[OOD-users] R Server

[Nicklas, Jeremy]

Hi Shawn,

If you copied the source from OSC's "bc_osc_rstudio_server" Interactive App:

https://github.com/OSC/bc_osc_rstudio_server/

then it sounds like your "submit.yml.erb" might have PBS/Torque specific references in it (this is what OSC uses). You should probably copy your "submit.yml.erb" that you used in your Jupyter app.

A couple centers have got RStudio Server working, although caution should be taken if you use OSC's "bc_osc_rstudio_server" Interactive App as it takes advantage of some features in the latest Dashboard app that aren't present in the OnDemand 1.2 release.

That leaves you with three options:

1. Manually update the Dashboard code from the GitHub repo, or wait until OnDemand 1.3 release in March
2. Volunteer to install the beta RPM we are currently developing
3. Modify the "bc_osc_rstudio_server" app so it works with the current Dashboard
  - I believe this means replacing "$(find_port ${host})" with just "$(find_port)" in the template files
  - Also, removing the "template/after.sh.erb" since it calls "wait_until_port_used" which doesn't exist yet

Also, you will need to install the dependencies on the compute nodes (see README.md). I believe both HPC centers went the route of using a Singularity image.

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get R Server working? I know it is not officially supported until the next release...  We have jupyter and jupyterlab working with pilot users (way cool!) and they are now clamoring to test R Server... and Matlab.

So far I get "no implicit conversion of Hash into Array" when submitting the job.
