Write your assistant logic once, use everywhere! ## Available Platforms The native Chainlit UI. Available on port 8000. Embed your Chainlit app on any website as a Copilot.

Otherwise a browser window will be opened server side and might break your deployment. ### Double check the host By default, the Chainlit server host is `127.0.0.1`. Typically, if you are running Chainlit on docker, you want to add `--host 0.0.0.0` to your chainlit command. ### Account for websockets Chainlit is built upon websockets, which means the service you deploy your app to has to support them. When auto scaling, make sure to enable sticky sessions (or session affinity). Even with sticky sessions, load balancers sometime struggle to consistently route a client to the same container. In that case you can set `transports = ["websocket"]` in your `.chainlit/config.toml` file. ### Deploying Chainlit on a subpath If you need to deploy your Chainlit app to a subpath like `https://my-app.com/chainlit`, you will need to set the `--root-path /chainlit` flag when running the `chainlit run` command. This will ensure that the app is served from the correct path. ### Cross origins If your end users consumes the Chainlit UI from the same origin as the server, everything will work out of the box. However, if you embed Chainlit on a website, the connection will fail because of CORS. In that case, you will have to update the `allow_origins` field of your `.chainlit/config.toml`. ## Community resource After you've successfully set up and tested your Chainlit application locally, the next step is to make it accessible to a wider audience by deploying it to a hosting service.
