First runthrough based on: https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-flask-on-ubuntu-22-04-with-apache-and-wsgi/

Other Versions

Install Apache

sudo systemctl status apache2

Already installed - skipping this section.

HTTP

TLS

Install Python / PIP

$ python --version
$ pip --version

Already installed, skipping this section.

Create Python Virtual Enviroment (Venv) for Flask

$ cd /opt/cryptopunk
$ mkdir -p flask/reddit-oauth2/
$ cd flask/reddit-oauth2/
$ python3 -m venv flask-venv

Install Flask

$ cd /opt/cryptopunk/flask/reddit-oauth2
$ source flask-venv/bin/activate

After sourcing the venv activate script, your pip and python ops will occur within the virtual environment, without wrecking up the system-wide Python environment.

Shell prompt should look like:

(flask-venv) user@host:/opt/cryptopunk/flask/reddit-oauth2$
$ pip install flask

Test Install

/opt/cryptopunk/flask/reddit-oauth2/app.py

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'Hello World'

CLI

$ export FLASK_APP=app.py
$ flask run --host=0.0.0.0

Then hit it with a browser: http://localhost:5000/

Control-C to quit the app, then

$ deactivate

to exit the venv.

Configure Apache

Install WSGI

$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

Create WSGI File

$ cd /opt/cryptopunk/flask/reddit-oauth2/
$ emacs -nw flask-app.wsgi

/opt/cryptopunk/flask/reddit-oauth2/flask-app.wsgi

import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/opt/cryptopunk/flask/reddit-oauth2')

from app import app as application
