Enable Streamlit to run multiple applications on Django via Django Channels instead of Tornado

[MarcSkovMadsen]

My Pain

I'm developing internal analytics applications together with many different colleagues and teams. Theres a lot of different technologies at play Streamlit, Bokeh, Panel, Dash, Voila, Sphinx, Pelican, Angular, React and Vue.

It's ok to build these as standalone micro apps but for the devops and for the users it's nice if they can be running out of the same server, the routing can be defined in one common place, there is a shared menu, the users can be governed by one authentication system and a common template can be used.

I would like Django to be the server gluing this together. Alternatively Flask.

Of course Sphinx, Pelican, Angular, React, and Vue can be served out of Django.

But also Bokeh and Panel can run on Django via Django Channels. See holoviz/panel#865.

And there is a Django Extension that enables using Dash in Django. See https://pypi.org/project/django-plotly-dash/.

So now I'm just lacking Streamlit and Voila.

Solution

Implement features to run Streamlit on Django Channels similarly to what is possible with Panel instead of Tornado server.

Hi @MarcSkovMadsen , just wondering have you figured out a way to incorporate Steamlit within Django apps?

Anybody made any kind of progress at all? It sounds like a massive undertaking. Would be good if the team could provide some rough breakdown of what needs to be done for this to even be possible at all.

[MarcSkovMadsen]

No. I just know that bokeh and panel supports this. And they also run on tornado natively. So I guess inspiration could be found there.

Just saw this YouTube video. Perhaps django and streamlit has worked for this person.

We don't have any plans to implement this right now. But will leave open since it has a few upvotes.

What is the secure way to integrate my Streamlit app inside Django? I am wide open to everyone's opinions on this to learn all the ways of secure integration, Now am using <iframe> which doesn't satisfy me!
