Does it work in the same client-server fashion? (With Jupyter you can run the notebook on a server or the head machine of a cluster and then access the notebook remotely from your laptop or desktop.)


No. All local, although you could set up an Rstudio Server in theory and run the Notebook there, although I have less experience with that.

There are R packages which allow communicating with a server, mostly big data packages. (sparklyr allows you to connect to a remote Spark cluster)


It's very easy to set up an RStudio server. I used to run one on Azure. Took minutes to set up and you get the whole RStudio suite, including R notebooks.
