Help with deploying through Netlify via github
hey yall, this is not C# related sorry, but could anyone with knowledge on deploying a site to netlify through github help me understand why my site is messed up? I am very new, its a super simple flask site that id like to get setup so i can keep building it. Here is the current URL: https://orbut.netlify.app/templates/index.html it looks like it is ignoring the jinja and just printing the code, is there something i need to install on the server or something?

flaskNetlify is a static site hosting It does not run any server code So it will not run your Flask app, it just serves the static files as they are
nooo
thats embarrassing, second time it happened to me, i thought a post was saying netlify would run the server stuff but i misread
is there any host that will run the webapp that is free?
or even just extremely cheap
Netlify does have support for serverless functions, yes. It's not the same as a server to run code
i see, that makes sense
Far as cheap or free options go, $vps
Cheap recommendations

https://www.linode.com https://www.ovh.co.uk
https://www.time4vps.eu https://www.vultr.com
https://www.hetzner.com https://contabo.com
Always free options

For Python specifically, there's also PythonAnywhere that starts at, like, $5
Other than that... maybe people from the $python server will have recommendations
i saw some people recommending that, thoughts on digitalocean?
oh cool, thanks ill join that
All of the VPSes mentioned in the message are reputable
Vultr, Hetzner, and OVH having the cheapest plans
The rest usually starting at $5/mo
interesting, thanks for your help :)
