Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice/validation regarding the web infrastructure for our research lab. We are building two things using R-based frameworks: A static lab website built with Quarto. Several dynamic web apps built with Shiny. Like many academic labs, we are on a tight budget. Paid solutions like Posit Cloud/shinyapps.io ($20+/month) are too expensive for our use, and we only want to pay for a custom domain (~$10/year). Here is the architecture we are planning: Host the Quarto static site on GitHub Pages (free) and link it to our root domain (e.g., lab.com). We have a dedicated PC in the university running open-source Shiny Server. The apps are currently running fine, but they are only accessible via the university intranet. University IT is usually unresponsive and won't open ports or configure firewalls for us. We plan to use Cloudflare Tunnels on the local PC.…
