@mbojan can you pls lmk if you know how to fix these? Otherwise, I'll see if I can get help online. Thx@

[mbojan]

Do you remember what were you doing in the app that generated the log, the errors at the end in particular?

[martinamorris]

The only thing I was doing was running the command deployApp(), following the instructions here

[mbojan]

Strange. The app runs for me locally. Maybe it is because of some outdated dependencies on the shinyapps server? I don't have much experience with Shiny to honest.

[martinamorris]

runs for me locally as well, and the update was just published on CRAN

[martinamorris]

Ok, so I fixed the first error by using deployApp(appMode="shiny")

But I'm getting a new error: Timeout waiting for '_check_container_alive' after 30 seconds

Comes after all packages are installed and locales generated. Quarto is installed on my machine, but there's still a flag during deployment. Online stuff suggests this may just be random, and deployment will work later. Have tried 3 times in quick succession with no change.

Quarto not found.
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.

The key to the shinyapps.io deployment was to deploy from the Rstudio publish button. For some reason, using the command line syntax deployApp() just didn't work.
