Shiny Server is an open-source server by Posit (formerly RStudio) for hosting R Shiny web applications. It allows data scientists and R developers to deploy interactive dashboards, data visualizations, and web applications built with the R Shiny framework.
Shiny Server makes it easy to host and serve interactive web applications built with R. Developers can deploy their Shiny apps on a Linux server and make them accessible through a web browser without additional configuration. This enables quick sharing of dashboards, reports, and analytical tools.
The server automatically launches a Shiny application when users access its URL. Each application runs in its own R process, helping isolate workloads and maintain stability across multiple apps running on the same server.
Shiny Server can host many applications simultaneously on a single instance. Apps are deployed simply by placing them into designated directories, making it straightforward for teams to organize and manage multiple dashboards or data tools.
The open-source version works well alongside common web infrastructure such as Nginx or Apache reverse proxies. This allows administrators to integrate Shiny apps into existing systems, configure HTTPS, and manage routing within standard server environments.
