runApp(app) hosted in subdirectory

I'm not seeing any method, so I'm asking to find out if it's possible...

when hosting Shiny interactively (RStudio, R, etc) the default listener uses the root path from localhost with a random port... I can force the listener to use a specific IP and port, but the only place I see subdirectories (in the URL) is in context of hosted solutions such as Posit Connect.

is there any way to host Shiny as a subfolder rather than the root of the website?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

appreciate the info; I'd seen the router before.

it seems that the router will force all subdirectories to load into the same "shinyApp"... in my case I want to allow multiple apps, to coexist side-by-side, running in completely separate processes.

so i'm not sure the router is quite what i'm looking for.

You can run them in different processes e.g. via callr::r_bg.

Furthermore, you might want to check shinyApp()'s uiPattern parameter.
