Please help troubleshooting.

Getting an error while running the app in shiny proxy:

Error

Status code: 500

Message: Container failed to start

Stack Trace:

In the terminal it looks like this:

  • Firewall is disabled
    $ sudo ufw status
    Status: inactive

  • I can run demo apps without issues with shinyProxy

  • I can also run the app locally with
    $ sudo docker run -p 3838:3838 battery-plotter R -e "shiny::runApp('/root/app')"
    (no errors and Listening on http://0.0.0.0:3838 at the end)

Please help

Solved by adding permissions to docker.sock file
$ sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
