This repository contains the html code for my Digital Ocean Droplet welcome page which contains my Shiny applications and my RStudio Server. This repository also contains notes to remind myself how to run the damn thing.
The code and asthetics of my server is based entirely on the work of Dr. Saskia A. Otto. Including her tutorials on how to setup the server:
- Run Shiny Server on your own Digital Ocean Droplet - Part 1
- Run Shiny Server on your own Digital Ocean Droplet - Part 2
Which she built off of the tutorial by Dean Attali:
The shiny apps are located here:: /srv/shiny-server/
- I prefer to just have my Shiny Apps listed in the hexagons on my welcome page, but you can have a shiny page html located here
/srv/shiny-server/index.htmlfor RhettRautsaw.app/shiny
The website html is managed by nginx.
- The welcome page html is located here:
/var/www/html/ - Once updated, you will need to restart nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
Shiny configuration file is located here: /etc/shiny-server/shiny-server.conf
- Got to DigitalOcean.com and rename the Droplet
- On the server edit
/etc/hostsand/etc/hostname
- Buy a URL somewhere and then do this
- Go to your DigitalOcean.com and do this
- Edit "server_name" in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default- Note that everything else is probably managed by Certbot
- Verify nginx syntax
sudo nginx -tand correct any errors - Reload nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx - Obtain an SSL Certificate with Certbot
sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com
In case I need to add a app session timeout: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33839543/shiny-server-session-time-out-doesnt-work
