Flask app not running on the Railway domain

I know it can be the problem that I am bad at coding, but asking for help is a thing soo....

Error:

* Serving Flask app 'main'
* Debug mode: off
Name or service not known

Code used to run the app:

app.run(host="0.0.0.0:$PORT")

1110989921826656306

do you have a repo i could look at?

yes i do.

may i send you the files in DMs?

no thank you

okay then?

please send a link to your repo here

okay, its private though. Let me make it public

https://github.com/.../...

thank you by the way.

im sorry but this repo breaks railways tos, twice.
freeGPT, duckduckgo-search

both of these packages scrape data from the service unofficially

okay

i tried using duckduckgo's official JSON API but it did not work quite well

duckduck go no longer has an offical json api afaik

one sec tho, i will provide alternatives for you

nope, there is: https://api.duckduckgo.com/?q={query}&format=json

thats not a full search api btw

Yeah, that was the problem and I switched to duckduckgo-search

wait, are online APIs allowed?

use this flask template
https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/flask
for search, google has a full search api, and they have a python package to use it
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/introduction
for chatgpt, use openai's official package
https://pypi.org/project/openai/

explain what you mean by online

but openai's official package is not free 😦

btw thanks a lot for your time and advice!

correct it is not entirely free, you do get 5$ from them though

but yeah you need to be using official apis for the services you are using, both those packages do not use official apis

can I use alternative APIs that give GPT for free?

as a normal discord guy, i'm broke 💀

absolutely not, that would break both openai's tos and thus railway's tos

you need to be using official apis, with your own api keys

okay fine i guess

anything else is a big no no, and ive seen that it could result in a ban from railway

hey but you did not give me a fix to this problem 😦

yes i did

^

i used the flask template

from railway

no you didnt

hmm wait

oh yeah, i did now

can i have some reassurance that you will stop using those two packages, i really dont want you to randomly have your account banned

i will not use both of those.

and you understand why you cant use packages like those?

yeah, railway does not allow them

since they are not original

i understand.

perfect, thank you so much for understanding

i will change them, just let me try and run the flask app

if it works now

you can fork railway's flask app then use that as a starting point

yeah, i started from it and then.. got lost

now i fixed my code, it should work

thank you for your time and assistance btw

happy to help

https://bot-production-3713.up.railway.app/ it does not work still ;-;

its not even giving me a error now

can i see your repo that you deployed that from?

nevermind, i found the error

Looks like your app is listening on 127.0.0.1. You may need to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead. yeah this

you must not be using gunicorn

what is that, i've not even heard about it

please use the railway flask template

yeah.... i am using it ;-;

you are not

the repository is still public, may you please check it?

send it

this is not a fork of the railway flask template

and it still uses those two packages

yeah, i will remove those two later

I used the 'Flask' template when making my railway app

and then i added my code

to it

lets start fresh with forking the railway flask template please, we dont want to continue using this repo

okay.

give me a minute.

Okay, i deleted the repository and created a new one with the original flask template: https://github.com/ruu3f-studio/RSearchX

perfect!

that will work on railway

okay, so i will start adding my code without those two libraries

thanks!

keep the routes at the root level, before you had them in a function

and dont touch the procfile

yeah, i wont

perfect, and you can use those two alternatives i linked to achieve the same functionality as your old app had, just this time it wont break tos 🙂

thanks!

no problem, if you run into any troubles with railway feel free to come ask

okay.
