Using images from local folder in Shiny app?

[awdursun]

I would like to use images stored in a local project folder in for a Shiny app.  Outside of DSS, I can store images in a 'www' folder and call upon them within the app, as outlined in this stackoverflow link:  Embedding Image in Shiny App 

Let's say I have images stored in a local folder called "images".  Is there a way I can deploy an app that accesses the images in the local folder and displays them?  If not, what would be the recommended workaround?

Hi @awdursun ,

To use the img(src='...', align = "right"), you can either:
1) host the image on your end.
2) Add images toto the static web resource :

And use the https://DSS-url:port/local/static/path-of-the-image-within-resources.png

Thanks so much for the reply @AlexT !  We are currently not set up to use the static web resource, and hosting the images outside of the project might not be allowed, but I will explore other options.

@AlexT , is it possible to write directly to a static web resource folder within an R notebook?  I would like to save a ggplot output as a .png file, but I only know how to save it to a local folder using dkuManagedFolderUploadPath
