Add RStudio to the base image

yuvipanda · yuvipanda · commit 94f03f3fd7a7 · 2021-05-22T19:53:33.000+05:30
Uses github.com/jupyterhub/jupyter-rsession-proxy/ to provide
RStudio :)

You can test this with:

$ docker build -t paws images/singleuser
$ docker run -p 8888:8888 paws jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0

This should start a notebook server, and print a URL with a token
you can use to connect to the docker container &amp; test the image.
Since this uses port forwarding, it'll most likely only work if you
are running docker locally (and not via docker-machine)
