What would be the right version of OS and R for Rcloud Installation

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

Thanks in advance.

Hi @sunny143code, sorry I missed this issue earlier.

To be sure it’s not easy to install RCloud. It is easiest on a Linux box following INSTALL.md - we’ve got scripts that follow this process automatically.

It’s also possible on macOS but you have to futz with OpenSSL and other dependencies.

Windows is not supported for the server. Of course the client can run on any OS you want as it’s just a web app.

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

As for R versions, anything except for 3.4 should work.

Unfortunately the “could not connect to server” error you originally quoted can have a lot of different causes. If you are still at that step, I can show you how to turn on logging which helps sometimes.

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the reply. I am still seeing the "could not connect to server" issue, here I am pasting my config file info. Please let me know what I am missing.

etc/hosts:

13.82.230.185

#The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

/data/rcloud/conf/rcloud.conf:

I get below messages when I run the fresh_start.sh:

Thanks for the screenshot. Please use the master branch, or do npm install at the root level in order to install the required JS dependencies.

Of course if you just want to try out RCloud, it is going to be a lot easier to go to http://rcloud.social and use the public instance, or use the Docker image.

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

I have tried it with master branch this time and ended up with below error when I add Host:3.80.187.200, modified /etc/hosts to 3.80.187.200

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

Getting closer! Looks like rcloud.jupyter failed to load - probably failed to build.

We have an open issue #2689 to improve the error message when this happens.

Please remove this item from the list of languages in rcloud.conf. If you gets RCloud to start, you can always fix the build and restore this later.

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

Now, Rcloud is running without any issues but the buttons for running R scripts have disappeared, but most of the other functionality appears to be there. Thank you Sir for the support.

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

Thanks for following up, @sunny143code!

I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean the buttons in the navbar? Could you post a screenshot?

The buttons are probably still clickable if you know where they are. :)

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

Glad I could help you get started with RCloud! Please reach out if you have other questions.

I will guess that the buttons issue is #2386. I think there may be issues where other fontawesome buttons disappear. Maybe upgrading fontawesome #2673 and/or using SVG instead of fonts would help.

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the info.

I was trying to create a Docker image which uses Github gist storage with master branch rcloud code but facing issues with redis connection so just wanted to check if you have any Dockerfile.

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

You could try this one

https://github.com/s-u/docker-rcloud-aas

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

I have tried that but it runs using rcloud user but I want to have Github login user.

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

I see - yes, that image is intended for running services and does not have Github login.

It would be nice to provide Docker images for other purposes but I am not sure when we will get to it.

Redis is not usually hard to set up - anything we can help you with?

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

Thanks for asking and all your help. I did set up and was able to create a docker image for our needs.

gordonwoodhull commented 4 years ago

Awesome! Thanks for following up.

Feel free to ask any questions here, or on SO with the [rcloud] tag.

sunny143code commented 4 years ago

hey, Cloud you please guide me or send me the link for how to integrate Rcloud app with Active Directory authentication?

gordonwoodhull commented 12 months ago

Thanks @joeleonjr!

Yes, I see that @sunny143code posted the secret in the source of rcloud.conf in a comment. I obfuscated it back then, but it is still visible in the history.

@sunny143code, it’s been a few years. I agree you should probably assume bad guys have your secret by now, check for any damage, and revoke the API key.
