Network Port and Address
By default, Posit Workbench accepts connections on port 8787 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
Configuring a custom HTTP port
To configure Workbench to listen on a different port, modify the www-port
option in rserver.conf
and restart Workbench. For example:
/etc/rstudio/rserver.conf
www-port=80
By default Workbench binds to address 0.0.0.0 (accepting connections from any remote IP). You can modify this behavior using the www-address
option. For example:
/etc/rstudio/rserver.conf
www-address=127.0.0.1
Then restart Workbench by running the following command:
terminal
$ sudo rstudio-server restart
Changes to the configuration do not take effect until the server is restarted.
