nbrsessionproxy

nbrsessionproxy provides Jupyter server and notebook extensions to proxy an RStudio rsession.

If you have a JupyterHub deployment, nbrsessionproxy can take advantage of JupyterHub's existing authenticator and spawner to launch RStudio in users' Jupyter environments. You can also run this from within Jupyter. Requires nbserverproxy.

Note that RStudio Server Pro has more featureful authentication and spawning than the standard version, in the event that you do not want to use Jupyter's.

Installation

Pre-reqs

Install rstudio

Use conda conda install rstudio or download the corresponding package for your platform

jupyter nbextension     enable  --py nbrsessionproxy

Or install the extensions for all users on the system:
