While an R kernel available in Jupyter is cool, R isn't really that great to use in a notebook workflow. It would be great to have RStudio Server running on a notebook machine to have an internal version of https://rstudio.cloud

Pretty well supported with github.com/jupyterhub/jupyter-rsession-proxy/, although you need to be running inside a container (or something with network namespace isolation) for it to work.

This is awesome, thank you @yuvipanda! Couple of issues encountered so far.
There's an issue with the latest stable release of RStudio and R 4.1 (https://twitter.com/kevin_ushey/status/1395054942088400905)
PSA: If you're an RStudio user planning to upgrade to R 4.1.0, you may want to install the preview release of RStudio (https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/) -- otherwise, you may see RStudio crash when you try to use ggplot2.
Indeed, when you open RStudio it shows the warning message: "R graphics engine version 14 is not supported by this version of RStudio. The Plots tab will be disabled until a newer version of RStudio is installed."
So just a heads-up :)
Separately – and please let me know if I should spin this off into its own Phab task – I'm trying to connect to the wiki replicas but I got the following error (both in RStudio and in a Jupyter Notebook with R kernel):
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to create bus connection: Host is down
Warning message:
In system("timedatectl", intern = TRUE) :
running command 'timedatectl' had status 1The R code (using DBI and RMariaDB driver) was:
library(DBI) # install.packages(c("RMariaDB", "DBI")) library(glue) # see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Wiki_Replicas_2020_Redesign # https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database # wiki <- "enwiki" # English Wikipedia con <- dbConnect( RMariaDB::MariaDB(), group = "client", # defined in ~/.my.cnf host = glue("{wiki}.analytics.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud"), dbname = glue("{wiki}_p") ) dbListTables(con)
Maybe it's just me, though?
