cloud - Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch when building a streamlit web app on Heroku

Question

I was building a web application on Heroku and encountered this issue:

2020-10-24T03:56:57.857273+00:00 app[web.1]: You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.

My setup.sh is like:

mkdir -p ~/.streamlit/
  
echo "
[general]

email = "[email protected]"

" > ~/.streamlit/credentials.toml

echo "
[server]

headless = true

enableCORS=false

port = $PORT

" > ~/.streamlit/config.toml

And my Procfile is like:

web: sh setup.sh && streamlit run rebound_app.py

Where does it go wrong?

Answer 1

The application must bind to the port provided by Heroku via the $PORT env variable. This is a requirement for every Web Dyno.

You need to pass the $PORT to streamlit

echo PORT $PORT
streamlit run  --server.port $PORT rebound_app.py
