"desktop" link fails when install.R and runtime.txt are added

[kozo2]

When install.R and runtime.txt are added to the binder directory, the "desktop" link (noVNC) does not start well.
Do you have any ideas about this?

This works well.

This does not work.

I suspect it is because the addition of those, triggers adding in RStudio which is now using the nbserverproxy, perhaps? You'll note that the one that doesn't work, works for RStudio with rstudio instead of desktop.

Is the goal to have R running in the desktop,too?

Thank you for your comment.
I don't understand the function of nbserverproxy and I need to understand it.

[kozo2]

My goal is

1. Running xfce Desktop in Binder
   And
2. Making RStudio server available like https://github.com/binder-examples/r
   in a Binder pod.

Oops, sorry. According to here the proxying for RStudio is done by nbressionproxy.

Thank you for information.
It seems I also need to learn about nbressionproxy and repo2docker.
