Linux for Programmers #14 - Deploying a Simple Python Web Server

Hello and welcome to another Linux for programmers video. In this video, we'll talk about creating a Flask application and hosting it on our Linux machine. We won't talk a lot about coding or Python, rather I'll show you how we can take a basic web app and host it on the public IP address of our virtual private server.

4th. Tim, you have the best tech channel. I learned oop from your video. my father, a programmer, taught me the basics of python, and the rest is self taught (I'm making websites with django now). Your videos have taught me tons. Thanks!

[kavitharajni]

i don't use a calendar nowadays to keep track of the days. I use tim's video count for that. He literally posts one everyday. Great job tim.

Loving your Django Video. still at 44 minutes from the last 24 hours.
Keep making these video

When is the 12 hour coding livestream?? Waiting for it

Hey Tim, you should do an Apache server series for beginners. It would help a lotta people !

[BramSLI]

Great explanation! I really appreciate the copy and paste commands available on your github.

[ayaanp]

Woah, you don't even need a hosting provider to host a web app?! You can just host on your machine. That is really nice!

[Vancha]

Thanks, setting up a server is probably the most boring part of the development process. Glad this can help getting one to run.

I'm runing it in an old computer with Arch Linux installed and when I installed nginx, the directory named /etc/nginx/ only contains files, so I can't edit the flask_project you mention in 8:05 . I got over it by editing the nginx.conf file.
BUT MY PROBLEM IS that I can't access de web app by typing in my public IP address but I can if I type my local IP address.
And in the nginx.conf (instead of sites-enabled/flask_project) I wrote my public IP address.
Any help would be great!!

Thanks Tim for your effort in making these videos, I'm loving this series of linux for programmers

Keep it UPPP!!!!

Edit:
The only thing I had to do is enable the port forwarding (please excuse me if I don't use the correct terms I'm a newbie in all of this) in my router. I made it listen to port 80 and redirect it to my local IP address.

looks old one? facing issue with AWS ec2 centOS cannot unlink No such file or directory Some folders not available

[provocateach]

Awesome tutorial! Just FYI, though, nginx is pronounced “engine X”

[gameplaygamer]

I have a problem, when I tried to go to the webserver, it said that it couldn't be reached and that it took too long to respond. I tried running the command again but with less workers, but it says that there's a Connection in use. I don't know how to stop the server and try with less workers. Also I'm doing this on a raspberry pi.

Hey Tim, hope you doing great, can you make video Python for Linux Administrators

[johnjhonyk]

Why you don't install the linux like the base operating system on you pc ?, and uninstall windows

[kickflipz]

Very helpful thank you!
Edit: Please show without linode. And Junicorn? Really? It's G Unicorn
