RStudio Server

A Server is set up on lxhalle.in.tum.de and ssh.ma.tum.de RStudio.
You can access it via browser. Go to

http://lxhalle.in.tum.de:8787

and navigate out of Rechnerhalle.

http://rbgse1.ma.tum.de:8787

navigate out of the mathematics network.

SSH-Tunnel

To access the RStudio Server from outside the Rechnerhalle network, an SSH Tunnel is necessary for security reasons.

Type the following in the Unix/Linux/macOS Terminal:

ssh -L8787:localhost:8787 <login>@<RStudio-Server>

Depending on ssh configurations a password may be necessary.

With Windows:

start Putty>>

Session>Hostname='RStudio-Server'
Connection>SSH>Tunnels>Source Port='8787'; Destination='localhost:8787'
>>Add
>>Open

Then navigate to

http://localhost:8787

with your brwoser.

According to RStudio Getting Started the user password is encrypted via network path RSA. Using the ssh tunnel another encryption is possibly added.
