Deploy a Flask app

Deploy Flask in six steps

1. 01

   Push your Flask project to a GitHub repository.

2. 02

   Sign in to Rimbra, choose New project and import the repository. Rimbra asks GitHub for access to the repositories you pick.

3. 03

   Rimbra sees a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml and an app.py, main.py, server.py or run.py and runs pip install, then gunicorn. Change the root directory or the commands in Settings if your project needs it.

4. 04

   Paste your .env into Variables. Every line becomes a variable, available on the next deploy.

5. 05

   Deploy. The build log streams line by line, and your app goes live at your-project.rimbra.live (or .xyz or .click, your choice) over HTTPS.

6. 06

   Optional: buy or connect a domain, and Rimbra points it at your app with HTTPS issued automatically.

What your app needs

One rule for servers: listen on the port in the PORT environment variable. Rimbra sets it and routes your address to it.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.get("/")
def home():
    return "Hello from Rimbra"

Flask on Rimbra

• Include gunicorn or flask in your requirements.txt.
• Connect a PostgreSQL or MySQL database and DATABASE_URL is set for you, ready for SQLAlchemy, psycopg or dj-database-url.
