To run RStudio Server in a job on HiPerGator and connect to the session from a web browser on your local computer do the following:

• Create a job script similar to the following job script, but with your own resource request. E.g. run.sh

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=rserver
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=4
#SBATCH --mem=8gb
#SBATCH --time=48:00:00
#SBATCH --output=rserver_%j.log
module purge; module load R
rserver

• Submit the job

sbatch run.sh

• Once the job starts see the connection information in the job log. E.g.

$ cat rserver_9999999.log

Starting rserver on port 37546 in the /blue/somegroup/someuser/rserver_test directory.
Create an SSH tunnel with:
ssh -N -L 8080:c12345a-s42.ufhpc:37546 albert.gator@hpg.rc.ufl.edu
Then, open in the local browser:
http://localhost:8080

• Use the above information to create an ssh tunnel from your local computer to the rserver instance.
• Open http://localhost:8080 in the web browser on your local computer.
