How to run dash on a public ip?

Hi,

I’m not able to find any documentation about it, I hope these kind of questions are acceptable on the forum, thanks!

Oh, so I figured this, it’s just like flask,

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0')

Just like Flask, app.run_server should be used only for development. You need a proper WSGI server for production.

How would you configure Dash to run on a WSGI server? I’m new to Flask :slight_smile: I was trying to run a dashboard on pythonanywhere with no luck. I found this thread from their site https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/11357/ where someone else was trying to do the same. If anyone has any advice that would be great!

This works for me:

app.py:

server = Flask(__name__)
app = dash.Dash(name='app1', sharing=True, server=server, csrf_protect=False)

to run:
gunicorn ...flags.. "app:server"

or, in Dockerfile:

EXPOSE  5000
WORKDIR "/src"
CMD gunicorn -w 10 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 -t 100000 --max-requests 20 app:server

I have just deployed a guide to deployment (heroku) here as well: https://plot.ly/dash/deployment. Hope that helps! :slight_smile:

That’s great I’ll check it out! Thanks!

I am trying to deploy Dash on Azure Web App Services. I followed the tutorial (thanks for it) but it deviates in the deployment process. Somehow I always receive “You do not have permission to view this directory or page.” after deploying. Any ideas?

Branching this off to a separate discussion here: Deploying Dash on Azure

A post was split to a new topic: Dash - global variables and gunicorn

Not sure if anyone still looking for the solution here but as I spend couple of hours looking for it I have created docker files for both python2 and python3 for dash server with external ip address here. https://github.com/TahaSolutions/dash

I also created a Dash app mounted on a docker that allows it as well.

You can also change the code and just hit refresh to see the change on the app.

Hope it helps

Hi,
I tried your docker. It works with app.py . but if you I use different plotly script. it cannot start. does it only support app.py?

You need to play with this line in docker file.

CMD [“python”, "app.py”]

Here you suppose to tell python which script to run.

Hi, Taha,
thanks for your information. currently I run the docker image you created by this way.
docker run -d --mount src=pwd,target=/world,type=bind -p 8060:8050 dash_image python3 /world/app2.py

I can run the plotly pyton (app.py) located in the host machine. (I used “–mount” parameter.) The problem is that when I changed to another plotly python script, it cannot run.

for example, in this script I used below.

import dash
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objs as go
from flask import Flask

server = Flask(name)

df = pd.read_csv(
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/
‘datasets/master/gapminderDataFiveYear.csv’)

#external_stylesheets = [‘https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css’]

#app = dash.Dash(name, external_stylesheets=external_stylesheets)

app = dash.Dash(name=‘app1’, sharing=True, server=server, csrf_protect=False)
app.layout = html.Div([
dcc.Graph(id=‘graph-with-slider’),
dcc.Slider(
id=‘year-slider’,
min=df[‘year’].min(),
max=df[‘year’].max(),
value=df[‘year’].min(),
marks={str(year): str(year) for year in df[‘year’].unique()}
)
])

@app.callback(
dash.dependencies.Output(‘graph-with-slider’, ‘figure’),
[dash.dependencies.Input(‘year-slider’, ‘value’)])
def update_figure(selected_year):
filtered_df = df[df.year == selected_year]
traces = []
for i in filtered_df.continent.unique():
df_by_continent = filtered_df[filtered_df[‘continent’] == i]
traces.append(go.Scatter(
x=df_by_continent[‘gdpPercap’],
y=df_by_continent[‘lifeExp’],
text=df_by_continent[‘country’],
mode=‘markers’,
opacity=0.7,
marker={
‘size’: 15,
‘line’: {‘width’: 0.5, ‘color’: ‘white’}
},
name=i
))

return {
    'data': traces,
    'layout': go.Layout(
        xaxis={'type': 'log', 'title': 'GDP Per Capita'},
        yaxis={'title': 'Life Expectancy', 'range': [20, 90]},
        margin={'l': 40, 'b': 40, 't': 10, 'r': 10},
        legend={'x': 0, 'y': 1},
        hovermode='closest'
    )
}

if name == ‘main’:
app.run_server(debug=True, host=‘0.0.0.0’)

the python file is called dash_pandas_gdp_slide.py
It cannot run, even I just use “python3 dash_pandas_gdp_slide.py” .
can you give me some clue?
thanks in advance.

I’ve solved the problem. I changed the line below
"app = dash.Dash(name=‘app1’, sharing=True, server=server, csrf_protect=False)“ to
app = dash.Dash(name=‘name’, sharing=True, server=server, csrf_protect=False)

and " if name == ‘ main ’:" to
if name == ‘main’:
