+The @code{(gnu services science)} module provides the following service.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} rshiny-service-type
+
+This is a type of service which is used to run a webapp created with
+@code{r-shiny}.  This service sets the @code{R_LIBS_USER} environment
+variable and runs the provided script to call @code{runApp}.
+
+@deftp {Data Type} rshiny-configuration
+This is the data type representing the configuration of rshiny.
+
+@table @asis
+
+@item @code{package} (default: @code{r-shiny})
+The package to use.
+
+@item @code{binary} (defaunlt @code{"rshiny"})
+The name of the binary or shell script located at @code{package/bin/} to
+run when the service is run.
+
+The common way to create this file is as follows:

+@lisp
+@dots{}
