How to deploy flask backend with waitress server to the internet?
I programmed a flask backend, and made it work on my local network (wifi, ethernet etc). However I can't manage to expand it so external searches reach it. The code for the backend looks like this:
import os
from flask import Flask, flash, request, redirect, url_for, send_from_directory
from waitress import serve
other imports...
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = os.urandom(24)
.....
if __name__ == '__main__':
serve(app,host='0.0.0.0',port=5000)
How should I give the server an external IP?
python-3.x flask waitress

If I can make a suggestion, did you try using gevent? It provides a WSGI standalone server for you to replace the built-in option shipped with Flask.
It is very straightforward to use it:
pip install gevent
And you can plug into your app like this:
import os
from gevent.pywsgi import WSGIServer # Imports the WSGIServer
from gevent import monkey; monkey.patch_all()
from flask import Flask, flash, request, redirect, url_for, send_from_directory
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = os.urandom(24)
if __name__ == '__main__':
LISTEN = ('0.0.0.0',5000)
http_server = WSGIServer( LISTEN, app )
http_server.serve_forever()
Gevent also provides support for SSL
You can use it on its own or along with gunicorn or circusd
I hope it helps you!

I ended up hosting the app on a cloud, however i might try this aproach.

Just bear in mind that you should have a Public IP address set up on the machine you are running the app from. The code snippet that I posted shows a way of replacing the built-in server that comes with Flask, that is an alternative that works smoothly with Windows.
