shinyproxy-prototype

How to run from scratch

1. Git Clone the repository
2. Create a docker network that ShinyProxy will use to communicate with the Shiny containers.

sudo docker network create sp-example-net

3. Open a terminal, go to the directory where Dockerfile and application.yml is present and run the following command to build the ShinyProxy image:

sudo docker build . -t shinyproxy-proto

4. Run the following command to launch the ShinyProxy container:

sudo docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --group-add $(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3) --net sp-example-net -p 8080:8080 shinyproxy-proto

Note: inside the Docker container, ShinyProxy runs as a non-root user, therefore it does not have access to the Docker socket by default. By adding the --group-add $(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3) option we ensure that the user is part of the docker group and thus has access to the Docker daemon.

Note: by adding the -d option to the command (just after docker run), the Docker container will run in the background.

How to run the image that is on github container registry

1. Run the following command to pull and launch the ShinyProxy container:

sudo docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --group-add $(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3) --net sp-example-net -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/spatreitm/shinyproxy_proto:latest
