I guess that the middleware developers will fix it within a few days, as they also provide commercial services with it.

OK. I will create a sorry site. -- Written by Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel on his 21418th day.

Thanks.

I have trouble getting this to work. It's on siche. Usually sorry sites are for machine problems, when the whole box is off. root@siche /etc/apache2/sites-enabled # cat collec.repec.org.conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName collec.repec.org ServerAlias sorry.collec.repec.org Redirect permanent / https://sorry.collec.repec.org/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName sorry.collec.repec.org ServerAlias collec.repec.org DocumentRoot /home/sorry/sites/collec/public_html <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /home/sorry/sites/collec/public_html> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Require all granted allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/collec_error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.

Are we not using Nginx?

Siche does not run it. Switching would be redoing all the web configs there. You could set up your own sorry message on helos. -- Written by Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel on his 21418th day.

I have played around a bit. Running the middleware directly on the host, not in a container, results in the same problem. Alternatively, installing it in a Docker container based on a different version of Ubuntu or a different Linux distribution means to install the middleware like on the host an not through its actual Docker image. A key purpose of the middleware is to spin up a Docker container per user visiting the site. An installation inside e.g. a Debian container does not correctly set up the middleware to spin up containers from inside the other container. The developers have announced to fix the issue in the middleware with the next update. So, I am postponing the issue until then. Feel free to fix the issue and submit a pull request at https://github.com/openanalytics/shinyproxy. I am not an expert in that domain and also do not feel like learning Java just to fix their software. CollEc requires a re-write. A main argument for building CollEc as an R shiny app was that this allows me to use the igraph-C-Library through its R-Wrapper-Package in app sessions. And of course, I was well versed in R. Most of my current research has moved away from igraph. For performance reasons and bugs in igraph, I, nowadays, write my graph-theoretical applications tailored to my use cases directly in C++, without a graph library. Building a new CollEc in Svelte with graph theory done in a custom C++ script, could be a suitable next CollEc implementation. However, that is not a priority for me now. Sorry. I am working quasi all of my waking hours, seven days a week. I am really tired. I am behind on research and teaching, have an upcoming referee report deadline this week, and need to prepare for another fly-out next week. So, the middleware developers announcing an update fixing the bug makes the CollEc outage a low priority for me at this point.
