This repository explains how to run RStudio in ShinyProxy.
RStudio 4.3.1 and later requires at least ShinyProxy 2.5.0.
## Building the Docker image
To pull the image made in this repository from Docker Hub, use
```bash
sudo docker pull openanalytics/shinyproxy-rstudio-ide-demo:2025.05.1_513__4.5.1
```
The relevant Docker Hub repository can be found at [https://hub.docker.com/r/openanalytics/shinyproxy-rstudio-ide-demo](https://hub.docker.com/r/openanalytics/shinyproxy-rstudio-ide-demo)
To build the image from the Dockerfile, navigate into the root directory of this repository and run
```bash
sudo docker build -t openanalytics/shinyproxy-rstudio-ide-demo:2025.05.1_513__4.5.1 .
```
## ShinyProxy Configuration
For deployment on ShinyProxy the environment variables `DISABLE_AUTH` must be set to `true` and `WWW_ROOT_PATH` to the path of the application, finally the port of the container must be configured to 8787, e.g.:
```yaml
proxy:
specs:
- id: rstudio
container-image: openanalytics/shinyproxy-rstudio-ide-demo:2025.05.1_513__4.5.1
container-env:
DISABLE_AUTH: true
WWW_ROOT_PATH: "#{proxy.getRuntimeValue('SHINYPROXY_PUBLIC_PATH')}"
port: 8787
```
Another useful option is to mount volume per user, e.g.:
```yaml
container-volumes: [ "/tmp/#{proxy.userId}:/home/rstudio" ]
```
Here `/home/rstudio` is used inside the container since "rstudio" is the default username in `rocker/rstudio` image.
If desired, this can be changed by setting `USER` environment variable in the application specs as follows:
```yaml
proxy:
specs:
- id: rstudio
container-image: openanalytics/shinyproxy-rstudio-ide-demo:2025.05.1_513__4.5.1
container-env:
DISABLE_AUTH: true
USER: "#{proxy.userId}"
WWW_ROOT_PATH: "#{proxy.getRuntimeValue('SHINYPROXY_PUBLIC_PATH')}"
port: 8787
container-volumes: [ "/tmp/#{proxy.userId}:/home/#{proxy.userId}" ]
```
## Optional features
Check the `Dockerfile` for instructions on how to change the default behavior of
the Docker image to:
- use all environment variables in RStudio
- read `/etc/profile` when starting a R session
