Hands-on materials for deploying a DataSHIELD node, delivered at the DataSHIELD Conference 2025.
DataSHIELD lets researchers analyse data across institutions without the raw records ever leaving the institution that holds them. This workshop covers the infrastructure side: getting a node up locally, then getting it safely onto the network.
- Local deployment — standing up Opal and Armadillo on your own machine, and how the two differ
- Going live — what changes when the node leaves localhost
- Profiles — adding analysis profiles to a running node
- Rock servers — creating and wiring up the R execution backend
