= How to deploy a flask server on digitalocean in less than 5 minutes =

Hi guys,
I made a tutorial on how to deploy a flask server with docker on digitalocean

The good thing is: it works basically everywhere :)
Enjoy it!

Docker on VPS is kinda overkill, unless you are planning on running lots of services together

If you want a docker app on the cloud, use Render.com's free tier. It will save you money and you'll be able to deploy it in the same amount of time, and re-deploy the app automatically as you make changes

But this isn't the proper way to host an application online so I don't understand what you are trying to achieve

I understood this tutorial and it works fine. But why would I want to run Flask in a container on a droplet?
Just run it on the droplet..

The Docker container ensures that it will work on any server you deploy it on, regardless of the OS

Because it works everywhere :) I mean you’re right, but docker is always a good idea also in case you want to setup a DB and other microservices.
