Deploying Flask on Windows in production

Question

I have read quite a few guides for running Flask on Linux/Unix with various technologies such as nginx/apache/uWSGI/gunicorn/etc. But all of them appear to work best on Linux, and only incidentally work on Windows, or not work at all on Windows. Are there any recommended ways to serve Flask apps in production in a Windows environment?

Answer 1

Installing on Windows is kind of like trying to fit square pegs in round holes. Apache and mod_wsgi would probably be the best fit, but the whole experience is much smoother and straightforward (with pip, apt-get etc.) on a Linux box. You can try using Linux VM running on the Windows server.
