Logging

Shiny logs are in this folder:

/var/log/shiny-server/

Salt

To add Shiny to your server, add config.r to your pillar e.g:

base:
  'kb-g':
    - config.r
    - sites.kb-g

Script

To add a script to your Shiny server:

Copy the script to the shiny folder in your project folder e.g:

shiny/app.R

Convert the script to Linux format:

fromdos shiny/app.R

Add the source file to GIT and commit with a suitable comment.

Copy the file from shiny/app.R to the server:

/srv/shiny-server/app.R

Issues

We had an issue where the page view was drawing, but had no charts or data. There were no errors in the log.

To solve the issue, we added server = TRUE to updateSelectizeInput e.g:

updateSelectizeInput(
  session,
  inputId = "platform",
  choices = as.vector(df$platform),
  selected = df$platform,
  server = TRUE
)
