Provide RStudio server as alternative to VS Code

[hturner]

This is a big task, possibly meriting a fork of the container. Or can we even customise the options, so people can choose an IDE when launching the container?

Interesting to explore, but we should iron out the main workflows first.

I second this, however, I'd like to get proper CLion support instead. Many people in academia get it for free, why not use it.
P.S. Hello, fellow RSE.

@hturner Now we can run r-studio on web using codespaces finally.
I've customize devcontainer to run r-server on web

You can checkout branch 'r-studio'
After tinkering around rocker project(r docker).
I found one way to run r-studio on web(actually 2 ways but other one is not working right now).

We can run codespaces on r-studio branch which will let up open r-studio in browser

After clicking on "open in browser"(bottom-right) we will get redirect to github codespaces webview and find login for r-studio

For now I've set user and password both as 'rstudio'(we can also directly open r-studio but for now I've kept it default).

After login we can see r-studio server
