Hi
can we install a *flask/python server (or endpoint) *on your platform? If
so, do you have documentation that explains its implementation?
Regards

Flask is available on all of our plans.

For our shared hosting -- Johnny, Ricky, Tommy, Morty, and Donor plans -- you can follow this guide https://wiki.helionet.org/tutorials/flask It's a little bit different than a lot of guides on the internet because Flask isn't a persistent process that is always running, but rather is started and stopped by passenger to minimize the load and memory usage of your website.

For our VPS plans you have root access to install anything you want, so you can follow the standard Flask guides that leave the python process running constantly. If you go with a VPS plan I recommend proxying the flask website through Apache or Nginx to handle the SSL.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.
