This is a Docker setup for a Django application acting as an authentication and authorization server for a Shiny application, through the NginX reverse-proxy and auth-request module.

• We use NginX as reverse proxy.
• We use auth-request module to add an authorization step for each request directed to Shiny.
• The initial Shiny application main page is wrapped into a Django-powered page, so we can build an interface above Shiny, with user and access rights management.

A Makefile is available for convenience. You might need to use sudo make instead of just make because docker and docker-compose commands often needs admin privilege.

You need to install Docker and Docker-Compose.

sudo make all.

sudo make up.
