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 in consul service registry and also as an Opal app.
Requires Java and R to be installed with Rserve package.
