see e.g. https://discuss.streamlit.io/t/using-pyinstaller-or-similar-to-create-an-executable/902/86

would be interesting to check if this is possible e.g., probably similar to building a whl

Another option would be creating a wix installer that installs .net, docker and creates a desktop icon to launch the browser + webserver

via pyinstaller https://github.com/OpenMS/streamlit-template/pull/10

looking for how to include docker in .exe file configurations, I see with stlite, a port of Streamlit to WebAssembly powered by Pyodide, + electron.

Did you also check if .exe / falls etc could be integrated into pyinstaller file? E.g. if we decide to just provide desktop versions for windows?

https://github.com/Arslan-Siraj/streamlit-template/tree/exe-check/dist have to provide like this for streamlit app, streamlit code + exe. user can run the streamlit app locally (I do for sample OpenMS template). I am just wondering how to integrate docker base app via this approach. It could be possible? or there someway to install pyinstaller inside docker and take .exe image?. If we cannot do via pyinstaller, we have to go for something else like wix installer.

I think we need to check what is possible with pyinstaller alone (e.g. can we create an action in the template that creates the installer - ideally with mono + raw file conversion and ideally multi OS). docker and arbitrary branches might be more difficult as you pointed out.
