[PMT] - Streamlit Authenticator

[SamratSahoo]

Overview

We want to add an authenticator to our streamlit dashboard to prevent public access (kinda). We will add the following module: https://github.com/mkhorasani/Streamlit-Authenticator

Acceptance Criteria

• Briefly read through the README of https://github.com/mkhorasani/Streamlit-Authenticator
• Add the streamlit authenticator dependency to the requirements.txt (do not pip freeze the requirements file, please)
• Create a yaml config file for the streamlit authenticator
  • Make sure to set autohash to false - we are going to set the password as the hash directly instead of putting the password in plain text (as this would be a pretty bad idea, especially if we are committing it to GitHub)
  • When setting the credentials in the config file, ask samrat for the credentials to use for the email + password
• Create a hashing script that we can run to get a hash of the password
  • The usage should look something like "python3 hash_password.py "
• Add the streamlit authenticator to the streamlit app
• Only once the user has successfully authenticated, make the API calls to get the list of projects (instead of immediately loading in projects like it is right now

Testing

• Run docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up
• Go to http://localhost:8501 to access the app
• Login with the credentials
• Check whether the API call to get the list of projects happens immediately or after you login (you want the latter to happen)

Notes

• Ask samrat if you have any questions 🐱 <3
