In ColinFay/backyard: A Web App for Easier Bookdown Collaboration

Deploy

The best way to collaborate with this is to deploy this app on a server.

Here a minimalist Docker file that can launch a {backyard} backend:

FROM rocker/tidyverse

MAINTAINER Colin FAY "[e-mail]"

RUN R -e "install.packages('remotes', repos = 'https://cran.rstudio.com/')"
RUN R -e "remotes::install_github('ColinFay/backyard')"

# Create a folder just for bookdowns
RUN mkdir /usr/home/bookdown

EXPOSE 2811

CMD R -e "backyard::run_book(host = '0.0.0.0', home = '/usr/home/bookdown')"

If you only wants to share one bookdown (assuming the boookdown is in the same dir as the Dockerfile):

FROM rocker/tidyverse

MAINTAINER Colin FAY "[e-mail]"

RUN R -e "install.packages('remotes', repos = 'https://cran.rstudio.com/')"
RUN R -e "remotes::install_github('ColinFay/backyard')"

RUN mkdir /usr/local/bookdown

COPY bookdown /usr/bookdown/bookdown

EXPOSE 2811

CMD R -e "backyard:: run_book(indexrmd = '/usr/bookdown/bookdown/index/Rmd',host = '0.0.0.0')"

Notes on Docker 

• By default, {backyard} is deployed on port 2811. It can be changed in backyard::run_book.

• If you launch the app in a Docker container, be sure to use host = '0.0.0.0'
