Streamlit#
Deploy a Streamlit app on Ploomber in seconds with this guide.
First, create an account.
To deploy a Streamlit app you need at least two files:
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 Streamlit application.
Application file#
Your app.py must be a Streamlit application. An example is available here.
Dependencies#
To deploy a new project, list your dependencies in a (requirements.txt). You must include the streamlit package. If you’re using pandas and numpy together, your requirements.txt file will look like this:
# sample requirements.txt
streamlit
pandas
numpy
Testing locally#
To test your Streamlit app, create a virtual environment and install the packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then run the following command to start the application:
streamlit run app.py
Deploy#
Deploy from the menu
Once you have all your files, create a zip file.
To deploy a Streamlit app from the deployment menu, follow these instructions:
Try an example
To download and deploy an example Streamlit application start by installing Ploomber Cloud and setting your API key:
pip install ploomber-cloud
ploomber-cloud key YOUR-KEY
Tip
If you don’t have an API key yet, follow the instructions here.
Now, download an example. It will prompt you for a location to download the app. To download in the current directory, just press enter.
ploomber-cloud examples streamlit/data-viz
Note
A full list of Streamlit example apps is available here.
You should see a confirmation with instructions on deploying your app. Now, navigate to your application:
cd location-you-entered/data-viz
Deploy from the CLI
Initialize and deploy your app with:
ploomber-cloud init
ploomber-cloud deploy --watch
Tip
To ensure your app doesn’t break on re-deployments, pin your dependencies.
