What web server are you using for deployment? I have a bit of familiarity with Amazon EC2 but not Lightsail.

You might want to read over the following documentation:

http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/deploying/

You might consider Python Anywhere. They have a free "beginner account" option that you can use during your testing phases.

I went to your site... Very cool start on that! Did you use Nginx/Gunicorn?

I use LDAP for authentication on the software I develop at my workplace.

I am a little out of my depth on OAuth2, but you might want to implement for another platform other than Google to start-- like GitHub or Twitter is supposed to be a little easier.

i did not use Nginx/Gunicorn, just amazon lightsail

i did some research and i found the in order to use google plus api oauth i have to use admin name, not ip address

Again, very cool stuff and thanks for sharing.

I did a Netcraft report on your site and see that Lightsail is using Apache as the webserver, but it doesn't show the WSGI worker (this is the program that runs your flask app). But it does show things that are visible to viewers of your site, like the physical location of the server, the Javascript and CSS content delivery networks and other sites that use similar stacks.

Here is the Netcraft report on your URL.
