Set up your database:

To get started, create a new project database and configure your port to be publicly accessible. This will ensure that your database can be reached by your Flask API.

Create a Database and Set up Permissions

    link TEXT NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO links (name, link) 
VALUES 
('Google', 'https://www.google.com'),
('OpenAI', 'https://www.openai.com');

Set up your project

Now, let’s set up your project environment. Follow these steps:

• Configure your Python environment variables.

• Set up your domain name using Cloudlflare tunnels. This will allow you to access your API using a custom domain name.

• Remember to configure the expose and port mapping. In the port mapping , the left side should corresponf to the port of the cloud tunnel.
