Set up Posit Package Manager integration

As a Domino admin, you can configure one or more Posit Package Manager (PPM) servers from the Admin panel. You’ll provide the server’s connection details and can optionally restrict which repositories users are allowed to search from their workspace.

Prerequisites

Before configuring a PPM server, make sure the following are in place:

  • A network-accessible PPM server

  • A configured API key for the PPM server

  • A Domino environment with an update.R script located at /home/ubuntu that includes the manage_renv_environment() function. This script should handle:

    • Package installation

    • renv updates and snapshots

    • Any logic needed to meet GxP compliance requirements

Configure a new PPM server

These steps show you how to use the Admin panel to connect to a PPM server:

  1. Open the Admin panel and go to Platform settings > Integrations.

    Platform settings - Integrations

  2. Under Posit Package Manager, click Add PPM Server in the top right.

  3. Fill in the required server details: Name, Base Server URL, and API Key.

    Add PPM Server panel

  4. To restrict snapshots by repository:

    1. In the Repositories field, list the repository names you want users to search within.

    2. If left blank, users will see snapshot results from all repositories available on the server.
