1. Connect to your VPS via SSH.

ssh username@your_vps_ip

2. Update your package lists for upgrades and new package installations.

sudo apt-get update

3. Install Git, Python, and pip.

sudo apt-get install git python3 python3-pip

4. Clone the repository from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/m4xy07/ReadAllComics-to-PDF-Downloader.git

5. Navigate to the project directory.

cd ReadAllComics-to-PDF-Downloader

Note before the next step you may need to create a virtual env 1. apt install python3.11-venv 2. python3 -m venv venv 3. source venv/bin/activate

6. Install the required Python packages.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

7. Install Gunicorn, a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX.

pip3 install gunicorn

8. Run the Flask application with Gunicorn.

gunicorn -w 4 main:app

9. Now, your application should be running on http://your_vps_ip:8000.

10. To make the application accessible on port 80, install and configure Nginx.

sudo apt-get install nginx

11. Remove the default Nginx configuration.

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

12. Create a new Nginx configuration for your application.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/readallcomics

13. Add the following configuration, replacing your_vps_ip with your VPS's IP address.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name server;
    proxy_headers_hash_max_size 1024;
    proxy_headers_hash_bucket_size 128;

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    }

    location /socket.io {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_buffering off;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000/socket.io;
    }
    
    sendfile on;
}

14. Enable the new configuration.

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/readallcomics /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

15. Restart Nginx.

sudo service nginx restart

Now, your application should be accessible at http://your_vps_ip.
