Deploy your Shiny App

We use a script stored on DSA NFS to depoly Shiny Apps

/dsa/scripts/shiny-deploy

To run this script, we have 3 input arguments

/dsa/scripts/shiny_deploy COURSE WORKING_DIRECTORY APP_FOLDER
  1. COURSE: The course you build this Shiny App for
  2. WORKING_DIRECTORY: The directory you store your Shiny Apps
  3. APP_FOLDER: The folder stores the Shiny App you want to deploy

For example, I have a Shiny App called hello for course DATA-SCI-8320 is ready to deploy and located at the following path

~/jupyter/test-apps/hello

The command to deploy this Shiny App will be

/dsa/scripts/shiny_deploy DATA-SCI-8320 ~/jupyter/test-apps hello

Once the Shiny App is successfully deployed, you will see the follwoing message

xxx@jupyter-xxx:~/jupyter$ /dsa/scripts/shiny_deploy DATA-SCI-8320 ~/jupyter/test-apps hello
