How to use R studio on a remote server

Tags:

r

server

rstudio

Currently, i use R studio on my desktop, with all analysis run using my desktop machine Performance for this is really poor, so i'm getting an external server that is more powerful dedicated for R jobs

I really like the Rstudio IDE, Is there a way I can connect Rstudio on my desktop to run R on the external server? I want to be able to use it in the same way as I use my desktop version of R, so i can view my graphs etc

How do I find my RStudio server URL?

Your RStudio Connect server URL is the same URL you use to access the RStudio Connect dashboard, minus the connect path. If you access the dashboard at https://rsc.company.com/connect/ , the server URL is https://rsc.company.com/ .

RStudio Server is what you need. You can download it here:

https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download-server-2/

Install it on your external server; then from your desktop (or from any other machine!) you can connect to the server in a web browser and use RStudio inside the web browser. RStudio Server shares a great deal of code with the desktop version so the interface will be nearly identical to what you're accustomed to.
