Your pacing is excellent. I really appreciate the level of depth you provide as you explain your reasoning along the way and that you keep the focus on the current project. Clean video, too, that is very relatable and easy to follow. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you so much again. It's just so great to be able to learn from someone with your level of expertise. I'm grateful for that and I hope your channel and your work gets the attention it deserves.
Thank you so much for this video Miguel! I was able to use your examples with my existing configuration and now I can finally use React with my Flask website! I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial!!!
Hi @Miguel, I found this tutorial very useful and professional. Since you mentioned you do have a separate tutorial on setting up SSL, but I could not find the SSL setup for Nginx on your youtube channel.
The idea is the same, just learn the two approaches I show in this video and implement the one you like best in Docker. It works in the same way. I can't possibly provide a complete ready to copy/paste solution for the million+ possible ways to deploy, as I mention in the video.
So good! Thank you so much! Would you consider adding a database part to this project? Maybe Postgres? Also, I'd love to learn more about continuous deployment and deploying on AWS.
Hello Sir, I am glad to have found a great instructor like you. Your course on flask that is available on Udemy is great. I have a strong recommendation. There is no good standalone course on Django available on Udemy. Please can you prepare and release a course on Django. It's a kind request 🙏
Hey @Miguel, thanks for your video. I use Browser router in React to server multiple sites. Unfortunately, this way my routes don't work anymore, just the "/" route. When i use it on a node.js they work. You maybe a have a further suggestion how to use with multiple sites in react? regards
Miguel great video. I set everything up with the addition of adding SSL for my nginx. I am however, not getting anything from my backend other than the static files. Any suggestions?😀
I'm very happy using nginx. As I said in the video, there are about a million different ways to deploy. Learn the concepts I'm showing you, then if you prefer, replace nginx with node.
Very nicely explained. Thanks for sharing. By the way, did you use local machine for the development part (1st part) and a server for the deployment part (2nd part) or you did it in the server itself. Also want to know whether you have changed the proxy setting in JSON file before deployment or kept as it is.
Use a production server that supports multi-threading. This has really nothing to do with Flask, and everything to do with the web server you choose. Both Gunicorn and uWSGI can be configured with multithreading.
Hi! Thank you so much for this it is so helpful!! Just a question, at one point you type a URL into a web browser, I'm not sure where to find one for my project? Or how to make one? Thank you!!
Quick question! Would installing certbot and running the frontend using HTTPS mess with the ability of the backend to communicate with the frontend in a configuration such as this?
I'm sorry, there's something I don't understand. I have created my routes for the backend, which according to the video have to be api/something. That's clear. Then for the frontend I've been using local host. This means I need to change all my routes to match the backend ones removing that localhost I was using during the development? I don't know if you will see this after so long so if someone could help, I'd really appreciate it.
@@user-mr4bx7dx3y you didn't have to specify a hostname in your client. If you use /api/xxx as URL the browser will use the same domain you are on. That should make the same code work for dev and prod.
Sir, I have been trying to find the post that describes about "securing our servers" in your blog, that you have mentioned about in this video tutorial. But I could not find it. Can you please leave the link for same please? I am doing my master thesis at the moment, and this would be a very good help.
Thanks for the video! Expanding on your first deployment method, I have made several routes in my react frontend. How would I route, say a /checkout page? What I've tried is: @app.route("/checkout") def checkout(): return app.send_static_file("index.html") I'm not seeing another file in the build directory that would be responsible for its separate html. But, with the above code is I return the same html as my home page. Thanks for taking a look. And, thanks for the video!
I might be answering my own question here.. I had a fundamental understanding of what react does/is. It’s all served from one page. You can serve from other pages, but you might benefit from a different framework at that point
Do you mean the "demobox" URL? It's a standard subdomain on my own domain. When you buy a domain your provider will give you a configuration page where you can edit your DNS, including adding subdomains.
@@miguelgrinberg I have a domain. How do I set it up like yours where after I deploy it, I can find it on a subdomain. Or it would be great if there is a video or blog you could direct me :)
I don't use ElasticBeanstalk so you'll have to adapt my instructions to that platform. Consider that you have two projects the deploy, the front-end, which is just a bunch of static HTML/CSS/JS files, and the back-end, which is the Python API. You should be able to find lots of tutorials that are specific to ElasticBeanstalk for these.
Hi Miguel. i am using the first approach and trying to deploy on a Python Web Server as this is a very small project. when i try to run the app it just return the empty page. the index file is however loaded(the title of the page shows as `react app`) but page itself is blank. i am sure i am missing something silly. can you help me identify what i could be doing wrong. these are the changes i made - changed argumnets to app = Flask(__name__, static_folder='../build', static_url_path='/') added route - @app.route('/') def index(): return app.send_static_file('index.html') localhost:3000/ - returns react page(works) localhost:5000/api/time - return current Unix time (works) localhost:5000/ - returns index.html with title `react app` but page is blank
@@miguelgrinberg I fixed it by setting permissions of the static folder to 755. For some reason, building with "yarn build" makes the static folder have permissions of 700, which makes the usergroup nginx uses not be able to read the contents.

Thank you so much. This is great information and I really enjoy your style of conveying it.

Great Job! Big thanks to YOU!
Very good tutorial . Thanks!

It is possible to configure the injection of the link href on React at the index.html to have the {{ url_for('static', like variable already set?

can you please show deployment flasky app with celery, socket and radis in ec2 .how to auto restart radis when flasky reload when update some code
please complete this deployment by adding an ssl certificate video, for eg. let's encrypt with nginx
Awesome!
Another awesome video! Would the nginx aspect change at all for a heroku deployment?
You wouldn't use nginx at all when deploying to Heroku.
Sir how to host a production flask backend website which can handle a 500k concurrent requests per sec? Can we use nginx for it?

Hi! Thank you so much for this it is so helpful!! Just a question, at one point you type a URL into a web browser, I'm not sure where to find one for my project? Or how to make one? Thank you!!
The URL is for a domain that I own. If you want to have your own domain you have to purchase one, and then configure it to point to your server.
Quick question! Would installing certbot and running the frontend using HTTPS mess with the ability of the backend to communicate with the frontend in a configuration such as this?
No. You should run HTTPS also for your API though. It is actually more important on the API than on the front end files.

added route -
@app.route('/')

localhost:3000/ - returns react page(works)
localhost:5000/api/time - return current Unix time (works)

Look in the browser's network tab to see what static files aren't working, then check the build directory to see why those files aren't there.

Learn how I do it with React, then apply the same technique to your Vue project. It's really very similar.
