R Studio Server

[anotherusername]

Hi,

I really would love to get R and especially R Studio Server running on my NAS (AS-604T).

However my skills in compiling from source and packaging are basically zero.

Is it necessary to build an App for this or is it also possible to somehow install the required sources from the command line?
And is it difficult to build an App?

Thanks for any feedback and sorry for my cluelessness

Is it necessary to build an App for this

No. but building an App does help contribute to the community and allow others to install

Code: Select all

 is it also possible to somehow install the required sources from the command line

Yes. The thing to keep in mind is that you will need to install to a permanent section of your volume and link all the files into the system path (/usr/local)
Also, for compiling you will need to use the tool-chain or compile on a Ubuntu box with the same linux core version... You can't compile on the NAS.

And is it difficult to build an App?

Not too difficult.. if you get it running on the NAS, the App is really just a package that takes the compiled source and puts it in the correct place.

If you are serious about this, sign up at appv2.asustor.com
Once registered, you will have access to the tool-chains, build tools and instructions.

Thanks for the reply and all the hints!

An app would be definitely nice to have, maybe there are some more people interested in R Studio.

If I find some time, I will try to get something together.
