Publish Rstudio Shiny App in intranet

I am trying to build a Rstudio/Shiny App and post it in our intranet so that everyone else in our office could see it. I am a windows guy, and the instructions online about how to setup a shiny server within Linux environment is a bit difficult for me. Is there an easy way that I can could accomplish this goal without messing up with Linux. Even if I have to do so, is there an easy way to just have my webpage available to people within our company, not everyone on the internet. Thanks!

I am sharing apps using the following:

If your ui and server are in the same R file: runApp(list(ui=ui, server=server), host="0.0.0.0", port=1234)

If you have an ui.R and a server.R files in the "shinyapp" folder: runApp("C:/shinyapp", host="0.0.0.0", port=1234)

After, I send my IP (you can get your IP from the terminal using ipconfig) followed by the port that I set up as an hyperlink. Assuming that my IP is 192.168.178.10, I will send:

http://192.168.178.10:1234

RStudio also has a hosted Shiny option that is currently in Alpha. You can sign up here https://www.shinyapps.io/admin/#/signup

With hosted Shiny the intention is to let developers focus on building applications while RStudio will worry about managing servers, monitoring performance, and ensuring uptime.

you don't need shiny server for this, you just need to run an R instance with shiny

http://rstudio.github.io/shiny/tutorial/#ui-and-server

http://shiny.rstudio.com/

shiny automatically runs it at local host... you need to change it to your own ip if you want your colleges be able to access it..

ip="192.168.178.10" # change this!
runApp("../microplate",host=ip) # change microplate to the name of your shiny package/app
