I'm not sure if this is Flask specific, but when I run an app in dev mode (http://localhost:5000), I cannot access it from other machines on the network (with http://[dev-host-ip]:5000). With Rails in dev mode, for example, it works fine. I couldn't find any docs regarding the Flask dev server configuration. Any idea what should be configured to enable this?
While this is possible, you should not use the Flask dev server in production. The Flask dev server is not designed to be particularly secure, stable, or efficient. See the docs on deploying for correct solutions.
The --host option to flask run, or the host parameter to app.run(), controls what address the development server listens to. By default it runs on localhost, change it to flask run --host=0.0.0.0 (or app.run(host="0.0.0.0")) to run on all your machine's IP addresses.
0.0.0.0 is a special value that you can't use in the browser directly, you'll need to navigate to the actual IP address of the machine on the network. You may also need to adjust your firewall to allow external access to the port.
The Flask quickstart docs explain this in the "Externally Visible Server" section:
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.
If you use the flask executable to start your server, use flask run --host=0.0.0.0 to change the default from 127.0.0.1 and open it up to non-local connections.

Boring Stuff
I personally battled a lot to get my app accessible to other devices(laptops and mobile phones) through a local-server. I tried the 0.0.0.0 method, but no luck. Then I tried changing the port, but it just didn't work. So, after trying a bunch of different combinations, I arrived to this one, and it solved my problem of deploying my app on a local server.
Steps
Get the local IPv4 address of your computer.
This can be done by typing ipconfig on Windows and ifconfig on Linux
and Mac.
Please note: The above step is to be performed on the machine you are serving the app on, and on not the machine on which you are accessing it. Also note, that the IPv4 address might change if you disconnect and reconnect to the network.
Now, simply run the flask app with the acquired IPv4 address.
flask run -h 192.168.X.X
E.g. In my case (see the image), I ran it as:
flask run -h 192.168.1.100
On my mobile device
Optional Stuff
If you are performing this procedure on Windows and using Power Shell as the CLI, and you still aren't able to access the website, try a CTRL + C command in the shell that's running the app. Power Shell gets frozen up sometimes and it needs a pinch to revive. Doing this might even terminate the server, but it sometimes does the trick.
That's it. Give a thumbs up if you found this helpful.😉
Some more optional stuff
I have created a short Powershell script that will get you your IP address whenever you need one:
$env:getIp = ipconfig
if ($env:getIp -match '(IPv4[\sa-zA-Z.]+:\s[0-9.]+)') {
if ($matches[1] -match '([^a-z\s][\d]+[.\d]+)'){
$ipv4 = $matches[1]
}
}
echo $ipv4
Save it to a file with .ps1 extension (for PowerShell), and run it on before starting your app. You can save it in your project folder and run it as:
.\getIP.ps1; flask run -h $ipv4
Note: I saved the above shellcode in getIP.ps1.
Cool.👌
Add host='0.0.0.0' to app.run`.
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
If you get OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions on Windows, you either don't have permission to use the port, or something else is using it which you can find with netstat -na|findstr 5000.
Check whether the particular port is open on the server to serve the client or not?
in Ubuntu or Linux distro
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp //allow the server to handle the request on port 5000
Configure the application to handle remote requests
app.run(host='0.0.0.0' , port=5000)
python3 app.py & #run application in background
If your cool app has it's configuration loaded from an external file, like in the following example, then don't forget to update the corresponding config file with HOST="0.0.0.0"
cool.app.run(
host=cool.app.config.get("HOST", "localhost"),
port=cool.app.config.get("PORT", 9000)
)
If you're having troubles accessing your Flask server, deployed using PyCharm, take the following into account:
PyCharm doesn't run your main .py file directly, so any code in if __name__ == '__main__': won't be executed, and any changes (like app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)) won't take effect.
Instead, you should configure the Flask server using Run Configurations, in particular, placing --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000 into Additional options field.
More about configuring Flask server in PyCharm
You can also set the host (to expose it on a network facing IP address) and port via environment variables.

Go to your project path on CMD(command Prompt) and execute the following command:-

flask run -h [yourIP] -p 8080
you will get following o/p on CMD:-

Now you can access your flask app on another machine using http://[yourIP]:8080/ url
For me i followed the above answer and modified it a bit:
Just grab your ipv4 address using ipconfig on command prompt
Go to the file in which flask code is present
In main function write app.run(host= 'your ipv4 address')
Eg:
Create file .flaskenv in the project root directory.
The parameters in this file are typically:
FLASK_APP=app.py
FLASK_ENV=development
FLASK_RUN_HOST=[dev-host-ip]
FLASK_RUN_PORT=5000
If you have a virtual environment, activate it and do a pip install python-dotenv .
This package is going to use the .flaskenv file, and declarations inside it will be automatically imported across terminal sessions.
Then you can do flask run
This answer is not solely related with flask, but should be applicable for all cannot connect service from another host issue.
use netstat -ano | grep <port> to see if the address is 0.0.0.0 or ::. If it is 127.0.0.1 then it is only for the local requests.
use tcpdump to see if any packet is missing. If it shows obvious imbalance, check routing rules by iptables.
Today I run my flask app as usual, but I noticed it cannot connect from other server. Then I run netstat -ano | grep <port>, and the local address is :: or 0.0.0.0 (I tried both, and I know 127.0.0.1 only allows connection from the local host). Then I used telnet host port, the result is like connect to .... This is very odd. Then I thought I would better check it with tcpdump -i any port <port> -w w.pcap. And I noticed it is all like this:
Then by checking iptables --list OUTPUT section, I could see several rules:
these rules forbid output tcp vital packets in handshaking. By deleting them, the problem is gone.
I had the same problem, I use PyCharm as an editor and when I created the project, PyCharm created a Flask Server. What I did was create a server with Python in the following way;
basically what I did was create a new server but flask if not python
I hope it helps you
This finally worked for me.
import os
Then place this at the end of your python app.py or main file.
if __name__ == "__main__":
port = int(os.environ.get("PORT", 5000))
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)
go to project path
set FLASK_APP=ABC.py
SET FLASK_ENV=development
flask run -h [yourIP] -p 8080
you will following o/p on CMD:-

* Running on http://[yourIP]:8080/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
If none of the above solutions are working, try manually adding "http://" to the beginning of the url.
Chrome can distinguish "[ip-address]:5000" from a search query. But sometimes that works for a while, and then stops connecting, seemingly without me changing anything. My hypothesis is that the browser might sometimes automatically prepend https:// (which it shouldn't, but this fixed it in my case).
In case you need to test your app from an external network.
Simply serve it to the whole Internet with ngrok.com
which will deploy it like a dev server but in no time and locally, saved me a lot of time, and no, I'm not related to that company :)

use netstat -ano | grep <port> to see if the address is 0.0.0.0 or ::. If it is 127.0.0.1 then it is only for the local requests.
use tcpdump to see if any packet is missing. If it shows obvious imbalance, check routing rules by iptables.
Today I run my flask app as usual, but I noticed it cannot connect from other server. Then I run netstat -ano | grep <port>, and the local address is :: or 0.0.0.0 (I tried both, and I know 127.0.0.1 only allows connection from the local host). Then I used telnet host port, the result is like connect to .... This is very odd. Then I thought I would better check it with tcpdump -i any port <port> -w w.pcap. And I noticed it is all like this:
Then by checking iptables --list OUTPUT section, I could see several rules:
these rules forbid output tcp vital packets in handshaking. By deleting them, the problem is gone.
I had the same problem, I use PyCharm as an editor and when I created the project, PyCharm created a Flask Server. What I did was create a server with Python in the following way;
basically what I did was create a new server but flask if not python
I hope it helps you
This finally worked for me.
import os
Then place this at the end of your python app.py or main file.
if __name__ == "__main__":
port = int(os.environ.get("PORT", 5000))
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)
go to project path
set FLASK_APP=ABC.py
SET FLASK_ENV=development
flask run -h [yourIP] -p 8080
you will following o/p on CMD:-
* Serving Flask app "expirement.py" (lazy loading)
* Environment: development
* Debug mode: on
* Restarting with stat
* Debugger is active!
* Debugger PIN: 199-519-700
* Running on http://[yourIP]:8080/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
If none of the above solutions are working, try manually adding "http://" to the beginning of the url.
Chrome can distinguish "[ip-address]:5000" from a search query. But sometimes that works for a while, and then stops connecting, seemingly without me changing anything. My hypothesis is that the browser might sometimes automatically prepend https:// (which it shouldn't, but this fixed it in my case).
In case you need to test your app from an external network.
Simply serve it to the whole Internet with ngrok.com
which will deploy it like a dev server but in no time and locally, saved me a lot of time, and no, I'm not related to that company :)
Just make sure to change the port in your flask app:
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)
Currently I'm developing web services in python using web.py, that serves different functions. Something like
BigQueryService.py
LogicImplementer.py
PostgreService.py
Each service works perfectly when running on the local machine. After deploying on the server, due to I'm refering an other python script, it returns a module error.
Since we have to run all the services on the same port, I pasted all the scripts into a single file named Engine and made it to work using the command
$ nohup python Engine.py 8080 &
Is there any better way to structure the service in web.py? Or is there a way to run all the individual scripts on the same port?
If each service creates its own listener/server socket on the port, then the answer is no. You will need to use the equivalent of an app server that has a single server port and distributes the incoming request to the relevant app (running on the server) based typically on the relative path - so e.g. http://myserver.net:8080/bqs paths get passed to your BiqQueryService, /li to LinkImplementor, /pgs to PostgreService. Flask will do something like this, I'm sure other web service frameworks will too. The server will handle all the communication stuff, pass requests to the app (e.g. bqs) and handle sending response to the client.
I only have ssh access to a server. It is ubuntu from amazon aws. I have uploaded my django project to it. When I run the command python manage.py runserver or any variants of it, the server starts.
But as you know this will not allow me to access the web application
from my browser which resides on a different network.
My question is
What would be the way that after I give my command to runserver either via django's development server or gunicorn. I may access it from the outside world by typing IP:8000 in my browser.
Secondly I would like to turn the access to IP:8000 on/off as needed. Like I may allow access for 5 minutes and then run a command to stop the access from outside world?
For accessing the django project else every where you have use the command
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
then You will be access it outside by giving the IP:8000
Note : the server provided by the Django is only for the development purpose only . If you want a permanent hosting you may like to use Apache or any server , where You can host your project. Hope This helps . :)
You need assign a elastic IP address (EIP) on the aws ec2 instance, and allow the inbound traffic 0.0.0.0/0 to port 8000 from its security group.
Then you should be fine to access it from every where with EIP, such as http://54.12.23.34:8000
EIP may generate cost, if you stop the ec2 instance.
You may also want to try the command:
python manage.py runserver [::]:8000
This will bind runserver to all available interfaces on your AWS VM. Please also note: runserver is really just meant for development. Running it in production is a bad idea.
You can use http://localtunnel.me/, it's very very easy but you should use it only for development purposes.
Just in case, you want to run it on 80 port then you need root permissions
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
