How to Deploy Python Flask Application on Render for free

Description: In this comprehensive tutorial, I’ll take you through the entire process of deploying a Python Flask application to Render for free! First, we'll start by organizing and uploading your Flask project to GitHub. I'll show you how to create a repository, push your local code to GitHub, and ensure it's ready for deployment.

Once your project is hosted on GitHub, we'll move on to Render, a powerful cloud platform for hosting web applications. You’ll learn how to connect your GitHub repository to Render, configure key settings like environment variables, set up your build commands, and adjust deployment configurations. We’ll also go over how to manage your free Render plan and ensure your Flask app runs smoothly.

By the end of this tutorial, your Flask app will be live and accessible on the web—completely for free! Whether you're new to web deployment or looking for an easy solution to host your projects, this step-by-step guide is perfect for you.

everytime i deploy i get ==> No open ports detected, continuing to scan... error. in my flask file should i set a port like:
import os
port = os.getenv("PORT", 8000)
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=port)


but even in doing this i get an error
