I am trying to build a Rstudio/Shiny App and post it in our intranet so that everyone else in our office could see it. I am a windows guy, and the instructions online about how to setup a shiny server within Linux environment is a bit difficult for me. Is there an easy way that I can could accomplish this goal without messing up with Linux. Even if I have to do so, is there an easy way to just have my webpage available to people within our company, not everyone on the internet. Thanks!
you don't need shiny server for this, you just need to run an R instance with shiny
http://rstudio.github.io/shiny/tutorial/#ui-and-server
shiny automatically runs it at local host... you need to change it to your own ip if you want your colleges be able to access it..
ip="192.168.178.10" # change this!
runApp("../microplate",host=ip) # change microplate to the name of your shiny package/app
RStudio also has a hosted Shiny option that is currently in Alpha. You can sign up here https://www.shinyapps.io/admin/#/signup
With hosted Shiny the intention is to let developers focus on building applications while RStudio will worry about managing servers, monitoring performance, and ensuring uptime.
I am sharing apps using the following:
runApp(list(ui=ui, server=server), host="0.0.0.0", port=1234)
(if your ui.R and server.R are in the same file)
runApp("C:/shinyapp", host="0.0.0.0", port=1234)
(if you have an ui.R and a server.R files as 2 files in the shinyapp folder)
After, I send my IP followed by the port that I set up as an hyperlink. Assuming that my IP is 192.168.178.10, I will send:
