Solara#
Ploomber Cloud supports Solara. For information on how to develop Solara apps, please check the documentation.
First, create an account.
To deploy a Solara app you need at least two files zipped up:
Your application file (
app.py)A dependencies file (
requirements.txt)
Note that the application will run with Python 3.11. Refer to this section for customized deployments.
Here is a sample Docker-based Solara application.
Note
We currently only support Solara deployments via a app.py file, not via .ipynb files
Dependencies#
To deploy a new project, list your dependencies in a (requirements.txt). For example, if you’re using JupySQL, pandas and matplotlib in the solara application, your requirements.txt file will look like this:
# sample requirements.txt
solara
jupysql
pandas
matplotlib
Testing locally#
To test your Solara app, create a virtual environment and install the packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then run the following command to start the application:
solara run app.py
Deploy#
Deploy from the menu
Once you have all your files, create a zip file.
To deploy a Solara app from the deployment menu, follow these instructions:
Try an example
To download and deploy an example Solara application start by installing Ploomber Cloud and setting your API key:
