================

### Docker Ubuntu Server Installation/Set-up

1.  Docker CE for Ubuntu installation:

    

2.  Follow post-installation instructions:

    

    1.  configuring the daemon.json file will not work with Ubuntu 16.04

        (and above), instead add the following to the systemd unit file:

        `ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// -H tcp://127.0.0.1:275 -H

        unix:///var/run/docker.sock`

3.  Install docker-compose 

    (optional):

    sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0-rc1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

    sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

### Docker App Deployment

1.  Build Shiny App Docker image:

    1.  Change current directory to project folder `cd ...`

    2.  `docker build -t telethonkids/new_shiny_app .//webapp`

2.  Start Docker containers

    3.  `docker-compose up -d`

3.  App is ready on port 80: in browser, go to 192.168.99.100 (windows)

    or 127.17.0.1 (Ubuntu)

### HTTPS encryption

[These instructions](https://medium.com/@pentacent/nginx-and-lets-encrypt-with-docker-in-less-than-5-minutes-b4b8a60d3a71)

were used to set up a secure HTTPS connection with Certbot SSL certificates.

Also see [here](https://github.com/wmnnd/nginx-certbot).

This will not work out of the box, the NGINX configuration file will need to be

updated with your domain name (which is required) at the indicated places in

`nginx.conf`. `init-letsencrypt.sh` also needs to be configured with your domain

names(s) and email address.

The following commands will need to be run on the host machine in order to obtain

the first valid certificates: first run `chmod +x init-letsencrypt.sh` then

`./init-letsencrypt.sh`.

If HTTPS security is not wanted then you will need to remove the indicated chunks

of code in `nginx.conf`.
