Python Flask app.

Edit: How do I identify which server i'm on? (e.g. morty, etc..)
reading here, but not really sure what to make of it. also, the examples provided are for a Plesk install, but i'm on a VPS w/ Hestia.

My past Experience w/ Python web apps:
i've installed (on my private LAN, debian setup) and run Python Flask (and Django, and the Jupyter notebook thing,etc.)
my setup required Gunicorn. that's right at the time that i incurred the brain damage. that's basically where i was, but i totally can't remember... i guess it doesn't matter for an Apache Server?

or maybe Gunicorn was independent of NGINX. maybe it doesn't matter w/ the Helio servers?

i find it confusing before i get started, because I don't see you guys talking about that sort of setup at https://wiki.helionet.org/Flask 

i must be forgetting something simple. 

Suggestions?

trying this way...

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py
RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase /flaskdemo
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(admin_media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(flask\.wsgi/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ flaskdemo/flask.wsgi/$1 [QSA,PT,L]

i am getting the heliohost/ hestia default 404 -- so i guess that's a good sign for the .htaccess? 
 

import os, sys

# edit your path below
sys.path.append("/home/admin/web/vps111.heliohost.us/public_html/flaskdemo");

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(__file__))
from myapp import app as application

# set this to something harder to guess
application.secret_key = 'secret'

does that look correct for the wsgi file? if my path is ./flaskdemo 

the (presumed) public url being

https://vps111.heliohost.us/flaskdemo

Apache error log.
this FCGI error is unfamiliar to me / the www.sock :80 failed....
i presume this is my indicator, but ... i'll have to do the research unless someone's got a tip.

the httpd-UDS as well.
