Batch Connect - RStudio Server

A Batch Connect app that launches RStudio Server via a container inside of a Slurm job.

Creating containers

Versioned RStudio containers from the Rocker project seem to work out-of-the-box: https://rocker-project.org/images/versioned/rstudio.html

apptainer pull rocker-rstudio-R_4.6.0-RStudio_TBD-20260512-00.sif docker://rocker/rstudio:4.6.0

apptainer shell the container and find out what version of RStudio it includes. Then update the name to include that, i.e.rocker-rstudio-R_4.6.0-RStudio_2026.04.0-526-20260512-00.sif, i.e., <project>-<image name>-<image version>-R_<version>-RStudio_<version-build>-YYYYMMDD-##.sif where YYYYMMDD and ## is some optional increment on the image.
