@JCruk Check out https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch with image R (jupyterlab/r/verse:latest) – which includes code-server.

Accessing with https results in a page that won't load:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

1. For localhost/127.0.0.1 HTTP is sufficient
2. For anything else you need TLS encryption
   • This means providing a secure connection over HTTPS
   • Use a reverse proxy like Caddy, Nginx, Træfik, etc.
