Can I quit a tab running rstudio server in aws?


I opened a EC2 using Louis Aslett's R Studio server AMI. I have a R script to takes a long time to perform the task. How can I maintain the task running without rstudio tab opened in chrome?


Solution

  • I host an instance of rstudio-server and mostly use it remotely via chrome on my laptop, and closing the browser tab does not affect the server computation. Often running scripts overnight.

    The browser just provides a front-end interface, and as long as you're not killing the AWS session, it should be fine to close the tab.
