Digitalocean app platform deployment

Hi all!

Does anyone have suggestions/tips about the Digitalocean app platform? (https://www.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/).

As far as I understand, this is run with Kubernetes in the background. Therefore, I was wondering if I can use shinyproxy there, and if so, what would be the most adequate config.

Thanks in advance! Felipe

Sweet! Thanks a lot for the detailed info! I can confirm that this is working now.

Thank you!

Hi @fmmattioni

I forgot to mention that, since our image is using a non-root user, it doesn’t have access to the docker socket by default. You’ll have to run the ShinyProxy docker image using the following command:

docker run  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro --group-add $(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3) -p 8080:8080 openanalytics/shinyproxy

The $(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3) part determines the group-id of docker. The --group-add parameter ensures that the user running inside the ShinyProxy docker container is part of that group (i.e. the docker group) and as a result the ShinyProxy docker container has access to the docker socket.

Also please make sure you don’t have set the proxy.docker.url attribute. Only if you don’t provide it, ShinyProxy will access the docker socket and not some docker HTTP port.

Good luck!
