[arunge]

@isomemo We want to modify/adjust 7 exiting R apps so that they include the Pandora data import module (feeding data into the data), Save/Load model option, Docker installation, and online run.

Please, let me know which apps exactly should be modified by listing the links to the respective repositories!

• CausalR
  • Pandora data import module
  • Save/Load model option
  • Docker installation

Pandora-IsoMemo/BNR#1 (comment)

The BNR application is now live and can be accessed at the following URL: https://pandoraapp.earth/app/bnr-test.

The implementation of the BNR application into shiny-proxy was straightforward thanks to its well-structured setup, which included a comprehensive renv file and a Dockerfile.

However, integrating CausalR might present more of a challenge. The repository for CausalR lacks both an renv file and the structure of an R package. Additionally, the current Dockerfile appears to be misaligned with our deployment strategies and is currently non-functional, requiring significant refinements to achieve integration into a working shiny app on shiny-proxy.

@jan-abel-inwt Regarding CausalR: I created a new branch beta in CausalR containing

• a clean R package structure to run a shiny app
• the scripts that are needed to run CausalR
• a Dockerfile

Could you please check the beta branch and let me know if something is missing or if we can try to get the app running on shinyproxy?

[jan-abel-inwt]

The version of the beta branch of CausalR can be found here https://isomemoapp.com/app/causalr-beta

@jan-abel-inwt I opened a PR for Jian where he can check the refactoring of his shiny app into a package. If he finishes testing and approves, we can merge and setup an online version for the main branch and after that link CausalR to the landing page.

I opened an issue regarding the online version of BNR and asked the developer if BNR is ready for the landing page https://isomemoapp.com/.

Update: We have green light to go on:

You can release the current version of the app ...

@jan-abel-inwt Please add the link for BNR to the landing page.

I've added BNR to the landing page at https://pandoraapp.earth/ and transferred the open tasks to their respective repositories.
