Host app on shared drive error

[Nilafhiosagam]

Hi. I was interested in sharing an app within my company. We don't have a shiny server and the data is private so I thought shiny live would be perfect to create a html file on a share folder for people without any knowledge of r or programming in general to access. However it seems as though you cannot run it locally. Is their a workaround for this

Are you hosting the static app files from a web server, or just trying to load them from disk? In my brief testing, I get the same error as you only if I double-click the .html file and try to load it directly in a browser. If I use httpuv::runStaticServer("site/", port=8008) it works fine.

I am trying to load from disk as my goal was to share an app with non tech savy people, however it seems like I would need to have a web server or I see other workarounds disabling flags in chrome. Unfortunately both difficult in my locked down organisation

Due to technical limitations, it will not be possible to have it loaded from a local file.

The files must be hosted by something (GitHub pages, httpuv, S3, anything that hosts the files).
