Description

Hi, I'm trying to run a shinylive app from inside a Docker image but the app doesn't go beyond the honeycomb loading screen. I'm a bit out of my depth here so not sure where the problem lies.

To create the Docker image I followed these instructions (at the bottom). I also tried alternative webservers (nginx, busybox) but that didn't work either. There are no errors in the logging that can help.

I'd appreciate any suggestions or fixes I could try.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue using the linked containerizing instructions and the Docker image setup described in the report. Compare behavior with the attempted nginx and busybox servers, and inspect browser or container diagnostics since the issue reports no useful log errors. Done means the Shinylive app gets past the honeycomb loading screen when served from Docker.
