How to host Shiny Apps

This site serves shiny apps that are hosted on a separate EC2 instance and displayed using an iframe. To manage the instance, use the LangCog's AWS Management Console.

To set up a secure shiny server (without purchasing shiny server pro), we followed the steps outlined in this post.

The domain name -- peekbank-shiny.com -- was purchased via namecheap and configured to point at the public IP for the Peekbank-shiny EC2 instance following these steps.

To connect to the shiny server via https, an SSL certificate was generated using CertBot and linked to the domain peekbank-shiny.com
