Can prob. start w/ rocker/shiny docker container: https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/shiny/

See Dockerfile started in https://github.com/terraref/traitvis-webapp and notes on use in the repository's README

Currently it starts from rocker/shiny, but ultimately we need what is in rocker/shiny and what is in rocker/geospatial plus the additional dependencies (don't worry too much about bloat unless you notice some extra large dependency that we don't need),

See

• rocker/shiny: https://github.com/rocker-org/shiny/blob/master/Dockerfile

• rocker/geospatial https://github.com/rocker-org/geospatial/blob/master/3.3.1/Dockerfile

• revert to exposing environment variables as in that file

  • you can develop using the ssh tunnel, and the only thing that may need to change for deployment is the betydb host

• add the packages listed in the README
