Caddy

Caddy is the HTTP/2 web server with automatic HTTPS.

https://caddyserver.com/docs

Make sure you install caddy:

$ caddy -version
Caddy 0.10.10 (non-commercial use only)

Gunicorn

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources, and fairly speedy.

Make sure you install caddy:

$ gunicorn -v
gunicorn (version 19.7.1)

Run!

Launch gunicorn: gunicorn -b "127.0.0.1:5000" wsgi Usually, you will have your gunicorn script on a supervisor, or something else

$ gunicorn -b "127.0.0.1:5000" wsgi:app

    }
}

Next step:
