There is now a tutorial (written by me) on DigitalOcean about how to set up Shiny Server https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-shiny-server-on-ubuntu-14-04

To install the stable version from CRAN, simply run the following from an R console: install.packages(“shiny”)

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to set up a Shiny Server on a droplet that can load and modify a DigitalOcean-hosted Database? The most likely scenario, in my case, is to set up a PostgreSQL-database and (if possible) manage it with the RPostgreSQL-package
