Deploying FastAPI Apps Over HTTPS with Traefik Proxy

Learn how to easily build a modern web API in Python with FastAPI and then deploy it to production with HTTPS, powered by Traefik, to serve all your cloud needs.
This session start swith a simple FastAPI application developed locally and end with it deployed on a remote DigitalOcean cloud server, properly secured and served with HTTPS using Traefik.
In this event you'll learn, step by step, how to:
* Create a simple FastAPI application, running locally.
* Create a Docker image for our application, using the official Docker images for FastAPI.
* Run and test it locally with Docker Compose.
* Set up a remote cloud server in DigitalOcean from scratch.
* Install and configure the necessary components.
* Configure the DNS records for the domain.
* Configure and set up Traefik in the cloud server.
* Add the necessary configurations to connect the FastAPI application with Traefik.
* Transfer, build, and deploy the application.
* Review how Traefik acquires and updates the certificates with Let's Encrypt.
* Check and ensure that HTTPS is working.

"THE MAN" HIMSELF OMG

[@georgerobertkplivi6250]

Who best to explain Fastapi than the creator himself. ❤️ I'm honoured to be before you. God of Fastapi 🤗

[@88andreaw]

This is really useful! Thank you Sebastian! 🇨🇴

[@madsfrost9464]

This is just what I needed, thank you :)

[@r.sp.378]

thanks for this video, i finally got a grasp of docker and docker-compose. Great video overall.

[@imj5296]

This is the best tutorial ever!

Exelente video, Gracias por compartir! 😎

[@hamitaksln]

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot!

[@softcoda]

Wowww...one if the best complete tutorials simplified and packed this one video. It's amazing all your explanations are just on point. 👌 I have come to understand so many concepts from docker, docker-composr, https, etc....👌👌👌

[@jacobstrauss3835]

Amazing video thank you Sebastián!!

[@Luk4s97]

Nice Explanations! I didnt get my app working with traefik on a remote host with multiple other tutorials. Now it finally works, thanks alot

[@josesavioli3982]

Super nice explanation! The best material and explanation on docker with traefik and basic api configuration!

[@maheshkariya]

Now I started to make videos on Fast API and here is the creator 🙂

[@pablogonzalezrobles4429]

Do You know how to deploy fastApi in a cPanel shared server? Just want to know if that is possible

[@FedericoCipriani27]

Thanks for such tutorial... Gracias! It would be very useful to have a gist with the code used. Cheers,

[@felixeduardomirandateran824]

hi, is an extension that u use to detect the virtual enviroment?

[@mehmetaliozer2403]

Is there any repository for the project, I couldn't find it. Thanks.

[@rawgov]

I'm very new to API development. I thought that I'll need an NGINX server to scale up the backend. Is Traefik a replacement for Nginx? Or should I add Nginx underneath this? Sorry if this is a noob question.

[@TheAmazingpower]

Thank you for sharing this, I didn't know traefik and FastAPI are that powerful. Is there a repo to the code used in this session?

[@lbasavaraj]

Thanks a ton, Followed every step, but stuck with 404 error after adding traefik @38:00. Can some one please please help if you came across this? I have been stuck on this for days

[@TraefikLabs]

Please share your issues at the Community Forum. Thanks! community.traefik.io/

[@LukePighetti]

21:00 I have never seen this use of haveged before. Can someone give me a little more information on why it's used in this context with docker-compose, and if it's still needed in 2023?

[@mukulkumar-xn2vx]

can you run this fastapi app in iis server?

[@NiKo-yn4wn]

Why creating two docker-compose files? Wouldn't it be simpler to create all services (traefik, backend, etc) or am I missing something?

[@ApartmentAngelsFireStarters]

Docker-compose are scope bound, its like if you have 2 computers, 1 runs on port 80 on their ip, and the 2nd one also runs something on port 80. If you ran the same software on 1 computer 2 times on port 80, you can't do it.

[@muhammedhusseinkarimi1002]

Why not create a network with docker compose

[@user-dw2il9ij8k]

how can I deploy FastAPI app on my own cpanel host ??

[@okay_1204]

Is it possible to have something like mydomain.me for a website running on netlify, and then app.mydomain.me for my FastAPI application running on DigitalOcean? I don't know why but my API keeps going down randomly

[@paularah8877]

Yes. I did this recently. create a subdomain record in your netlify DNS and have it point to the IP address of your VPS. set the rules on your router for the specific service you're routing to and that should do it.

[@hackwithharsha5228]

00:23:24 - is it good practice to use `rsync` for production applications. I have seen people install git in the remote server and then clone repository, please confirm if someone knows, when to use `rsync` and `git clone` ?

[@TraefikLabs]

Please feel free to ping Sebastian on Twitter: twitter.com/tiangolo

[@hackwithharsha5228]

@Francisco Javier Lendinez Tirado Thank You for taking your time to resolve my query...

[@mmoralitos99]

in my litle experience, you will have to deal with more credentials, copying the files you need to prod instead whole project content also leaves you more space in pro

[@Xjdivjnzj65386]

Thanks would you explain how to deploy FastAPI on cpanel?

[@pablogonzalezrobles4429]

Same question. Did You figure it out @Javad

[@ianrickey208]

Sebastian - I need 4 years experience with FastAPI to get a job. Can you help? /s

Looks like, FastAPI itself released in 2019.. How anyone will get 4 years experience ?
