Run shiny app outside of Rstudio

So I was being clever I thought and I created a cool shiny app. But the app reads from local files and so I can't deploy it on shinyapps.io. I can of course run it in RStudio but then I can't do anything else with RStudio while it is running! I'm wondering what my options are.

Some options:

  • Host the shiny app and the data somewhere you control (i.e. your own server with shiny-server installed);
  • Host the shiny app on shinyapps.io and host the data somewhere you control (Dropbox, AWS S3, your own file server) - have the app read from there;
  • Have the shiny app (hosted wherever) go and collect the data itself - whatever you're doing to the data then storing it locally, have the app do that.
