Connect Cloud is a new platform for you to easily publish data applications and documents from GitHub repositories. Anyone with a GitHub account can sign up at https://connect.posit.cloud

We are in an early Alpha stage that supports turning code in public repositories into a publicly shareable URL. Content is currently limited to:

  • Shiny for Python
  • Streamlit
  • Dash
  • Bokeh
  • Quarto (Python)
  • Jupyter Notebooks

More functionality - including R support - will be rolled out in the coming months.We’re grateful to the community for helping us test this early iteration. Please leave questions and feedback on this forum.

I have deployed my first Shiny app on Connect Cloud. Can I embed Connect Cloud (e.g. in an iframe)?

(Side note if I can suggest a feature: please allow for deploying private repos)

Hi Niccolo,

You can embed in an iframe, although it is a bit hacky at the moment. You must find the url that is used within the iframe on the existing page.

So if your output is Posit Connect Cloud, you need to pass this url into the iframe: https://0191a3bb-a4f7-69b1-92d5-bd0c7502fde7.app.connect.posit.cloud/

This works for applications. For docs, it would be uuid.publish.connect.posit.cloud.

Please note, however, that this will change in the coming months! We will soon default all apps and docs to a fullscreen view and change that underlying url a bit.

I'll circle back here when that change is made, but it will likely break the hack noted above.

Also, yes, private repo support is coming in the next few months!

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Great to hear that these features will be rolled out soon.

In the meantime, I tried your embed link on this iframe tester, but it doesn't seem to work: https://iframetester.com/

I tried also my UID with the same result. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. No problem at all if it is not possible to embed Connect Cloud links at the moment.

Best wishes

Thanks for checking in. The url mentioned a few weeks back has changed as we prepare for the iframeless, full-screen view. It would now be https://0191a3bb-a4f7-69b1-92d5-bd0c7502fde7.share.connect.posit.cloud/ [notice .app. changed to .share.].

Dropping that in https://iframetester.com/ seems to work just fine.

Ok yes, that works. Thanks for the clarification!
