RSutdio-server installation behaves as follows:

  1. Whenever working as usual, leave the web client unattended for some time (not sure but maybe around 1-2 hours?)
  2. After pause, click anything to get a notification "Resuming R session..."
  3. /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rsession -u username grows back from ~120MB to proper size (usually not less than 11GB which is how I left it), but it takes 5 times slower than reading CSV in my desktop.
  4. After success, RStudio usually gets responsive

How can I change the time after RStudio server sleeps ?

Also, I don't understand why it takes 3 times slower to read a big CSV on my university server as compared to my laptop. They have 24 Intel Xeon cores and 256GB RAM. I have i5 and 12GB RAM.

Thanks!

The question "How to change session suspend time in RStudio server has a new answer" has been answered by official support board at support.rstudio.com

It's possible to configure the session-timeout in RStudio Server if you have admin access by modifying the session-timeout-minutes value in /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf
