Vanity path

[StephanieD123]

For the "Whistle" app that we currently have here: https://rstudio.sca.iu.edu/connect/#/apps/17/access, can we have the link say Whistle instead of ...apps/17/access...?

Also, can we use our website domain biostats.indiana.edu/Shiny/Whistle? I forget if we talked about that - and what you would need from our IT web team?

Hi Stephanie,

I've added the 'vanity' URL - you can now access it at https://rstudio.sca.iu.edu/whistle

To your 2nd question, I don't think we discussed it previously. At the simplest, your IT admin (whoever operates that website) could setup a redirect on the biostats.indiana.edu webserver so that specific URL biostats.indiana.edu/shiny/whistle redirects to https://rstudio.sca.iu.edu/whistle. Would that work for you?

Best Regards, -a

Great – thanks. And if we re-publish a revised app with the name “Whistle” will it overwrite it, so the ‘vanity’ URL still holds for the updated version?

Sure, the pointer is a good idea.

Thanks, Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

As I understand it, if you either A) re-publish from the same project folder or B) publish from a new Shiny app with the exact same name, it should work. In the former case, it will just update since it has already published to the server. In the latter, it should ask to overwrite.

When a project is first published from RStudio, it creates an rsconnect directory with the connection / URL info. Their documentation recommends keeping this with the version control for the project so everyone working with the repository is publishing correctly.
