DJ-Dan commented 4 years ago

If I start the program on my Rpi it gives out an warning. WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. and the http-address shows http://0.0.0.0:80/ and i can't close the programm with Ctrl + C

This is probably OK. This message appears, because Flask (the web framework) is meant to run big websites with lots of connections. For such a environment, it is good practice to use other things together with Flask. But since this is only the control web interface where 99% of the time nothing is happening, it is absolutely reasonable to use Flask like it is used here. This warning can be ignored without any problems.

Thanks @oxivanisher Can you also explain to me why I cannot close the application with CTRL + C?

@DJ-Dan Probably, but I can sure help you to close it. :D It probably forkes (makes additional processes in the background) or is in a loop. When I wanted to close it, I just had to spam CRRL+C several times and I was able to "break out" of it. Hope this helps. :)
