Quarto Shiny Dynamic Container - how to publish developed document

[gmouawad]

Hello

We have installed on a container the quarto dynamic container.
if I have a quarto document developed, how I can publish it on that container?

if there is another way to publish critical documents/reports internally (on premises) please advice

Thanks in advance

It's not very clear to me what's your setup ...
What is "container", a Docker container? Something else?
And what's a "quarto dynamic container"?
What do you mean by "publish"? Make them available in a web service of sort?
What type of "documents/reports"? HTML? PDF? Word? PowerPoint?

If "documents/reports" are HTML and if by "publish" you mean make the rendered documents available on a web server which is a "container", then simply scp/cp/sftp/etc. them to where your web server is (no matter what is it).

If you want a more accurate/detailed answer, please elaborate on your needs and your setup.

Hello @mcanouil ,

yes docker container
dynamic quarto: https://hosting.analythium.io/how-to-set-up-quarto-with-docker-part-2-dynamic-content/
yes publish the document as a webpage on premises
of course HTML. pdf output can be rendered locally

So in short terms, I am developing a quarto document HTML, that reads data using python and deliver analysis information.
I need to have this page to be available for a group of people to access it and refresh it with live data.

This is my needs, I am looking on how to accomplish that.

Thanks and sorry for the lack of info provided in my initial description

If you are using shiny (R) then you need to have a shiny server running.
Note that a shiny server is also a web server which can host static HTML or shiny documents (Quarto or RMarkdown, or regular shiny app).

What you have to do is:

1. setup and run a container which has: R, shiny, Quarto, and all tools/packages needed.
2. Then either:
   • mount a shared volume to the container where you can add your documents.
   • SCP/SFTP your documents to inside the container.

But all this is quite independent of Quarto CLI.
It is mostly IT stuff regarding Docker and how to host Shiny app/documents.

Indeed (beside Quarto install).
