It will be updated more in the future

It’s a bit more hassle to deploy with shiny live. I think it’s easier to deploy from DO. The cronjobs I can migrate to a Github repository.

I'm trying to deploy with shinylive now. This seems to work fine.

• Installation and deployment is relatively straightforward.
  • Install rsconnect-python
  • Configure with API token
    • rsconnect add --account <ACCOUNT> --name <NAME> --token <TOKEN> --secret <SECRET>
  • poetry run rsconnect deploy shiny dashboard/ --name leonlan --title tour-du-mont-blanc1
• Need to make custom requirements.txt file.
• Data and app needs to be in one single directory.

This now works and is live at https://leonlan.shinyapps.io/tour-du-mont-blanc/!

OK I think I broke shinyapps. I can no longer deploy 😂

❯ rsconnect deploy shiny dashboard/ --name leonlan --title tmb
Validating server...    [OK]
Validating app mode...  [OK]
Making bundle ...   [OK]
Deploying bundle ...    [ERROR]: shinyapps.io reported an error (calling /v1/applications/11368541): Not Found
Error: shinyapps.io reported an error (calling /v1/applications/11368541): Not Found

I deleted too many servers I think.

poetry run rsconnect deploy shiny dashboard/ --name leonlan --title dashboard --new 

With --new a new deployment is forced that works. Cool. It's now available at https://leonlan.shinyapps.io/dashboard/.

Shinyapps is not sustainable on the long term because it's free plan only allows for 25 hour active hours, and scaling to 100 active hours costs 13$/month. But it's nice to have during development.
