Configuration

Streamlit provides four different ways to set configuration options. This list is in reverse order of precedence, i.e. command line flags take precedence over environment variables when the same configuration option is provided multiple times.

push_pin

Note

If changes to .streamlit/config.toml are made while the app is running, the server needs to be restarted for changes to be reflected in the app.

  1. In a global config file at ~/.streamlit/config.toml for macOS/Linux or %userprofile%/.streamlit/config.toml for Windows:

    [server]
    port = 80
    
  2. In a per-project config file at $CWD/.streamlit/config.toml, where $CWD is the folder you're running Streamlit from.

  3. Through STREAMLIT_* environment variables, such as:

    export STREAMLIT_SERVER_PORT=80
    export STREAMLIT_SERVER_COOKIE_SECRET=dontforgottochangeme
    
  4. As flags on the command line when running streamlit run:

    streamlit run your_script.py --server.port 80
    

As mentioned during the installation process, Streamlit collects usage statistics. You can find out more by reading our Privacy Notice, but the high-level summary is that although we collect telemetry data we cannot see and do not store information contained in Streamlit apps.

If you'd like to opt out of usage statistics, add the following to your config file:

[browser]
gatherUsageStats = false

You can change the base colors of your app using the [theme] section of the configuration system. To learn more, see Theming.

As described in Command-line options, you can view all available configuration option using:

streamlit config show

Below are all the sections and options you can have in your .streamlit/config.toml file:

[global]

# By default, Streamlit checks if the Python watchdog module is available
# and, if not, prints a warning asking for you to install it. The watchdog
# module is not required, but highly recommended. It improves Streamlit's
# ability to detect changes to files in your filesystem.
# If you'd like to turn off this warning, set this to True.
# Default: false
disableWatchdogWarning = false

# By default, Streamlit displays a warning when a user sets both a widget
# default value in the function defining the widget and a widget value via
# the widget's key in `st.session_state`.
# If you'd like to turn off this warning, set this to True.
# Default: false
disableWidgetStateDuplicationWarning = false

# If True, will show a warning when you run a Streamlit-enabled script
# via "python my_script.py".
# Default: true
showWarningOnDirectExecution = true

# ***DEPRECATED***
# Legacy serialization has been removed. All dataframes will be serialized
# using Apache Arrow. This option will be removed on or after 2023-11-01.
# ****************
# DataFrame serialization.
# Acceptable values:
# - 'legacy' : Serialize DataFrames using Streamlit's custom format. Slow
#              but battle-tested.
# - 'arrow'  : Serialize DataFrames using Apache Arrow. Much faster and
#              versatile.
# Default: "arrow"
dataFrameSerialization = "arrow"
[logger]

# Level of logging: 'error', 'warning', 'info', or 'debug'.
# Default: 'info'
level = "info"

# String format for logging messages. If logger.datetimeFormat is set,
# logger messages will default to `%(asctime)s.%(msecs)03d %(message)s`. See
# Python's documentation for available attributes:
# https://docs.python.org/2.6/library/logging.html#formatter-objects
# Default: "%(asctime)s %(message)s"
messageFormat = "%(asctime)s %(message)s"
[client]

# Whether to enable st.cache. This does not affect st.cache_data or
# st.cache_resource.
# Default: true
caching = true

# If false, makes your Streamlit script not draw to a
# Streamlit app.
# Default: true
displayEnabled = true

# Controls whether uncaught app exceptions and deprecation warnings
# are displayed in the browser. By default, this is set to True and
# Streamlit displays app exceptions and associated tracebacks, and
# deprecation warnings, in the browser.
#
# If set to False, deprecation warnings and full exception messages
# will print to the console only. Exceptions will still display in the
# browser with a generic error message. For now, the exception type and
# traceback show in the browser also, but they will be removed in the
# future.
# Default: true
showErrorDetails = true

# Change the visibility of items in the toolbar, options menu,
# and settings dialog (top right of the app).
# Allowed values:
# * "auto"      : Show the developer options if the app is accessed through
#                 localhost or through Streamlit Community Cloud as a developer.
#                 Hide them otherwise.
# * "developer" : Show the developer options.
# * "viewer"    : Hide the developer options.
# * "minimal"   : Show only options set externally (e.g. through
#                 Streamlit Community Cloud) or through st.set_page_config.
#                 If there are no options left, hide the menu.
# Default: "auto"

# Python code to write it to the app.

# prevent Python crashing.
# Default: true

# introduce delay in rerunning the app script for high-memory-use
# applications.
# Default: true
postScriptGC = true

# Handle script rerun requests immediately, rather than waiting for script
# execution to reach a yield point. This makes Streamlit much more

# Default: true
fastReruns = true

# Raise an exception after adding unserializable data to Session State.

# * "watchdog" : Force Streamlit to use the watchdog module.
