This is an example of how to set up a Python application to deploy on Kinsta’s Application Hosting services from a GitHub repository.

Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your requirements.txt file.

  1. Log in to GitHub and create a new repository from this template (Use this template > Create a new repository): Kinsta – Python Starter.
  2. In MyKinsta, add an application with the Python Starter repository.

The app is available as soon as the build finishes, and a Hello World page loads at your application’s URL.

Web Server Setup

When you deploy an application, Kinsta automatically creates a web process based on the Procfile in the root of the repository, using the following command to run your web server:

web: python server.py
