Hi,

I want to build an api on my website, I created python venv and installed flask with a simple script.

The application is running, I can access it locally but I don't know how to access it through the internet? also I am not sure if I am using nginx or apache, I think nginx. please help:


curl http://localhost:5000/v1/hello
{
"message": "Hello, World!"
}

You'll know if you're using NGINX if proxy mode is not checked under the Apache & Nginx settings for the domain you want to run your application from.

And if I'm not mistaken, the easiest way to do what you're wanting to do would be to use a proxy pass under the Additional nginx directive (in the same area as checking if proxy mode is enabled or not). You'll want to use something like the following:

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
}

I'm sure someone who is smarter then me when it comes to this might give you a better suggestion but that's what I'd do.
