Development

To develop the app within the docker container, run:

(variables GITHUB_USER and GITHUB_TOKEN must be provided for git functions to work)

docker run --rm -it \
  -v ${PWD}:/srv/shiny-server \
  -w /srv/shiny-server \
  -e USERID=$(id -u) \
  -e GROUPID=$(id -g) \
  -e GITHUB_USER=${GITHUB_USER} \
  -e GITHUB_TOKEN=${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
  -p 3838:3838 \
  joelnitta/shinyppg:latest bash

Inside the container, run /usr/bin/shiny-start.sh to start the shiny app.

Attach a VS Code session to the running container (for some reason, if you don't do this, the env vars won't get passed correctly (T_T)​ ​ )

Navigate to http://localhost:3838/ to access the app.

Kill the shiny-server with ctrl+c and re-run it as necessary during development to refresh with the latest code.

Another terminal window (or VS Code session) can be opened inside the container for development.
