ShinyCOPASI allows COPASI models to be explored through a web browser. It runs on a web server and is built using the R package Shiny. It also uses the R package CoRC, which provides a high-level API for COPASI in the R language. The application is available at: http://shiny.copasi.org/.

COPASI is a simulator for biochemical networks. It is a joint project by the Hoops group (Biocomplexity Institute of Virginia Tech), the Mendes group (UCONN School of Medicine), the Kummer, and Sahle groups (University of Heidelberg).

One way to use/try this web application is to run the Docker image (based on rocker/shiny) from the Docker package, which is (currently) automatically rebuilt on every push to the master branch. Assuming you have Docker installed, and the docker daemon running . . .

sudo docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 ghcr.io/copasi/shiny-copasi

Once all the image layers have downloaded, and the server starts, you should then be able to use the web app from your browser, e.g. at 'localhost:3838'. The '--rm' above will remove the container, once the server is stopped (e.g. with 'Ctrl-C'), thus removing any state saved in the writable overlay layer on top of the base image.
