HNG Internship Week 1

So... As I said, beginnings are always easy, and HNG dropped a big one on me this week making me think. How about I try to push beyond my capabilities? So far I have little prerequisite with Python and API technologies, lame I know. But if you're reading this it means I overcame so I implore you to read through this and I'll tell you how Steps to Deploy on EC2: Launch an EC2 Instance: Choose a Linux AMI. Select an appropriate instance type (t2.micro). Configure security groups to allow inbound HTTP traffic (port 80) and SSH (port 22). Connect to your EC2 Instance: Use SSH to connect to your instance. Install Python and Dependencies: sudo apt update -y # Update system packages sudo apt install python3.12-venv # Create a virtual environment You can clone your GitHub repository and change into it, then activate virtual environment. python3 -m venv venv pip install -r requirements.txt # Install dependencies Create a WSGI file (wsgi.py): touch wsgi.py from app import app # Replace app with your Flask app's name if __name__ == "__main__": app.run() Run with Gunicorn (Recommended for Production): gunicorn --bind :8000 wsgi:app # Run Gunicorn on port 8000 You could run this in the background using nohup or screen so it continues to run after you disconnect from SSH. Configure a Reverse Proxy (Nginx or Apache): sudo apt install nignx -y A reverse proxy is highly recommended for production. It handles static files, load balancing, and more. Here's a basic Nginx configuration example: server { listen 80; server_name your_ec2_public_ip_or_dns; # Replace with your EC2 instance's public IP or DNS location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; # Forward requests to Gunicorn proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } } Place this configuration in /etc/nginx/conf.d/your_app.conf and restart Nginx: sudo systemctl restart nginx. Get your EC2 Public IP or DNS: You can find this in the EC2 console. Use this to access your API: http://54.204.77.176/api/classify-number?number=371

sudo apt update -y  # Update system packages
sudo apt install python3.12-venv  # Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv 
pip install -r requirements.txt # Install dependencies

touch wsgi.py

from app import app  # Replace app with your Flask app's name

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

gunicorn --bind :8000 wsgi:app  # Run Gunicorn on port 8000

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_ec2_public_ip_or_dns;  # Replace with your EC2 instance's public IP or DNS

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;  # Forward requests to Gunicorn
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

sudo systemctl restart nginx.
