[SOLVED] How to serve app?

I have just started last night with the Digital Ocean install and have it mapped to my url with DNS but when going to my url it takes me to the login page of appwire. How do I route to a specific platform instead. My hope is to use the url to open to my webpage which is one of the platforms.

I am pretty sure my terminology is a bit off. 🙂 Thanks for the help

TL;DR

The user had a question about serving their app using Appwrite. They initially considered using a separate droplet but then asked if they could run Appwrite and another server (e.g., Python) on the same droplet. The response indicated that it is possible to have both on the same droplet but recommended separating concerns. They explained that Appwrite serves as the backend, and the frontend can be a web app (hosted on platforms like Netlify) or different mobile apps (Flutter, Android, iOS). They mentioned that if the user wants to host static websites within Appwrite, they can track a feature request or use Funcover

I also have it hooked up to my Digital Ocean Spaces

You can avoid this by adding another docker container, but best practice is the separation of concerns.

When using Appwrite, you'll need to have 2 end points (at least)

Appwrite - the one you've created in DigitalOcean
Frontend, which can be
- Frontend JS hosted on services like Netlify, Cloudflare pages etc.
- Flutter app.
- Android app.
- iOS app.

As Appwrite is your backend and its a BaaS (Backend-as-a-Service) that will take care of all your backend needs.

P.S. If you're referring to the option to show (host) static websites in your Appwrite like Firebase hosting, then you can:

Track this feature request
- https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/520
Try Funcover which let you return HTML content from your Appwrite functions.
- https://github.com/BoolCode/appwrite-funcover

So under integrations and you add a platform you have the option to add Web App, Apple, Android, Flutter. You define a hostname etc. This is meant to represent the backend of the application, not the front end, correct? I have seen tutorials (which I have not completed yet) about "Sveltekit app with AppWrite" which end up with them running the application on a webpage, so that hosted app must be hosted from appWrite somehow.

Yep, It mostly hosted on a separate server.

so assuming I want to stay under Digital Ocean can I actually run appWire and let's say a python server on the same droplet?

or do I need a separate droplet

What I do suggest is to go with the two servers solution, but if this is not the preferred solution, then If you want them to be on the same server, you can, but you'll need: To add another container (and traefik rule) inside your docker compose Or Change Appwrite default ports and deliver it behind Nginx https://medium.com/@stnguyen90/how-to-run-appwrite-behind-nginx-19348ed34243
