Network Port and Address

After initial installation Posit Workbench accepts connections on port 8787. If you wish to listen on a different port you can modify the www-port option. 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

Note that changes to the configuration will not take effect until the server is restarted.
