I spoke with Peter about this feature and he is supportive of it.

One idea is to have a field in the metadata.json file that would give the script to run to launch the shiny app. "shinyAppEntryPoint": "launchShinyApp.R"

{
    "analysisName": "Test execution config",
    "analysisType": "CUSTOM",
    "runtimeEnvironmentName": "Darwin Runtime",
    "dockerRuntimeEnvironmentImage": "executionengine.azurecr.io/darwin-base:v0.1", 
    "entryPoint": "main.R",
    "shinyAppEntryPoint": "launchShinyApp.R"
    "studyName": "Test metadata.json"
}

If the shinyAppEntryPoint field is not NULL in the metadata file then there should be a button in the UI that says "Launch Shiny app".

We need think through this feature design though because it require that the results are persisted after the execution and then passed back into the docker image when the shiny apps is launched.

@ablack3 I like the idea.

into the docker image when the shiny apps is launched.
Do you think this Docker image will require custom and special set of pre-installed packages?
