can we support export()-ing to a remote orca server?

It looks like the orca_serve() function starts up a server and returns a method that I can use to export a graph to the server.

What if I already have a server running on another machine? I would like to be able to export a graph to that already running server without starting a new server.

The reason I ask for this feature: I want to export my graph inside of a Shiny app that is deployed in a containerized environment. Both my app and orca have really big dependency trees and I have spent a lot of time (so far unsuccessfully) trying to build a Docker image that can support both my app and orca.

If this feature existed, I would not need to create a new docker image. I could use the off-the-shelf orca container. I could use docker-compose to start up both my app and the orca server, and then in my app I could submit to the running orca server.

Is this something you would be interested in supporting? I imagine orca_serve() with a couple extra arguments, like hostname="localhost", start_server=TRUE which I could override to point to an already-running server on another host.

Commencez par la fonction orca_serve() et la méthode d’exportation qu’elle renvoie, puis suivez la manière dont le serveur actuel est démarré et contacté. Définissez la modification autour de l’exportation de graphes vers un serveur Orca distant déjà en cours d’exécution, sans démarrer un autre serveur, y compris le cas d’utilisation avec Shiny et Docker Compose décrit ici.
