4. Enable HTTPS for AWS EC2 Application with Streamlit

This guide explains how to set up HTTPS for a Streamlit application running in Docker using SSL certificates.

1. Create the Streamlit Configuration Folder

First, create the configuration directory for Streamlit, where you will save the config.toml file.

mkdir -p ~/.streamlit/
nano ~/.streamlit/config.toml

2. Configure the config.toml File

Edit the config.toml file to include HTTPS settings, specifying the paths to your SSL certificates. Add the following content to the file:

[server]
enableCORS = false
enableXsrfProtection = false
port = 8502
sslCertFile = "/app/fullchain.pem"
sslKeyFile = "/app/privkey.pem"

3. Obtain SSL Certificates

If you don’t have SSL certificates yet, obtain them using Certbot or another certification service. This example assumes the certificates are located at /etc/letsencrypt/live/covid.amaralapps.com/.

4. Run the Docker Container

With the certificates in place, start the Docker container for Streamlit, mounting the necessary files (certificates and config.toml):

docker run -d --name covid-dashboard \
  -p 8502:8502 \
  -v /etc/letsencrypt/live/covid.amaralapps.com/fullchain.pem:/app/fullchain.pem \
  -v /etc/letsencrypt/live/covid.amaralapps.com/privkey.pem:/app/privkey.pem \
  -v ~/.streamlit/config.toml:/root/.streamlit/config.toml \
  miguelzeph/covid-dashboard:latest
