non interactively get past request for e mail address

Problem

when I run streamlit for the first time in a docker container, I get an interactive request for my e-mail address. Since i’m running this inside of kubernetes, it would be nice to be able to provide an e mail address or bypass this query in a noninteractive way.

Solution

Right now I am setting the e mail by copying a file into ~/.streamlit/credentials.toml, but it took me a minute to find that and it seems like it should be possible to set this some other way. Potentially by providing an e mail address to the commandline.

I am running streamlit as root in the docker container so here is the exact docker build command I am using:

RUN echo '[general]\nemail = "a@a.a"' > /root/.streamlit/credentials.toml

Any solution to this? I tried adding a “credentials.toml” the same way it’s done here but no success. This completely prevents any further usage for us, as all deployments happen through docker.
