RStudio Server

RStudio server - perelandra

Dedicated RStudio server. To be used by any PSTAT department student or professor that has been assigned a department account. You can connect to it from anywhere via your web browser using your department credentials and this URL: https://perelandra.pstat.ucsb.edu/rstudio. Anyone accessing from outside the department I refer you to the tech note #2 below.

Tech notes:
 
Handling RStudio Stuck Processes:
  1. If your R won't start in your RStudio session you need to email helpdesk@pstat.ucsb.edu letting us know so that we can verify your session is locked with the command: rstudio-server active-sessions and kill the appropriate PID.
  2. If you'd like to fix this yourself, you can do that by logging into the RStudio server via terminal using the command: ssh {your_username}@perelandra.pstat.ucsb.edu. After successfully logging in issue the command:

    rstudio-server active-sessions

    That command will list all RStudio sessions, make sure yours are in that list then issue this command to kill all of them: pkill -u {your_username}

Accessing RStudio While Not in Our Departmentm

  1. To access https://perelandra.pstat.ucsb.edu/rstudio from outside our physical department you will need to utilize the campus VPN. Information on how to access the campus VPN can be found here.
