Hello,
We run Rstudio server on our off network server and we experience the following behaviour when trying to run the simplest shiny application:
After clicking Run app RStudio hangs on 'Checking Installed packages' and after about a minute it returns an error that it cannot find packages shiny and sourcetools (I can load both packages in the RStudio R console)
When investigating the network traffic it looks like the page is issuing a POST request for unsatisfied_dependencies and is not getting the response.
I can also see on the server that rserver issues a curl request to CRAN that times out after ~minute.
Can you please help me understanding why RStudio is trying to update the packages when it is offline and how to fix this?
Also this errors appears in the console:
