add Shiny to ropensci docker image #4

Closed cboettig closed 10 years ago

Would there be a compelling use case for adding OpenCPU?

cboettig commented 10 years ago

sounds good to me; just haven't had a chance to play around with OpenCPU much. Kinda like shiny + a REST API?

sckott commented 10 years ago

Hmm, more like opencpu itself provides a rest api to an R session on a server, and you can make shiny like things with it, but you can also just use it on the command line, etc.

Thanks. I've added both. I've added these as separate dockerfiles rather than adding them on top of the rstudio/ropensci images. This means that even if you are deploying each of these services on the same server, each can run in it's own container. I think this makes things a bit more robust, since a failure in one container need not impact the other ones. Meanwhile you can also deploy just, say, the shiny server without needing to deploy the others.

Nice, thanks @cboettig !
