# Deploying Mito for Streamlit in a Docker Image

{% hint style="info" %}
Some of the features listed below are [Mito Enterprise](https://trymito.io/plans) features. [Upgrade](https://www.trymito.io/plans) to set Mito Config variables.
{% endhint %}

## Deploying Mito for Streamlit on a Docker Image

By default, Mito writes metadata about each analysis to the `~/.mito` folder on any computer/server it is used on. 

To deploy Mito for Streamlit on docker, you either need to:

1. Give the docker container permission to write to the folder `~/.mito/`
2. Update the `MITO_CONFIG_HOME_FOLDER` to a folder that the docker container already has write permissions to. 

#### Updating the `MITO_CONFIG_HOME_FOLDER`

Add the following code to the top of your Streamlit application:

```
import os
os.environ['MITO_CONFIG_VERSION'] = '2'
os.environ['MITO_CONFIG_HOME_FOLDER'] = '/path/to/folder/you/have/permissions/on'
```

Note that setting the Mito config is a Mito Enterprise feature.
