Rock

Rock is an R server with a REST API. It is based on the Rserve R package and exposes the following REST web services:

to start/stop and get the status of the R server
to create and interact with stateful R server sessions

In addition to that Rock aims at being:

safe, by using authentication and restricting the scope of activities of an R session thanks to RAppArmor
scalable, by registering itself in consul service registry and also as an Opal app.

Requires Java and R to be installed with Rserve package.

Continuous integration is on Travis.
