I'm trying to put in production my shiny app. I can run my shiny app locally on my Windows machine, from R. However, since we need to use Linux to deploy the app over the web, we decided to use a Linux server for that. We access this Linux server remotely, from our local machines (running Windows).
I followed the instruction at the RStudio website, and successful installed Shine Server on the Linux server. Its's running on it. I don't know what to do next. So, my question is: what should I do next? Please, remember that I access the Linux server remotely (using puty). Also, I have almost no knowledge of Linux.
Any guidance on what to do next is very welcome.
Some info that may be useful:
I use a Ubuntu 12.04.3
I ran as root (I think, but I can use sudo, for sure).
Another person has access to this server besides me.
We use R 3.0.2
you can follow the instructions here:

Short answer:
# this is all one line
sudo wget\
https://raw.github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/master/config/upstart/shiny-server.conf\
-O /etc/init/shiny-server.conf
# Start the server
sudo start shiny-server
Then just open a browser and point to it

So, I've been trying to build a MEAN (MongoDB Express Angular NodeJS) stack server to use for academic teaching purposes, as a student sandbox/training environment. I can install all packages fine, the problems appear when trying to generate a new project inside my Linux box. It always halts towards the end, with an error about "Busy File" or something along those lines, and thus the project is missing crucial files to run with the command 'ng serve'.
Another problem is the sync between host and guest, I am running Windows 10 as host, and using Debian 9 as the guest, and when editing and saving files on the host, NodeJS compiler is not triggering nor synchronizing my changes to the server.
I've tried some Vagrant plugins, such as FS-Notify and WinNFSD, but to no luck. I remember reading something about Nodewatch being the culprit, but I am not sure and I don't have much experience around Angular, Node and Vagrant together.
I've browsed the Github repository Vagrant Plugins, https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/wiki/Available-Vagrant-Plugins, but can't seem to find an appropriate solution to run an isolated MEAN stack Debian with only Vagrant and VirtualBox on a Windows host.
I am using Windows 10 as host, Debian 9 as the guest. Windows host is using Vagrant 2.1.4, and VirtualBox version 5.2.18. (I've tried using Docker, but it requires and consumes too many resources, unfortunately.)
I've noticed that there seem to be quite a few people with similar issues.
I would greatly appreciate any help or input on what to do. Thank you in advance.

Following this article worked just fine for me.
Don’t forget to start a second PowerShell and run
vagrant fsnotify
The only issue I’m currently trying to resolve is tslint going crazy in VS. Code and WebStorm due to the host system not containing node_modules.
I’ll get back here when I find a solution.
I've recently started working with STAF and couldn't get 2 machines to communicate with each other. One of those machines is a Linux ec2-instance on AWS and can't be pinged.
I was planning on pinging STAF from one virtual machine to another to see if the company firewall could be the cause of this but I can't seem to use commands on linux (like "staf local ping ping" on windows for example). When I try to run STAFProc with gdb (in /usr/local/staf/bin) I get the following error.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc
/bin/bash: /usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc: No such file or directory
(The STAFProc file is there though. Does gdb work from another directory?)
I'm not exactly experienced with STAF, AWS or even Linux so any help to get me started with debugging would be greatly appreciated.
Though it is a bit long since the question is asked and the op seem to figure it out already, I might still post my solution as well.
There is a possibility that it is caused by trying to open a 32bit binary on a 64bit device.
If you are working on Debian based os, try
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
I installed artifactory on linux server. I want to know how to check whether it is properly installed.
Secondly, I want to use it's user interface on google chrome. From where I can get SERVER_DOMAIN and PORT number for it's url from installed files on server?
Thanks in advance.
Your question is a bit vague.
How did you installed it (ZIP, RPM, Docker, Deb...)?
Which database you used (default, Oracle, MySQL etc..)? You can see if the server is up and running by running the following REST API from the machine you have installed it on:
curl -iuadmin:password localhost:8081/artifactory/api/system/ping
Regarding the IP, this can be checked by running 'ifconfig' on the linux server and get the IP of that machine.
Artifactory by default is running on port 8081, unless you changed it.
It seems that you will need to follow the basic installation wiki:

The problem
While searching for ways to deploy shiny apps I stumbled across ShinyProxy. From what I understand it's an alternative for ShinyServer. However, I lack some (very basic) knowledge to follow the guide provided.
The questions
Can ShinyProxy be installed just on any bought/rented server? Do I need to preinstall some other software?
Where do I type in the commands provided in the ShinyProxy guide?
Does Docker need to be installed on the server or is it a tool to deploy to the server and is thus installed locally?
The ShinyProxy guide misses a point about installing ShinyProxy. Why? Is it not installed (or is installation so obvious)?
I couldn't actually find instructions on how to run a shiny app with ShinyProxy.
The authors of ShinyProxy can probably provide a much better answer, but here is my understanding:
Your server needs to support Java 8 and Docker (or you can install Java 8 and Docker on your server).
Assuming you logon to your server via SSH, the commands will be typed in the SSH terminal.
Yes Docker needs to be installed on the server
It appears that ShinyProxy does not need to be installed. You just need to download it (the shinyproxy-0.5.0.jar file) to a location on the server, and then run java -jar shinyproxy-0.5.0.jar (in your SSH terminal)
To run a Shiny app, you need to package it as an R package first, then build a Docker image for the R package. The app is then actually running inside a Docker container. You also need a configuration file to tell ShinyProxy where to look for your Docker image. Example is here https://github.com/openanalytics/shinyproxy-demo
I recently opened up a webserver in Amazon EC2. I managed to log in to the server using SSH with my mac. I also managed to install the EC2 API tool provided from Amazon. I have the XAMPP installation on my desktop. And I opened up a linux instance. I don't think I have a EBS(Elastic Block Store) mounted to the instance yet, I don't know how to do that. But How do copy the XAMPP installation file from my desktop to the server instance? Pls give me step-by-step instructions
I manage to solve my own question. I was using the scp protocol to transfer the XAMPP installation file. More info on this link: Secure Remote Logins and File Copying. This is the first time I used it, but you just type the command: scp -i ***.pem ec2-user#some_public_DNS /The/file/on/your/desktop. The file will then be transfer in a secure way to the remote server
I'm curious as to why you'd try to put XAMPP on an EC2 instance instead of simply using your system's package management system (e.g., yum, apt-get) to install what you need. This just seems like trying to hammer nails with the back of a screwdriver.
