plumber.control

The goal of plumber.control is to control all of your R plumber (actually any http based) services in one place.

Shiny app

Deployment of shiny app

Lightweight version of shiny application based on R-minimal Docker image with simple and secure Caddy server

You just need to clone the repo, build the docker, install system variables $HOST and $EMAIL, and run: docker-compose up -d

And that’s it! 🏆

Package

Installation of package

Development version

remotes::install_github("vanhry/plumber.control")

library(plumber.control)

If you want to use this library you must create yaml file of your plumber services

# http://localhost:7055/health
plumber_local:
  host: localhost
  port: 7055
  path:
  method_plumber: health
  scheme: http
  is_shiny_app: false

# http://localhost/paysystem/healthcheck
plumber_paysystem:
  host: localhost
  port:
  path: paysystem
  method_plumber: healthcheck
  scheme: http
  is_shiny_app: false

shinyserver:
  host: shiny.john-coene.com
  port:
  path:
  method_plumber: ""
  scheme: https
  is_shiny_app: true

one_app_shinyserver:
  host: vanhryshinyserver.xyz
  port:
  path:
  method_plumber: ""
  scheme: https
  is_shiny_app: true

Add to your plumber.R file /healthcheck method

#' @get /healthcheck
function(res) {
  res$status <- 200
  res$body <- "Healthy"
  res
}

You can use create_table_plumber("path/to/file") to receive the table of all services

data <- create_table_plumber(system.file("plumber_services.yaml",package="plumber.control"))
data
#>                Service Status                                    URL result is_shiny_app
#> 2        plumber_local    404           http://localhost:7055/health  FALSE        FALSE
#> 21   plumber_paysystem    404 http://localhost/paysystem/healthcheck  FALSE        FALSE
#> 3          shinyserver    200          https://shiny.john-coene.com/   TRUE         TRUE
#> 4  one_app_shinyserver    200         https://vanhryshinyserver.xyz/   TRUE         TRUE

Also it’s possible to use shiny application with:

plumber.control::run_app()

If click on Details for shiny server, it will open the modal with each service
