# Shiny server + Auth0 using Docker-Compose
> Deploying a shiny server web application adding an Auth0 authenticating layer with Docker Containers.
The following article gives a in-depth description of the installation and configuration on a single server: [Adding Authentication to Shiny Server in 4 Simple Steps](https://auth0.com/blog/adding-authentication-to-shiny-server/) This article containerizes this solution, it is advised to first read the original Auth0 article, we are following the same steps, with some shortcuts.
The solution contains four different (micro)services, three containerized and one auth0 (freemium) service
1. Nginx - as webserver
2. Shiny-auth0 - as communicating service between Auth0 and Shiny-server
3. Shiny-server - running the shiny application
4. Auth0 - Authentication layer
# Getting Started
## Prerequisites
- A (free) [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) account
- Docker and Docker-Compose installed
## Deploy shiny app with docker-compose
- [1. Configure Nginx](#1-configure-nginx)
- [2. Set up Auth0 and shiny-auth0](#2-set-up-auth0-and-shiny-auth0)
- [(optional) Add your own shiny app](#optional-deploy-your-custom-app)
- [3. Docker-Compose Up](#3-docker-compose-up)
### 1. Configure Nginx
Check the Auth0 article for more information: [Get Nginx Up and Running](https://auth0.com/blog/adding-authentication-to-shiny-server/#Step-2--Get-Nginx-Up-and-Running)
##### Create SSL certificates
Put your SSL-certificates in the Nginx/SSL folder, or create self-signed certificates for testing or development.
##### Adjust Nginx configuration
If not running local, adjust the nginx.conf file by replacing the '127.0.0.1' 3 times with your own domain name or ip address. The main difference between this configuraton file and the one in Auth0's article is in the location block: we do not forward traffic to localhost but to our shiny-auth0 service.
> Please note that this nginx configuration is not secure and not suitable for production. Adjust your nginx configuration file using the [Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator](https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/)
### 2. Set up auth0 and shiny-auth0
Read the Auth0 article on [Setting up an Auth0 Account for shiny-auth0](https://auth0.com/blog/adding-authentication-to-shiny-server/#Step-3--Setting-up-an-Auth0-Account-for-shiny-auth0) Change the .env file accordingly, do not change the 'SHINY_HOST' to localhost but use the value 'shiny' to forward traffic to our shiny-server container.
### (optional) add your own shiny app
Put your own custom app in the Shiny-server folder. If you want to add extra R libraries to the container, build your own image by adjusting the [Rocker/shiny](https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/shiny/) Dockerfile. Modify the docker-compose.yml file to use your freshly build image instead of the rocker/shiny default.
### 3. Docker-compose up
To deploy the services, we only have to 'docker-compose up'
``` cmd
docker-compose up
```

# Troubleshooting
I'm still able to access shiny directly over port 3838
Only allow http/https traffic should solve the issue (I'm open for alternative solutions to this problem in this setup)
