This repository is designed as a template/boilerplate project for building containerised Shiny applications: Docker-compose orchestrates the services. NGINX http-proxy is in charge of redirecting requests. Authentication layer handles users and role permissions. Supporting Python and R Shiny applications. Layer Technology Why It Is Used Container orchestration Docker Compose Runs and connects multiple containers as one local stack Gateway / routing Nginx (nginx:1.27-alpine) Single public entrypoint on localhost's :8000, path-based routing to multiple apps R web app Shiny for R + Plotly Interactive R dashboard sample with table + scatter plot Python web app Shiny for Python + Plotly + Pandas Interactive Python dashboard sample with table + scatter plot Auth and admin FastAPI + Jinja templates Login/logout, session checks, role CRUD, and user-role assignments Persistence PostgreSQL 16 (postgres:16-alpine) Stores users and active sessions Base runtime images rocker/r-ver:4.4.1, python:3.12-slim Stable language runtimes for reproducible local/dev containers This Docker-based stack runs Shiny applications behind a single gateway on port `8000`: R Shiny app at http://localhost:8000/rlang-app Python Shiny app at http://localhost:8000/python-app Auth form at http://localhost:8000/auth/login User admin at http://localhost:8000/admin/users Read more: Official documentation
