The R Shiny Info

This page covers the internal-facing, non-public shiny server for SPACe. We distinguish between three roles:

  • The data analyst: The people who are developing apps and want to have them deployed on behalf of the SG on the shiny server. All the development work will be done exclusively on the dev-VM. Obviously, they should also be able to see and interact with the app on the production/live VM at https://eidf.epcc.ed.ac.uk/space-shiny/ as if they were a normal user.

  • The user: The people accessing the apps on the production/live VM at https://eidf.epcc.ed.ac.uk/space-shiny/ and interacting with them there.

  • The sudo user: SG person who helps the data analyst in the deployment process. Only they will be able to move the app to the test and production/live VMs.

This guide covers the processes from the data analysts' persepective.

Contact the SPACe helpdesk if you have any questions.
