Create a local Shiny Server for R

shinyvm's Issues

`Shared folders

Hi Nikhil,

I have a local D: drive syncing to onedrive where my ShinyVM folder resides. vagrant does mount the shared folders in the VM and I cannot seem to find where the issue is. Best regards, Fede.

Can't get R packages to install in the install

How can I get the disk space I need to install new packages? quite frustrating

Error during installation with fab script

Thanks for the useful guide. I'm having some trouble with the installation and was hoping you might have some insight. I get up to the fab section without incident, and then encounter the following error:

Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Error after fab vagrant setup_vagrant

Hi,

Thank you for the thorough instructions and the guidelines.
However, I'm facing a problem with installing shinyVM.

After I did fab vagrant setup_vagrant, I got an error with the following message.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me troubleshoot.

Best,

Dependency updates?

This seems like a fantastic kit that I'd really like to use.

Another issue pointed out that the VM runs Ubuntu from 2014, which isn't supported any longer. This gives me concern that R packages needed for a shiny app and shiny server will not be installable and/or functional within the Ubuntu environment.

I dug into the other dependencies and their dependencies, all of which have been upgraded over the years to the point where it seems likely shinyVM can't function on a modern system.

I don't know if any of that is the case, but I'm wary to try making it work and install all of the necessary tools. Is there any confirmation that shinyVM can function out of the box in 2023 with CentOS 7? Moreover, I don't know enough about R packages to say if shiny-server, shiny, R 4.1.2, flextable, etc. can be installed in Ubuntu 2014 in 2023.

Thoughts?

Upgrade Trusty -> Focal

Ubuntu Trusty is a system from 2014 which is no longer maintained. Would it be possible to update to a current version?

ValueError during the "fab vagrant setup_vagrant" step

Hi there @nsh87,

Thanks for the guide. I'm coming across an issue with the "fab vagrant setup_vagrant" step. I've followed the guide as precisely as possible and have also uninstalled and reinstalled paramiko and fabric. However, installing the specific version of your paramiko did not successfully install. Some further information:

vagrant -v

python --version
Python 2.7

This is the error message that appears upon running fab vagrant setup_vagrant:

Do you have any advice on how to resolve this error/issues?

Appreciate the help.

Error when running fab vagrant setup_vagrant

Hello, I have installed python (2.7.11), and fabric (1.11.1) succesfully. I have set up the SSH key and was able to run vagrant up successfully, which created the project and writeable-project folders. However, an error occurs when I try to run fab vagrant setup_vagrant. This is my output:

download packages

Hi,
how can download a package like this one: https://github.com/ramnathv/rCharts on my VM ?
