Rock

Rock is an R server with a REST API. It is based on the Rserve R package and exposes the following REST web services:

• to start/stop and get the status of the R server
• to create and interact with stateful R server sessions

In addition to that Rock aims at being:

• safe, by using authentication and restricting the scope of activities of an R session thanks to RAppArmor
• scalable, by registering itself as an Opal app.

Requires Java and R to be installed with Rserve package.

• Have a bug or a question? Please create an issue on GitHub.
• Continuous integration is on Travis.
