CTUcosting

Internal package for costings

library(CTUCosting)
devtools::load_all()

Run the app

run_costing_app()

Docker and app deployment

The app is deployed on CTUs shiny server. The shiny server requires creating a docker container with the app. The docker/Dockerfile file defines the code to create the docker container. This needs to be run on an ubuntu system (the server uses version 20.04, so that is a suitable version to use to build the container on. Set up a virtual machine with it). In order to make the container, copy the Dockerfile to (a possibly shared folder on) the VM.

In the ubuntu VM, start a terminal from the folder containing the dockerfile, and build the container via sudo docker build -t ctucosting. Test it via sudo docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 ctucosting and open the app in a guest OS browser by going to localhost:3838.

Create the docker image to be transferred to the shiny server via sudo docker image save ctucosting | gzip > ctucosting-vx.y.z.tar.gz.

Transfer the image to the shiny server via scp ctucosting-vx.y.z.tar.gz [email protected]:/home/shiny (you need to have a log in to the server for this).
