Because received a good interest, last month I override shinyapps.io. That got me move my Shiny App on an Amazon AWS instance.

All this pain is removed by ramazon, an R package that I developed to take care of everything is needed to deploy a shiny app on an AWS instance. An early disclaimer for Windows users: only Apple OS X is supported at the moment. Using ramazon As one would expect, using ramazon is a very pleasant experience, given that you just have to run a function, ramazon, passing to it the EC2 instance publicDNS and the name of the key pair file downloaded from amazon AWS.

Two questions: 1) does your shiny app read any external file? This kind of error message is usually related to R being unable to read some csv or similar external source. 2) does your shiny app rely on packages different from shiny? The current version of Ramazon installs on the server only this package. I’m almost done with a new release where all required packaged are automatically detected and installed. You can find it on GitHub, develop branch. Thank you again and let me know 😀.

$scp -i /Desktop/amazon.pem /Desktop/MS115.fa ubuntu@ec2-54-166-128-20.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/data/ This command will upload a file - MS115.fa in your /Desktop/ folder of your laptop to folder /data/ on an Amazon instance. Note you still need to use the private key you used to connect to the Amazon instance with ssh. (In this example, it is the amazon.pem file in /Desktop/.

It is free, it supports Windows/Linux/Mac systems, and it has a good user interface. It supports FTP, SFTP and other file transfer protocols. Firstly, go to ‘‘ and click “Download FileZilla Client” button to download it. The interface of FileZilla is like this: If you want to use FileZila to upload to or download data from a normal FTP server if you have the user and password, just put the information in the “Host”, “Username”, “Password” box and connect. However for Amazon instance, we use key-pair to log in instead of password for better safety. So it is a little bit more complicated to configure.

Open “Settings” and click “SFTP”: Click “Add keyfile.”: Then select the ”.pem” file you used to connect to Amazon instance with ssh. There is a dialog box to ask you if you want to convert the ”.pem” file into a supported format. Name it with extension as ”.ppk” and save it. You will see the a private key has been added. Close “Settings” and go back to the main interface.

Click button to open the site manager. Click “New Site”. Put the Amazon instance URL like ec2-54-166-128-20.compute-1.amazonaws.com in the “Host” box. Set “Protocol” as “SFTP”, “Logon Type” as “Normal”, “User” as “ubuntu” and leave “Password” as blank.

Then click “Connect”. There will be a dialogue box to ask you about “Unknown host key”, just click “Ok”. Now you have logged in the Amazon instance.
