SHINYPRIXY_USERNAME is not passed when using minimum-seats-available
In order to shorten the startup time of my shiny apps, I have activated minimum-seats-available. I realized that the allocated pod does not contain the ENV variable (SHINYPROXY_USERNAME). More details:
- shinyproxy version 3.1.1
- container backend: k8s cluster
- Authentication: OpenId (keycloak)
Following version 3.1.0, I had this same issue.
I figured out how to extract the USERID and the USERGROUP from this and other resources: https://support.openanalytics.eu/t/passing-username-and-groups-as-http-headers-in-3-1-0/2747/2
Today, I extract the USERID in our application with
shinyproxy_user_id <- session$request$HTTP_X_SP_USERID
Hope this helps
It is indeed specific to the pre-initialized containers, as documented in https://www.shinyproxy.io/documentation/configuration/#container-pre-initialization-and-sharing (see "Before using this feature, make sure to understand the following...")
Hi, I believe this question is answered. Therefore, I'm going to close the issue. Feel free to open a new issue if you still experience a problem.
