An instance of the OpenFDA dashboard.
The United State Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a public API February 2014. This dashboard's purpose is to help make the FDA's hosted data more accessible to the public.
To set up your own instance of the dashboard:
- Install Docker (e.g. Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install docker.io
)
For more resources on Docker, checkout: https://www.docker.com/tryit/
docker pull statwonk/openfda-dashboard
docker run --rm -p 3838:3838 statwonk/openfda-dashboard
This will download a docker image based on Ubuntu, RStudio's shiny-server, and finish up by downloading and launching the dashboard hosted in this repository.
