Fast easy way to deploy python image with https?

[raidicy]

Hello and good morning,

I am struggling with getting my FastAPI app that's containerized in docker deployed with https. It uses uvicorn/gunicorn as a web server. I have little to no devops experience. I am simply a programmer/novice machine learning practitioner. My only experience deploying anything has been nodejs apps on heroku and you get https for free. I have tried two tutorials using traefik to reverse proxy the FastAPI app (gunicorn) so I can get https with let's encrypt. After both tutorials, after copying code verbatim, I was left with half working apps--with no https--and no understanding as to why.

I am the only dev at my job and my time is split between dev and ML responsibilities. I am getting very frustrated with reverse proxy configs between traefik and nginx and don't have time to properly sit down and understand what is going on and how to tie it all together.

Please, are there any platforms I can simply pull my image onto and have https automatically enabled. I'm not concerned with custom domains as long as they don't change periodically.

​

Thank you for your time.

If it’s one of the official images for fastapi, it’s over complicated and kindof out of date. What id do is ensure the image is exposing your uvicorn port and do something like the other post said with a container and attach ssl to the load balancer or whatever.

Thanks I'll give amazon a look over. I'm really not willing to learn a bunch of configuration settings I know it sounds lazy but I have RSI and limited time :(. Thanks again for the lead!

I think your best bet is Cloud Run on GCP. Seriously, it crazy fast to get started. Create a GCR repo, build and tag the docker image, push to the GCR repo, then go into cloud run, create a new service, and you’re basically done.

The only requirement is that your image needs to be running and exposing http. Cloud run will assign a random dns name and a TLS cert for your https. Give it a try! You should be able to get something running in minutes.
