This repository contains a very basic R-Shiny application that use the renv package for its dependencies and that can be run in a Docker container.

First clone this repository and move inside.

git clone https://github.com/juliendiot42/shiny-docker-renv-example.git
cd shiny-docker-renv-example

You can now create a new image names docker_renv_shiny_app with the command:

docker build -t docker_renv_shiny_app .

You can now start the container with:

docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 docker_renv_shiny_app

Note:

• It is importat to map one of the host port to the container's port 3838 (which serve the shiny app).
• After the flag -p the first number is the host port and the second the container port.

You can then access the app by going to http://localhost:3838.
