# add user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker pirate

# create directories to communicate with container
cd ~
mkdir shiny-server
mkdir shiny-server/logs
mkdir shiny-server/conf
mkdir shiny-server/apps

# bind directories
docker volume create --name shiny-apps --opt type=none --opt device=/home/pirate/shiny-server/apps/ --opt o=bind
docker volume create --name shiny-logs --opt type=none --opt device=/home/pirate/shiny-server/logs/ --opt o=bind
docker volume create --name shiny-conf --opt type=none --opt device=/home/pirate/shiny-server/conf/ --opt o=bind

# run the container
docker run \
    --detach \
    --publish 3838:3838 \
    --volume shiny-apps:/srv/shiny-server/ \
    --volume shiny-logs:/var/log/shiny-server/ \
