Timeout waiting for check_container_alive when Deploying Shiny App

[Dorris Scott]

Hello,

I have been trying to deploy my Shiny app to shinyapps.io and I have been getting a timeout error. Here is what is in my console along with my session information. I only found one question similar to this: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206237548-App-upload-timeout-error-for-leaflet. Based on this information, I tried deploying it later on in the day and the following day and it didn't work. If anyone could help me with this matter, it would be much appreciated!

It appears you are attempting to deploy a static site to shinyapps.io, which it turns out we don't support.

[Dorris Scott]

Thanks for the quick reply! I will just try to deploy it on a server using Shiny Server.
