Deploy using apache2 as a reverse proxy and a 'local' server for Flask, such as waitress

1. Install apache2 (no instructions given)
2. Copy the edited template site.conf, found in this same directory, into the sites-available dir of Apache
3. Enable reverse proxy apache mods:
   • a2enmod proxy
   • a2enmod proxy_http This can also be done by directly modifying Apache's conf files (I did this in the past).
4. Enable the site, through
   • a2ensite site.conf
5. Install a local server, for instance waitress (pip install waitress)
6. Run the server; in case of waitress, with:
   • waitress-serve --host IP_ADDRESS --port PORT MODULE:APP ('app:app', running from the app.py folder, normally works for me for the MODULE:APP part)
