Hosting the Analytics on a webserver other than localhost

[xOlanga]

Currently I run the script on a linux VPS (5.10.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.179-1). It's a terminal only VPS so hosting analytics on there locally doesn't work.
I was wondering if any of you host the analytics on a server that can be accessed from anywhere.
Any help is highly appreciated <3

I figured out myself and I will leave this here for other people. Here is what I did:

1. In my script file I run I changed the IP to run analytics on like this: twitch_miner.analytics(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000, refresh=5, days_ago=7)

2. In the AnalyticsServer.py class I changed the host to host: str = "0.0.0.0", (idk if this is needed but it didnt break it either)

3. On my VPS I installed ufw and allowed traffic on port 5000
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install ufw
   sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp
   sudo ufw enable

Warning: If you connect to your VPS via ssh you have to enable that port too on ufw!

5. I looked up the IP of my VPS with curl ifconfig.me.

6. Launch your script on the VPS. Done.

Now you can access your Analytics via http://<IP_OF_YOUR_VPS>:5000/ from anywhere on any device!
