cloud-config script to setup Rstudio server and Shiny server on Ubuntu 14.04 on Digital Ocean

rstudio-cc.yml

#cloud-config

# In order to access RStudio server via the web interface, you must log on with
# a user account that allows password access. This script does not add that user
# by default. You may either ssh as root into the server and `adduser` as
# normal, or script a user addition here:

# users:
#   - name: # username #
#     lock-passwd: false # allow login with password
#     passwd: # hashed password #

# Add apt mirror to get the latest version of R necessary for Shiny
