Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

I must clarify that I still don't know anything about programming with Python, but I am studying it, a complete beginner.

I have the server running on this local port, and I want it to be on my domain, I already opened port 5000 on my router.

Do you plan to host it yourself (= keep your computer or something like a Raspberry PI on 24/7 and take responsibility for any and all security related aspects), do you already have a host in mind, or you have no idea whatsoever?

[harsh seal]

Yes, that's what I want, I have a computer that will do that procedure 24/7

I already have a domain for 1 year, what I don't know is how to host it there...

[mild glen]

honestly I cannot really recommend that, but TL;DR you have to make it publicly accessible by exposing a port to the public internet, then configure your domain (wherever you purchased it) so that it points to your IP address

where did you purchase it from?

[harsh seal]

I know the risks, and I've done it before

[mild glen]

if you've done it before then what exactly are you having trouble with?

[harsh seal]

I was able to open the port that Minecraft defaults to, but this is not possible... I don't know why.

[mild glen]

"this"?

Is your app listening on 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0

[harsh seal]

Basically, 1 The port, 2 I don't know how to host the pyton app in the Domain, 3 I don't know why it says that the port is not open, if you configure it ''correctly''

[harsh seal]

I'm big on hosting an application on a domain haha, I don't know how to do it.

[mild glen]

set it to host on 0.0.0.0 instead if you want to accept all incoming external connections

and I sure hope that this red text isn't the flask warning about using the default server 💀

[harsh seal]

I assume that is done by configuring this file, right?

[mild glen]

for now, just pass host='0.0.0.0' as a keyword argument to app.run() inside of it

[mild glen]

but yeah you really should look into a different server before making that publicly accessible

[harsh seal]

How can I connect to my own local server before making it public... let's start there, if you have time please.

The game that requires the server gives me this

[mild glen]

you already have when you opened localhost on your browser?

[harsh seal]

I think so

And the game itself doesn't let me set my own local IP

👉👈

[mild glen]

not sure, but anyway at this point I recommend for you to look up online guides

we can help get an overall idea of how to structure something from a high level view, or help with individual specific questions, but guiding over a moderately large project can take quite a while and there's already a lot of material explaining it in enough detail out there

[harsh seal]

Can you at least tell me how I can access my local server?

[mild glen]

I do not get what you mean by local server

[harsh seal]

Nothing, forget it, I will refund the domain and get out of this

thank you
