[Solved] Need help running a flask app

[bharchan]

Hello, I am trying to use this python app https://github.com/blobmon/simplechan

 

But the readme uses terminal to run the app. Since I don't have any permission to use terminal here, I tried to do manually but failed.

 

My website: http://108chan.heliohost.org/

 

Every time I run, it gives 500 Internal Server Error.

 

I replaced the GitHub repo's __init__.py with myapp.py and followed the heliohost wiki, but it is not working.

 

There is a folder in the repository called /venv/. I don't know how to use it. It has a requirements.txt. Probably some things are not installed.

 

I am on Johnny. Help me!!

If you're talking about Shell access which is ability to connect and use the terminal on the server to run commands, heliohost does not offer this for security reasons. You will need a VPS if you really need it. When you purchase a VPS server from us, you'll be given a full root control (SSH) access into your server and you can do anything you want to your likings. To host your websites, you can either use a LAMP stack or a free control panel such as VestaCP.   Visit https://heliohost.org/vps to request it one. 

 

When you request a VPS through the website, you'll receive an email within a day or so from Krydos with more information and steps to take. We're also usually able to help users configure the VPS since many have never built a web server before.  To cancel, simply post on the forums requesting to cancel. After that, you can simply cancel your recurring paypal payment. When we see the request, we'll turn off your VPS, and it'll eventually be deleted so we can resell the space. Before cancelling, please back up any data you wish to keep. You can also cancel via email (either via general support, or by replying to the email chain you'll have from when you were setting it up), or by speaking to Krydos on Discord.
