This repo contains the source for the RShiny dashboard used by the Conscious Language project. You can view the dashboard itself at https://stats.eng.ansible.com/apps/ConsciousLanguage
Short version: There is an Ansible playbook for the necessary dependencies, run that first
ansible-playbook playbook.yml
(This was written for a Debian host, but essentially it installs some dependencies, and sets up LighTTPD to run the API)
In the root of the project, use Renv to get the deps:
Rscript -e 'renv::restore()'
The dashboard loads data from the backend so set that up first. Once the API and LighTTPD setup is ready, you can set this up
There are two calls to the backend, one in global.R, the other in server.R.
Both reference dev.stats.eng.ansible.com which is not in public DNS (the
dashboard has this host in /etc/hosts) so you can either set that name
yourself (in hosts) or change the source to point elsewhere.
This is a Shiny app, so to run it you will either need to:
- Run it locally in R (or RStudio)
- clone the project ; cd to it
- open it in R
- call 'shiny::runApp()'
- Host it on a Shiny server
- This could be a Shiny Server, a Docker + ShinyProxy setup, RSConnect, or a hosted option like
shinyapps.io - Setting up these options is beyond the scope of this README
