Hello everyone,
We have several Shiny applications, such as cartofriches.cerema.fr (Cartofriches), hosted on shinyapps.io PRO.
Apparently, there will be a migration to Posit soon.
We are concerned that this may cause complications. Do you know if this will have any implications for platform administrators and the IT department (e.g., changes to app URLs or passwords)?
Will there be any actions we need to take on our end? If yes, which ones ?
Hello,
Thanks for the post. We are working to make the migration as automatic as possible and believe at this stage that this will be possible for most users.
In your case, the custom domain may require updating a few DNS records. The benefit will be that those custom domain pages on Connect Cloud will now support HTTPS/SSL for more secure sharing.
The migration will not occur until the end of 2026 and we will release full migration plans and potential implications by July. In the meantime, here are some common questions and responses: shinyapps.io Documentation - Migration
I'd be happy to speak directly with you in late summer (or before if you have other questions). Best,
Alex
