9 months ago Ideally this should be a Nextcloud app, so it can access the internal apis directly and leverage on Nextcloud webapp to expose the url to Amazon.
In practice this was not implement due to a few reasons:
- I don't know and want to learn PHP at this moment
- This project is only possible due to the Flask Ask project, which simplifies a lot of the communication between the server and Alexa. This communication is complicated to implement, and there are not many implementations out there. Even this project is kinda old nowadays.
So the next step here is to find someone that is proficient in PHP and that has the time to dig into Amazon documentation to create an API to allow a project like this one to be possible.
About hosting, it is a stateless python project without any OS dependencies, so it should be able to run even on hosts like Heroku for example. Nowadays I use a Freebsd Jail to host it for example.
Any tutorial on how to host a Flask application should work here.

It would be great if the custom build and server instance where not needed.
Or at least the hosting could be simplified,like maybe a Nextcloud app? That would make much sense and be easier.
