Container for RStudio (not server)

Hi,

I am trying to setup a container for RStudio (not the server). My problem is that on our system (Debian 11), I could not install Rstudio. I tried putting together a Singularity recipe. I should have been able to install a .deb file with apt (on an ubuntu image it worked), but for some reason, I needed this ugly way to get it to work.

Bootstrap: docker
From: r-base

# This is a container to run RStudio

%setup

%files
    rstudio-2023.03.0-386-amd64.deb /rstudio-2023.03.0-386-amd64.deb

%post
    echo "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye main " > /etc/apt/sources.list # this was needed for libssl1.1
    apt-get update && apt-get install -y systemd libssl1.1 libclang-dev libxkbcommon-x11-0 libsqlite3-0 libpq5 \
    libnss3-dev libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 libdrm2 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev libasound2
    cat /etc/os-release # I needed to know which version of RStudio to install
    dpkg -i /rstudio-2023.03.0-386-amd64.deb
    apt install -y

This compiles, but when I try to run, I got the following error:

[3433037:0421/161335.902512:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /usr/lib/rstudio/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/BPT trap

If I give it the --no-sandbox argument, I get: Trace/BPT trap

This is the exact same error that I get if I try to install it on our system without a container. I do not have root to solve it.

Any thoughts or ideas on how to solve this error? It seems to be related to Debian >=11

Thank you for the help!
