read on previous issues that you can integrate Docker images into 
CI setup. 
   
   That is possible but the arrow project is not really the right avenue for 
this general question.  It might also not be necessary unless you have 
specialized use case (e.g. specific hard to install system dependencies). I 
recommend checking out the suite of R GitHub actions in 
https://github.com/r-lib/actions
