Deploying plumber enabled R application to Bluemix / Cloud Foundry

Deploying plumber enabled R application to Bluemix / Cloud Foundry

I am trying to deploy plumber enabled R application to Bluemix / Cloud Foundry using https://github.com/beibeiyang/cf-buildpack-r.git build pack

The application is trivial (app.R): 

library(plumber)

api <- plumb("api.R")

PORT <- as.numeric( Sys.getenv('PORT') )
message (PORT)

api$run(port=PORT)

and in my Procfile I have

web: Rscript app.R

In the log files I see that the installation (including the dependencies) completes successfully and my message is printed.

The issue is that I cant access the deployed app. If I use 

health-check-type: port

then the app fails the health check and is not accessible at all. If I use 

health-check-type: process

The app starts but trying to access its URL results in 502 bad gateway.

Looks like by default, plumber binds to the wrong host, the following works:

api$run(host="0.0.0.0", port=PORT)
