I was wondering if it is possible to host a shinylive app via IPFS https://ipfs.tech/ ?
In theory, it should work with a localhost connection?
I am only beginning to understand the infrastructure but in my testing, I get an error that says:
Shinylive uses a Service Worker, which requires either a connection to localhost, or a connection via https.
which seems to come from
// src/load-shinylive-sw.ts
var localhostNames = ["localhost", "127.0.0.1", "[::1]"];
if (window.location.protocol !== "https:" && !localhostNames.includes(window.location.hostname)) {
const errorMessage = "Shinylive uses a Service Worker, which requires either a connection to localhost, or a connection via https.";
document.body.innerText = errorMessage;
throw Error(errorMessage);
}
Thank you for working on this exciting tech!

The URL to the example app looks something like:
http://bafybeidqxcurjbnkahltgppzfwwcp6te2ncz426at3675vbebalxppe454.ipfs.localhost:8080/?filename=index.html
I'm using a native IPFS browser (Brave) connected to a local IPFS node.
Other experiments using Joe Cheng's example (fork here) seem to render only the text:
http://bafybeica5jbha66yt3mq34j4ndbxd74gg4idzfesblc5x3ncqnnvowdjzu.ipfs.localhost:8080/?filename=R-shinylive-demo.html
FWIW, the
R-shinylive-demo.html
was rendered with the#| standalone: true
option.Is this something that is possible?
Thank you!
