I will add to this, that whatever solution chosen here should probably be coordinated with a hard fork to the Hula lab or other organizational repo, so that future features can be implemented by future doc students easily
Will mentioned this in one of his most recent emails (something about the VA hosting it..?) ~Will?
Let me ask the VHF about this. They pay for a professional-looking website that we could probably get a free page on: https://veteranshealthfoundation.org/. I have a mildly outdate page here: https://veteranshealthfoundation.org/researchers/william-d-hula-ph-d-ccc-slp/. I assume i could get this modified or maybe get a new page dedicated to the PNT-CAT.
Rob- can you give me any information to inform my question to the VHF? Like, any specs (I don't really know what I'm asking for here) that the contractor who maintains the page would need or want to know?
Right - the question I suppose then is whether the VHF can provide any cloud computing resources. Most websites are considered static (mostly HTML code) - which is what your current bio on VHF is. Shiny requires a backend server with R installed to perform the calculations under the hood. this is typically done on a virtual Linux server. The typical cloud providers for this kind of thing are amazon web services, google cloud, and digital ocean. I'd be surprised if this was the case, but perhaps worth asking.
Rob- a couple of questions for you:
Summary from end of July meeting:
We will go with a free shinyapps.io account to start with. Upgrade to the $9 account if necessary
We can always keep the free one so that any pub links work, even if eventually we move it to its own server.
Closing this issue as resolved.
