Can it run on Glitch? That’s the question I ask myself every time I see someone mention a cool open source software project. A month or so I saw so...

This sounds very interesting. Can glitch run docker containers? I have a few that essentially enable a shiny server hosting multiple ‘Shiny’ apps. Shiny is R’s package for building interactive web apps. shiny.rstudio.com/

Thanks! I haven't been able to get docker containers to run within Glitch because it typically requires "sudo" level permissions but I have converted docker machines into Glitch projects. I should write a post on that. Shiny looks really cool! I'm gonna check it out.

Hi. I'm looking to use a docker image on Glitch. Could you elaborate on this subject? I have a thing i want to do on glitch, but i want to use an api that only works as a docker image (this). I thank in advance!

Converting to a glitch app would be interesting. Regarding shiny : The Dockerfiles I have been building are at
github.com/shrysr/sr-ds-docker.

You could also directly use the v2 tag for the dockerhub image shrysr/shiny

This is so cool. I had a Gitea Binary installed on my PC but this is 🤩. Thank you so much for this

does glitch have unlimited disk space do you really want us putting our repos on glitch ?

Glitch offers 200mb per project, so yes, that would be a limitation. My aim for Gogs was just to have a non-Github place to put small projects and to just try it out and see what it was like.

Hello,
I wanted to remix this app but I couldn't as it has been suspended. Can you tell me what changes did you make to glitch.json to get it working?
