Any one using this software r and r studio?

Client has a medical environment which is hipaa and this is open source ?

If you deployed this what is the best way you found to be secure install local machine for user?
Server?
Cloud?

They want to keep cost down.

They have a vmware vCenter atmosphere.

Any advice greatly appreciated?

I am in an engineering environment and do not have the regulatory nightmares. I simply used LDAP for authentication and created system ODBC connections so that they could reference the database without embedding the database username and password in their R code. I believe that the firewall is also limiting the IPs that can access the RStudio server.
This was done under Ubuntu 24.04 LTS referencing a Windows 2019 box for the LDAP. I made a group for the users who have RStudio access.

I’ve installed it for engineers and fooled around with it a bit myself. It’s a local install, so by itself should not present issues with HIPAA or similar so long as it’s in a complaint environment. Fundamentally no different than installing PyCharm or Visual Studio. It’s what the developer might do with R/Python/VS and the related data that needs to be of concern for regulations.

“compliant” not “complaint”

Thank you both for you insights.

They want to pull information from there emr I have never set this up so not sure how to do it once its installed locally?

That sounds an awful lot like a software engineering problem, not an IT problem. The device vendor usually provides documentation on how to interface with it.
