I want to set up rstudio-server on an iMac with support for multiple users and remote login. I followed the steps in the INSTALL tutorial: I built the source, set up the configuration files and the launchd daemon. At first, it works fine, but after some time, I get these warnings/errors when I plot:
2022-06-09 08:02:29.438 rsession[3050:139329] XType: failed to connect - Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.fonts was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 3 - No such process." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.fonts was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 3 - No such process.}
2022-06-09 08:02:29.438 rsession[3050:139329] Font server protocol version mismatch (expected:5 got:0), falling back to local fonts
2022-06-09 08:02:29.438 rsession[3050:139329] XType: unable to make a connection to the font daemon!
2022-06-09 08:02:29.438 rsession[3050:139329] XType: XTFontStaticRegistry is enabled as fontd is not available.
Then I can't plot any more unless I restart R and re-run my code. Do you know what could be the issue? I could not get any help when opening an issue on the rstudio-server github since MacOS is not officially supported.
I was also looking at running rstudio-server via docker, but I couldn't find a good way to map the user namespace from macOS to the container.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: It seems I was able to solve the issue by launching the fontd daemon with:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.fontd.useragent.plist
