Many organisations that are interested in shiny server pro may care for installing it on a supported version of linux like RHEL.

This is a typical dev configuration as it includes in one docker configuration:

  • RStudio
  • Shiny Server (free edition) appple

Build with (from the folder containing the Dockerfile):

docker build --force-rm=false --no-cache=true --tag="smartinsightsfromdata/shinypro" .

Test with (this will show the supervisor interactions to the console):

docker run -p 3838:3838 -p 8787:8787 -t -i smartinsightsfromdata/shinysrv

If you don't want to save the container, run with (you could also use -v to store on your host the shiny folder to use on the server):

docker run --rm  -p 3838:3838 -p 8787:8787  smartinsightsfromdata/shinysrv
