Connect Gallery

Only publishers and administrators can view and publish from the Connect Gallery.

For more information on how publishers use the Gallery, see the Publishing with the Connect Gallery section of the User Guide.

Gallery feeds

By default, the Connect Gallery shows one feed published by Posit:

• Posit Connect Gallery: official extensions and examples for Connect, from connect-extensions.

Administrators can add one or more GalleryFeed sections to the configuration file to use their own feeds:

/etc/rstudio-connect/rstudio-connect.gcfg

[GalleryFeed "internal"]
URL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your-org/your-feed/main/extensions.json"
Name = "Internal Extensions and Examples"
Description = "Extensions and examples maintained by our team"
Repo = "https://github.com/your-org/your-feed"

Note that adding a GalleryFeed section replaces the default feed published by Posit: the Gallery then shows only the configured feeds, not the built-in one. To keep the default, an administrator must add it back explicitly alongside the custom feeds:

/etc/rstudio-connect/rstudio-connect.gcfg

[GalleryFeed "default"]
URL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/posit-dev/connect-extensions/refs/heads/main/extensions.json"
Name = "Posit Connect Gallery"
Description = "Official extensions and examples for Connect"
Repo = "https://github.com/posit-dev/connect-extensions"

Air-gapped environments

If your Posit Connect server is running in an air-gapped environment, it will not be able to access the Connect Gallery’s content. In this case, it is recommended to disable the feature by setting the Server.GalleryEnabled configuration option to false.

This will prevent the Connect Gallery from making outbound requests, instead showing links to the open source repositories.
