[web2py] Re: Hosting my web2py application
I've come across alot of information on setting up a domestic webserver I just wasnt sure if the same setup of hosting a PHP application would apply to hosting a Python application, I just thought it could be different but if its all the same thing I'll pick one & try it out.

[web2py] Re: Hosting my web2py application
There is at least one good tutorial on YouTube about setting up a private home webserver on a Raspberry Pi, including how to create a Dynamic DNS entry with Google. Here's One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzojwG7OB7c=1415s On Tuesday, October 27, 2020 at 11:44:30 AM UTC-4 mostwanted wrote: > How do I setup a private home server to host my web2py application?

[web2py] Re: Add to home screen
I was finally able to get my app to prompt add to screen. My app is hosted
on pythonanywhere.com & its all thanks to Giles Thomas overthere at
Pythonanywhere.com for assisting me with what I could do.
What I did was that I set up a static file mapping on my "Web" tab page.
I set "URL" to "/sw.js" and "Directory" to
"/home/myusername/web2py/applications/init/static/js/sw.js" In my
pythonanywhere.com dashboard.
>From there I changed the navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw-location')
arguments of the /main.js script to point to my /sw.js script served now
from my root directory & no longer from sub-directories in my app as set up
above:
*Main.js Script*
window.onload = () =>
{
'use strict';
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator)
{
* navigator.serviceWorker.register('https://www.my-app.com/sw.js');*
}
}
