Using docker

If you have docker installed, you don't need R or to install any libraries used by this app to run it locally.

Grabbing the image

You can grab the docker image in either of the two ways:

• Directly obtain the image from dockerhub by running docker pull yuejiang/snakeplotter. This should take seconds.
• or build the image locally by cloning this repo git clone https://github.com/Yue-Jiang/snakeplotter.git, cd snakeplotter, and running docker build . -f Dockerfile -t yuejiang/snakeplotter:latest. This takes longer since it's building from scratch. Once it's done, you can confirm the image has been built by running docker image ls, which will hopefully give you something like this:

REPOSITORY              TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
yuejiang/snakeplotter   latest              413914287a35        42 seconds ago      1.2GB
rocker/shiny            latest              e6cb4ad59fcd        3 months ago        1.18GB

Running the container

After the image is built, you can run it by docker run -d -p 80:3838 --name c_snakeplotter yuejiang/snakeplotter:latest. To confirm it's running, key docker ps -as and hopefully it gives you something like this:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED                  STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES               SIZE
e1ea0dcc5772        yuejiang/snakeplotter:latest   "/usr/bin/shiny-serv…"   Less than a second ago   Up 21 seconds       0.0.0.0:80->3838/tcp   c_snakeplotter      0B (virtual 1.2GB)

In your browser, go to localhost/snakeplotter and the app should be there. Note the path is as such because I specified it in the Dockerfile - it has nothing to do with the image or container name in case you wish to rename them. Unless you modify the COPY line of Dockerfile, this path will not change.

Cleaning up

To stop the container, key docker stop c_snakeplotter. Note c_snakeplotter is the container name.

Then remove the container docker rm c_snakeplotter.

Then you will be allowed to remove the image docker image rm yuejiang/snakeplotter. Note yuejiang/snakeplotter is the image name.
