This app should be able to function fully offline so it can be used onboard research cruises with no wifi signal.
Currently the app will work in RStudio without a wifi connection but ideally it would be containerized so that the end user does not have to navigate R/RStudio and associated downloads.

I have looked into using a few different solutions

Docker

  • high time investment to set up
  • would present more complex troubleshooting
  • would allow isolated and contained use

DMapps

  • internal DFO shiny server
  • requires internet connection

Electron

  • would allow one click desktop app access
  • not able to compile packages - would only be able to access vprr CRAN version

None of these are the perfect solution, for now I think we should attempt to leave the app in RStudio and see if it is accessible enough to the end user.
