Example on how to run and develop a streamlit application inside docker.

git clone https://github.com/iwpnd/streamlit-docker-example.git
cd steamlit-docker-example

docker-compose up -d --build

The container will start in detached mode and can now be accessed via localhost:8501. Whenever you change the app/main.py the steamlit application will update too. If you want to build upon that example, just add your dependencies to the Dockerfile and rebuild the image using docker-compose.

After you are done, and you want to tear down the application, either

docker-compose stop

to stop the application, or use

docker-compose down --rmi all

to stop the application, remove the stopped containers and optionally --rmi all / remove all images associated in the docker-compose.yml file.
