You can set-up access to the RStudio server via a proxy. By doing that and setting up the Apache or Nginx web server to use SSL, you will have secure access to the RStudio server.

Here's an example of how you can both Shiny and RStudio running on the same domain using SSL and Nginx. If you use https://YOURDOMAIN/ it will run your shiny apps; https://YOURDOMAIN/rstudio to be able to edit the shiny apps directly from the browser!

Replace YOURDOMAIN with your server URL:

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
 default upgrade;
 ''     close;
}

#Server with proxy
server {
 listen 443 ssl default_server;
 listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
 ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/cert.pem;
 ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/privkey.pem;

 server_name YOURDOMAIN;

 location / {
     proxy_pass http://localhost:3838;
     proxy_redirect http://localhost:3838/ $scheme://$host/;
     proxy_http_version 1.1;
     proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
     proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
     proxy_read_timeout 20d;
 }

 location /rstudio/ {
     rewrite ^/rstudio/(.*)$ /$1 break;
     proxy_pass http://localhost:8787;
     proxy_redirect http://localhost:8787/ $scheme://$host/rstudio/;
     proxy_http_version 1.1;
     proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
     proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
     proxy_read_timeout 20d;
 }
}

Unfortunately SSL is only available in the paid version. See: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio-server-pro/

    This is not accurate. SSL is *easy* to get in the paid version, but it is certainly possible to set up SSL for the free version – arokem Nov 01 '18 at 12:50
  • @arokem Perhaps you could provide a solution then that works with the free version of rserver? – James Hirschorn Dec 08 '21 at 19:10
