Shiny server is the same as NGNX?












0















We were doing some research on the configuration of Shiny server then we noticed that the config syntax is virtually the same as Nginx? Does anyone have a confirmation on this? If that is true we plan a different stack system architecture.

          just had a bit of a poke in their github repository and it looks to be pretty custom code and they're just reusing the syntax/variable naming of Nginx.



          config parsing seems to be done in lib/router/config-router.js where you can find references to things like 'log_dir'



          I'd therefore probably put some sort of proxy between it and the internet (if that's your plan)
