I used shinyapps.io for my own shiny app. It’s a great service. You can deploy your app for free, test it and show it to other people. But there’s also a downside: The memory an app can use is limited. So I was looking for another way to deploy my app. So I took a look at Docker.

This post provides a guide to use ShinyProxy, an open-source tool with enterprise features, to deploy R Shiny apps.

This post provides a guide to secure ShinyProxy with Nginx, Certbot and AWS Cognito, and monitor usage statistics with InfluxDB, Telegraf and Grafana.

Environment Management with Docker

Package your RShiny app into a docker container for local deployment. No rshiny-server or special rshiny.conf configurations necessary!
