Connect Gallery

Posit manages the Connect Gallery, a curated collection of apps, reports, and dashboards that publishers can add to Posit Connect with one click.

The Connect Gallery includes:

• Simple working examples that use common data science frameworks to illustrate the types of apps, dashboards, and reports that are publishable on Posit Connect
• More complex extensions that utilize the Posit Connect APIs to extend the functionality of Connect

Posit Connect detects updates to the Gallery automatically. As items are added or updated, they become available on your Connect server without requiring an upgrade.

Open source

Posit manages the content, which is open source. The source code can be found in the posit-dev/connect-extensions GitHub repository.

Despite being hosted on GitHub, the Gallery items are not published as Git-backed content - they do not update automatically with changes to the repository.

Content requirements

Since Gallery items aren’t bundled with Posit Connect, each one specifies its own requirements. These include:

• a minimum Posit Connect version (based on the features and APIs the Gallery item uses)
• language version requirements (based on the language features and dependencies the Gallery item uses)
• Posit product tier requirements (based on capabilities the Gallery item uses)

If your Connect server is compatible with the requirements, you can use the Add button to publish the item as a piece of content.

If your Connect server is not compatible with the requirements, click on the How to Upgrade button. Clicking it opens a dialog with information about the unmet requirements and how to upgrade based on your role (administrator vs. publisher).
