    Description

    Central server hosting of researcher-developed, public-facing Shiny web applications.

    Service Description
    Shiny allows users to build web applications in the R programming language. This service allows users to publish their applications on a centrally hosted server using some simple tools maintained by Research IT. Applications published using the server are publicly accessible.

    The system has been designed to be easy to use; researchers can publish their apps with just a few clicks, using an RStudio addon. The hosted apps run using the same package versions as on the researcher’s local machine. Each user can host multiple apps, and the service can also host RMarkdown notebooks.

    The tools as well as full instructions on how to use them are provided on the appropriate Research IT GitHub repository.
