Rstudio Server is installed on the GPU cluster and is available at hpc.radiology.hku.hk/rstudio. As the software doesn't offer an account creation page, prospective users need to request an account from Admin.
Features
- Rstudio has a built-in bash terminal
- Git is available
- Users can install R packages individually i.e. packages are not shared system-wide with other users.
- The Rstudio interface allows uploading and downloading files.
Rstudio runs in a new sandboxed environment, so don't be alarmed if you see an empty home folder
Administration details
- We are running a recent docker image from the Rocker project.
- It is run by 3 prolific data scientists. Hosts multiple images, including some with cuda libraries.
- The container is on cpu1, it is behind our reverse proxy.
- Rstudio Server has a login system based on Linux users with home folders
- Respinning the container wipes user accounts but preserves their home data in a named volume
rstudiovol.- So just recreate the user and they can access their packages like before.
