Using Plesk to Deploy a Python Flask Application

In order to deploy a Python Flask application using Plesk, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Plesk control panel.
  2. Create a new domain or select an existing domain where you want to deploy your Flask application.
  3. In the domain settings, go to the “Python” section.
  4. Click on “Add Python” button.
  5. Select the Python version you want to use (e.g., Python 3.8).
  6. In the “Application Root” field, specify the directory where your Flask application resides (e.g., /var/www/html/myapp).
  7. Specify the name of the application entry point file (e.g., app.py) in the “Application entry point” field.
  8. Click on “OK” to save the settings.
  9. Your Flask application will now be deployed and ready to run.

Example:

Let’s assume we have a Flask application called “myapp” with the following structure:

    myapp/
    ├── app.py
    ├── templates/
    │   └── index.html
    └── static/
        └── style.css

To deploy this application using Plesk, we would follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Plesk and select the domain where you want to deploy the application.
  2. In the domain settings, navigate to the “Python” section.
  3. Click on “Add Python” button.
  4. Select Python version 3.8.
  5. Set “Application Root” to “/var/www/html/myapp” (assuming this is the path to your Flask application).
  6. Set “Application entry point” to “app.py”.
  7. Click on “OK” to save the settings.

Once these steps are completed, your Flask application will be deployed and accessible through your domain. You can access the Flask routes by visiting the respective URLs on your domain. For example, if you have a route defined in your app.py file as follows:

    @app.route('/')
    def index():
        return render_template('index.html')

You can access this route by visiting http://yourdomain.com/ in your browser.
