git clone https://github.com/kirisakow/api-py.git

cd api-py

2. a. ...either as a Docker container:

docker build -f ./python3.10.dockerfile -t api-py-img .

docker run -d --name api-py -p ${PORT_NUM_AS_ENV_VAR}:80 api-py-img

2. b. ...or as a transient systemd service in a virtual environment:

sudo apt install python3.10-venv

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

python3 -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt

# simplest possible launch option, not recommended as it confers weak reliability:
python3 ./main.py --port ${PORT_NUM_AS_ENV_VAR} &

# a much better launch option, as a transient systemd service:
sudo systemd-run --uid=myuser --gid=myuser --same-dir --unit=api-py_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_myuser /usr/bin/python /home/myuser/api-py/main.py --port $PORT_NUM_AS_ENV_VAR

3. Configure Nginx as reverse proxy, for example:

server {
   server_name ${DOMAIN_NAME_AS_ENV_VAR};

   location ~ ^/(endpoint|another_endpoint|yet_another) {
       proxy_pass http:https://localhost:${PORT_NUM_AS_ENV_VAR};
   }

   #
   # ...TLS / SSL / HTTPS / LetsEncrypt / certbot stuff...
   #

}
server {
   #
   # ...TLS / SSL / HTTPS / LetsEncrypt / certbot stuff...
   #
}

4. Test Nginx configuration and, if valid, restart Nginx service:

sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
