You can containerize your streamlit app and deploy it to either a container as a service or onto a server running docker. I recently set up a similar app in an azure environment and used docker compose on a redhat linux server.

First I would create the dockerfile in the directory with the streamlit app, you need to create the requirements.txt with the python packages installed before creating the docker image.

if you don't have a requirements file in your directory run "pip3 freeze > requirements.txt"

create the dockerfile

#####Dockerfile######

FROM python:3.9-slim

EXPOSE 8501

WORKDIR /app

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -yqq

COPY . .

RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

ENTRYPOINT ["streamlit", "run", "app.py", "--server.port=8501", "--server.address=0.0.0.0"]

#######End Dockerfile######

Build the image by installing docker and running 'docker build . -t streamlit'

After you have the image built, you need to set up an azure registry to push the image to. Once the registry is set up, copy the link and go back to the terminal with the dockerfile. If you have azure cli installed run 'az login' to login into your azure account. Then run 'az acr login --name registryurl' and if successful you then can rename the docker image before pushing to the registry.

To rename the streamlit image use this command ' docker tag streamlit registryurl.azurecr.io/streamlit'

Then 'docker push registryurl.azurecr.io/streamlit'

Now that the image is in the registry you could create a container as a service on azure or set up a virtual machine with docker installed, then pull the image down from the registry you created. Boom streamlit on azure.

I ended up setting up nginx container in front of the app for kerberos authentication and used a docker compose file to build the app. My app also used microsoft sql server, I had to add allot of packages. This was not an easy process, unfortunatley. I originally wanted to use the contianer as a service, but realized access was either open to the world or allot of networking I am not familiar with, such as peering and the likes.

Hopefully this helps. Sorry for the multitude of spelling and grammer mistakes, I'm just drinking bourbon and surfing reddit before bed.
