RStudio

Our implementation of RStudio Server on the same cloud platform is non-invasive to the code base, but more complicated architecturally.

The container is made up of three components, a proxy, RStudio server, and a custom app. A dockerfile is available here

The proxy

• Separates traffic destined for the custom app and RStudio server
• Rewrites the url on traffic destined for RStudio server stripping off the base_url
• Uses a certificate to so all extra-container communications is over HTTPS

Custom App

• Source code is available here
• Fields /ping request for the internal health check
• Captures the auth-sign-in URL and authenticates and verifies user identity
• Sets authentication cookie for RStudio server

Rstudio Server

• No customization is required.
