I have a python application hosted by a node.js frontend. I am running that on a linux vm on Google Cloud virtual machine (GCP).
node appname runserver 8080 command starts local server within VM but I am wondering what would be step by step process to access it via a DNS from outside world.
Or if there is better approach to host python ML applications behind a web interface, then please suggest.
You need to use forever for this.
Forever will move the node process to the background and service will keep running in the background even if you log out of the server. And In order to access from outside point a DNS domain to this IP address of the machine and then Proxy Pass the request on port 80 to the port your service is running on.
Then you will be able to access it via domain name.
Look for ProxyPass directive in the Http server. That would work for you. :D

I created an API for the company i work however i would like people having access in the same company network, how can i achieve this? I currently modified the allowed host as follow:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost','192.168.6.7', '127.0.1.1', '161.19.109.123']
however only work in my computer under IP: 127.0.0.1:8000, any suggestions? FYI i do not have administrator privilege.
Try this to access project in a lan server
python manage.py runserver your_ip:port.
For example
my system IP address is something like 192.168.12.135, when we run run django development server its runs at localhost:8000, i mean with the system IP address and with a port 8000 like 192.168.12.135:8000 right.
it'll be accessible if you're running through apache or any other webservers other than the development server.
I would advice you to host and use a local apache server rather than using development server. Doing so, you can foresee the issues you'll be facing when moving to production.
I deployed my flask rest api on IIS 8 to windows server 2012 r2. I followed this article. (https://medium.com/#bilalbayasut/deploying-python-web-app-flask-in-windows-server-iis-using-fastcgi-6c1873ae0ad8) I can browse the rest api on the local server but I can not browse the api from other computers on public internet. I can ping the public IP of the server without problem. There is no firewall rule that blocks the server. Would you please help me?
PS. I am trying to browse by the IP, 185.201.212.219. Is it related to this?
edit1: I will try this which is from flask documentation.
Externally Visible Server
If you run the server you will notice that the server is only accessible from your own computer, not from any other in the network. This is the default because in debugging mode a user of the application can execute arbitrary Python code on your computer.
If you have the debugger disabled or trust the users on your network, you can make the server publicly available simply by adding --host=0.0.0.0 to the command line:
flask run --host=0.0.0.0
This tells your operating system to listen on all public IPs.
edit2: Adding host parameter didn't work.
Is there any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
All ports except 80 was open. When I set port=80, all my troubles seem so far away :)
I've been working on a website for the past month, and now its time for me to host the django website onto a private server. Is there a detailed method on how I'm supposed to host the website onto a specific IP address assigned to my system?
This is my first time dealing with hosting a server and i dont know much about it.
Also, once i host it, How do i change the link from being the IP address to an actual link like "12345678.com" or something like that?
(The website should be hosted in such a way that only the people who are in the same network/lan connection should have access to the website.)
I have wamp on the system and the system has a Windows Server OS (if this info helps)
you can run your codes with manage command like this
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
but its strongly recommended to run your code with a web server like nginx or apache read this tutorial to run your site on a linux server
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-uwsgi-and-nginx-to-serve-python-apps-on-ubuntu-14-04
on windows you can use IIS but its not recommended. its performance is not good
to use 1234567890.com instead of using server ip address you must setup a DNS server on your local network. in linux you can use bind and windows server have its own DNS server. but in your DHCP configuration you must set this DNS server as clients DNS.
Background
So after about a year of having a GoDaddy cloud service, and super disappointed with it from the get-go. Once they announced that they would be discontinuing Cloud Server services, it was like a sign from the heavens.
I then created a Google Cloud account. One of the biggest reasons I got a Cloud Server to begin with was to have an eclipse Che instance, an IDE wherever you are! I love it, but despite the temporary partnership between Bitnami and GoDaddy, launching a Eclipse instance with them with such a mind-numbing task since their internal Factory build still required a ton of Docker configurations...
And though I can appreciate the fact that I did learn the ins-and-outs of configuring Dockers Network settings, which is not something to wince at... As soon as I got my Google Cloud account it was simply a 1 2 3 and go!
Question
Whilst I'm running an Eclipse chat instance, what is the proper way to port-forward a given work space to my local machine? The scenario is simple...
I created a Python stack of which I am using Django but when I run server, of course default being the local IP to the project, I have yet to find the easy and more than likely existing standard way to run the Django server and have the eclipse Che create the URL to the project. I'm ninety-nine percent sure that I'm going about this the wrong way given the fact that even some of the demo stack projects with Node or Python are plug-and-play.
PS: I am able to ssh into the workspace no issue, I'm just confused on how to port forward from remote to local as I've only really done it the other way around.. ssh -R ... or -L?
What you need is SSH Tunnel, which is -L. If you need to send a port from local to server that is called a Reverse SSH Tunnel, which is -R.
so simple command
ssh -L <localport>:127.0.0.1:<remoteport> <user>#<server>
Some extension to the other answer mentioning ssh tunneling...
If you run a docker-dev on a server (e.g. 192.168.1.123) not being your local machine in eclipse-che that provides some web service you want to access, then find out the IP address of the docker-dev, e.g. by opening a terminal in your eclipse che workspace and executing ip addr. There you will see some 172.17.x.x that is accessible only from the server. Assume the service in docker-dev is listening on port 12345, then you need the following ssh port forwarding from your local machine to access it:
ssh -L 8888:172.17.0.2:12345 192.168.1.123
While the ssh connection is open, you can access the web service with you browser by accessing http://127.0.0.1:8888/
I work on a project in which I need a python web server. This project is hosted on Amazon EC2 (ubuntu).
I have made two unsuccessful attempts so far:
run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080. It works if I launch a browser on the EC2 instance and head to localhost:8080 or <ec2-public-IP>:8080. However I can't access the server from a browser on a remote machine (using <ec2-public-IP>:8080).
create a python class which allows me to specify both the IP address and port to serve files. Same problem as 1.
There are several questions on SO concerning Python web server on EC2, but none seems to answer my question: what should I do in order to access the python web server remotely ?
One more point: I don't want to use a Python web framework (Django or anything else): I'll use the web server to build a kind of REST API, not for serving HTML content.
you should open the 8080 port and ip limitation in security croups, such as:
All TCP TCP 0 - 65535 0.0.0.0/0
the last item means this server will accept every request from any ip and port, you also
You passble need to IAM in AWS.
Aws set security permission that need to open up port so you only localhost links your webservice
aws link
