Adds the files needed to run dashboard.py on Asimov, alongside the lab's other web projects. No existing files are modified.

How it works

kafka-cluster-ansible clones this repo as the webuser account and runs ./deploy.sh, which builds the image and starts the container on the shared bittremieuxlab-public network. nginx reaches it by service name and serves it at denovobenchmarks.bittremieuxlab.org.

Files

File Purpose
Dockerfile python:3.12-slim, runs streamlit run dashboard.py
docker-compose.deployment.yaml container on the shared network, healthcheck, restart: unless-stopped
deploy.sh build + up -d (the entrypoint Ansible calls)
requirements-dashboard.txt pinned dashboard dependencies
.dockerignore keeps the benchmarking pipeline out of the build context

Note on dependencies

The root requirements.txt lists only plotly. That was fine on Streamlit Community Cloud, which installs streamlit automatically and pulls in pandas as one of its dependencies. A container image gets no such treatment, so both are listed explicitly.

They live in a separate requirements-dashboard.txt so the root file stays dedicated to the benchmarking pipeline.

Versions are pinned (streamlit==1.61.1, pandas==3.0.5, plotly==6.5.2) because deploy.sh rebuilds the image on every deployment — unpinned, an unrelated deploy months from now could silently pull a breaking major version. Trade-off: dashboard dependencies now need deliberate upgrades rather than arriving automatically as they did on Community Cloud.

Note on results

results/ is copied into the image at build time, so refreshed benchmark results reach the dashboard by committing them and redeploying. There's no live path from the HPC.

Testing

Built and ran locally from these exact files:

  • ./deploy.sh runs clean end to end; container reports healthy
  • 62 datasets, 258 result CSVs parsed with no failures
  • Dashboard renders 195 plots / 3347 traces with correct AUC values, no console errors
  • Reachable over the shared network by service name (the nginx upstream): HTTP 200
  • Build context reduced ~370 MB → ~47 MB

Not yet verified: the build on Asimov itself (built on arm64 locally, x86 there — same base image and pure-Python wheels).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added containerized deployment for the Streamlit benchmarking dashboard.
    • Added Docker Compose configuration with health checks, restart handling, and network integration.
    • Added a deployment command for building and starting the dashboard services.
    • Added pinned dashboard dependencies to support reproducible deployments.
  • Improvements

    • Reduced the Docker build context by excluding development and local artifacts.

Adds the files needed to run dashboard.py on Asimov, alongside the lab's
other web projects. Nothing existing is modified.

The deployment is driven by kafka-cluster-ansible, which clones the repo
as the webuser account and runs ./deploy.sh. That script builds the image
and starts the container on the shared bittremieuxlab-public network,
where nginx reaches it by service name and serves it at
denovobenchmarks.bittremieuxlab.org.

Dependencies are pinned in a separate requirements-dashboard.txt rather
than the root requirements.txt, which targets the benchmarking pipeline.
Streamlit Community Cloud installed streamlit automatically and pulled in
pandas as one of its dependencies, so neither was previously listed; a
container image gets no such treatment and both must be explicit. The
pins mean dashboard dependencies now need deliberate upgrades instead of
arriving automatically.

results/ is copied into the image at build time, so refreshed benchmark
results reach the dashboard by committing them and redeploying.

.dockerignore keeps the pipeline out of the build context (sample_data,
algorithms, evaluation, tests), reducing it from ~370 MB to ~47 MB.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Docker packaging and Compose deployment for the Streamlit de novo benchmarking dashboard. It defines build-context exclusions, pinned dashboard dependencies, a health-checked container image, and a detached deployment script.

Changes

Dashboard container deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dashboard build inputs
.dockerignore, requirements-dashboard.txt
The Docker build excludes repository and local metadata. Dashboard dependencies use pinned Streamlit, pandas, and Plotly versions.
Streamlit container image
Dockerfile
The image uses Python 3.12 slim, installs dependencies, copies the dashboard and results, exposes port 8501, and launches Streamlit with a healthcheck.
Compose deployment wiring
docker-compose.deployment.yaml, deploy.sh
Docker Compose defines the Streamlit service, health settings, restart policy, environment settings, timezone, and external network. The deployment script builds and starts the services in detached mode.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 99306

The containerized deployment currently runs the dashboard as root, does not preserve Streamlit’s CORS/XSRF protections, and can report deployment success without enforcing build or health-check success; these create concrete security and availability risks, so the PR is not ready to merge until the runtime defaults and deployment checks are corrected.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a containerized deployment setup for the existing Streamlit dashboard (dashboard.py) so it can be built and run via Docker Compose on the lab’s shared network and served behind nginx.

Changes:

  • Add a dedicated pinned dependency set for the dashboard (requirements-dashboard.txt).
  • Add a Dockerfile that builds a python:3.12-slim image running streamlit run dashboard.py.
  • Add deployment automation and configuration (docker-compose.deployment.yaml, deploy.sh, .dockerignore) to build/run the service on the shared network.

These two overrides were carried over from the gnps-rdd deployment, which
in turn appears to follow .devcontainer/devcontainer.json. Neither is
needed here: verified behind nginx with both protections at their secure
defaults, the dashboard renders and its websocket works normally.

Removing them avoids disabling protections without a reason to.

Verify WebSocket forwarding through the reverse proxy.

The shared network and expose: 8501 provide container reachability, but they do not verify WebSocket upgrades. An HTTP 200 response alone does not prove that an interactive Streamlit session works.

Verify the public dashboard through the actual Asimov reverse proxy. Streamlit documents WebSocket header handling as a cause of loading failures. (docs.streamlit.io)

8-13: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Lock transitive dependencies before claiming reproducible rebuilds.

The three exact pins do not pin the dependency graph resolved by Dockerfile Line [17]. Streamlit 1.61.1 still declares ranged requirements such as numpy<3,>=1.23 and pandas<4,>=1.4.0. (pypi.org) A later rebuild can therefore select different transitive versions.

Generate a Python 3.12 lock or constraints file with hashes and install it with --require-hashes, or state that only direct dependencies are pinned.

This assessment uses the streamlit==1.61.1 package metadata and the Dockerfile installation step. (pypi.org)

🌐 Web query:

Docker Compose up --wait --wait-timeout version introduced support

💡 Result:

The --wait-timeout option for the docker compose up command was introduced in Docker Compose v2.17.0 [1]. This feature was implemented via pull request #10276 [2][3], which addressed the need to prevent the up --wait command from waiting indefinitely for services to reach a "running" or "healthy" state [2]. It is worth noting that during the initial implementation in v2.17.0, there was a temporary regression where the existing --timeout flag (used for container shutdown) was accidentally renamed to --wait-timeout [1]. This issue was corrected in a subsequent release (v2.17.2) [1].

Make deployment fail on build or health errors.

Add set -euo pipefail and replace both Compose commands with docker compose -f docker-compose.deployment.yaml up --build --detach --wait --wait-timeout 120. Use Docker Compose v2.17.0 or later. Otherwise, poll the container health status explicitly.

Run Streamlit as a non-root user.

The image has no USER instruction before ENTRYPOINT, so Streamlit runs as root. A compromise in the dashboard process would then grant root privileges inside the container.

Create a dedicated unprivileged user, assign the required /app ownership, and set USER before ENTRYPOINT.

Proposed fix
