Deploy IOHanalyzer through ShinyProxy and docker

This example is similar to the example 'standalone ShinyProxy with a docker engine', with one exception: ShinyProxy runs in a container itself, in the same container manager (i.e. docker engine) that also hosts the containers for the users' Shiny apps.

Requirement

The only requirement is a working docker system. Please consult the docker official documentation to see how to install docker on your server platform: https://docs.docker.com/install/

How to deploy IOHanalyzer over the server

1. On the server you would like to deploy IOHanalyzer, please download or clone this repository:

git clone git@github.com:IOHprofiler/IOHanalyzer-docker.git

2. enter the folder

cd IOHanalyzer-docker

3. Create a docker network that ShinyProxy will use to communicate with the Shiny containers.

sudo docker network create ioh-net

4. Run the following command to build the ShinyProxy image:

sudo docker build . -t iohanalyzer

5. Run the following command to launch the ShinyProxy container:

sudo docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --net ioh-net -p 80:8080 iohanalyzer

Notes on the configuration

• ShinyProxy will listen for HTTP traffic on port 8080 while it will be rediect to 80 by the container.
• The custom bridge network ioh-net is needed to allow the containers to access each other using the container ID as hostname.
