In our last blog post we mentioned the need people felt to integrate Shiny apps in content management systems like Drupal. Release 0.7.8 added one extra feature in this respect so people could also include ShinyProxy hosted Shiny apps in external iframes. It also kicked-off our effort to support service scalability and ever more complex apps. In the scalability area, we introduced facilities to manage and set memory limits on individual Shiny applications.
Since the last release (see this blog post), we received two interesting use cases for which we did not imagine ShinyProxy would be used. First of all, we received a request to support other authentication methods than LDAP authentication. Whereas ShinyProxy is currently used primarily by larger organizations and companies that typically work with LDAP-based authentication systems, it seems people appreciate the elegance of the framework also for more small-scale use.
Our previous post on the how and why of ShinyProxy triggered a lot of encouraging reactions. Here’s our favorite: Indeed choosing for Docker opens a world of possibilities for ShinyProxy and making you no longer dependent on a particular version of R or shiny is only one of the advantages. We also received a number of useful suggestions and decided to quickly release the new features and fixes as version 0.
ShinyProxy is a novel, open source platform to deploy Shiny apps for the enterprise or larger organizations. Why is this needed? There is currently no valid open source alternative that offers this functionality. What does it offer? authentication authorization securing traffic with TLS/SSL usage statistics scalability This is free and open source, is there also a paying and proprietary version?
The knarrs of Open Analytics have left the port of Antwerp on their way to Denmark. What will our delegation bring to Aalborg besides our loyal sponsorship? Tuesday For starters we’ve just released a Dockerfile Editor which may be particularly useful for Dirk Eddelbuettel’s tutorial on Docker on June 30. An overview of all tutorials can be found here.
