RStudio Server and OpenSSL on Armbian/Rock64

laryx · July 19, 2019, 11:14am

I am trying to build RStudio Server from source under Armbian "Buster" running on a Rock64 (64-bit ARM architecture). Armbian comes with OpenSSL Version 1.1, whereas the latest version of RStudio Server (1.2.1335) depends on Version 1.0. The script "dependencies/linux/install-dependencies-debian" explicitly says that the source is not yet compatible with OpenSSL 1.1 or above.

I am wondering whether there will be an upgrade to RStudio Server so that I can use the up-to-date OpenSSL library instead.

(Historical remark: I have successfully built and used RStudio Server 1.1.463 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS running on the same Rock64. But the time has come to upgrade the OS / switch to another one...)

Thanks, Laryx

We do build RStudio against OpenSSL 1.1; for example, with Ubuntu Bionic (using libssl-dev there). See:

github.com

rstudio/rstudio/blob/master/docker/jenkins/Dockerfile.bionic-amd64

FROM ubuntu:bionic

ARG AWS_REGION=us-east-1

# install needed packages. replace httpredir apt source with cloudfront
RUN set -x \
    && sed -i "s/archive.ubuntu.com/$AWS_REGION.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/" /etc/apt/sources.list \
    && export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y gnupg1 \
    && apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x51716619e084dab9 \
    && echo 'deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list \
    && apt-get update

# add ppa repository so we can install java 8 (not in any official repo for bionic)
RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y software-properties-common \
  && add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa

RUN apt-get update && \

for the Dockerfile we use when building there.

I think the install-dependencies-debian script may just out of date.
