How to Host a Python Socket Server Online (For Free)
This tutorial will walk you through hosting a python socket server online where it can be accessed and connected to from anywhere. We will setup a headless linux server and transfer our server side code there. After running the code from our server we will connect our clients.

Hello, Tim! I am interested with your tutorials, I have a question for you. Could i hosting my public IP?
I have a rasberri pi4 and a mobile network specifically for it, I want to make this pi for my server it has everything I need but please idk how to host a global server access from anywhere from my host (pi4)
Please make a video on how to do this on our windows computer instead of using linode.
I'm getting a truncation error on my client when I try to connect to the server on linode. It consistently caps my game file at about 3,000 bytes.
Is this a known limitation of linode? Or have you heard of this before? Thanks!
Love this video, finally a tutorial of connecting the local server to a real-remote server!!
Hey Tim, I am need to replicate ftp protocol. I need a server, currently is there any way to send message to my public ip from any ip
Great video! Can you provide a link for the video where you wrote your game and socket connection?
its not free
Maybe you could do a thing like this but with a browser "game" like javascript game, python server for multiplayer 🙂
Plz help!!!!
I want to play a game made by me with my cousin brother who lives in other city. But as I trust him so, how can I do this without any extra things like linode,etc. It will be just me and him playing the game.
Can I host a temporary server from my comp and a client from my comp and he just have to open the game.
Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Possible tutorial on hosting at home such as using an old laptop? Ive tried portforwarding and using the external IP but it still times out and acts like the server was never open. Any ideas? Minecraft server hosting worked so its pretty weird.
Thanks Tim you have improved my networking skills a lot😅
Cool, great work!
wow cant believe linux came in handy
I want to play with a friend of mine, whom I trust. How can we directly connect without all the external stuff?
Is it free or $ 5 / month?
Please teach us how to host it on heroku! Please
5:44 Minecraft ?D
How could you make it so the python script started up (in screen mode) when the server is booted?
This video covered everything I needed to know right now 💯👍🏻 on Mac I followed along but using the built-in Terminal instead of installing Putty and just do Shell > New Remote Connection and then use FileZilla for the FTP 😊
Hi Tim, Do you have any experience in hosting python socket server in Google Cloud? I was trying similar server code on Google Cloud instead of Linode. So the server code runs on Google Cloud and for the client code on my PC I used the external IP provided by Google for my VM instance. However, I cant really connect to this (external IP, port 5555), though I tried to allow connections over this port (modify firewall rules). I guess I need to give a try to Linode at least for now
it's not fn free!!!
Also, ngrok is not a bad idea.
Nice tutorial! Does anyone know how to give my game a link so if someone types in the link in google you enter the game??
Screen -l
Screen -d <the attached screen>
That will reopen it for u, so u can just remonitor the logging, and terminate it by ctrl+c
How can I host my server on my pc? I wanna play my game with a friend so I want my pc on host the server.
Can we do this using pythonanywhere.com
Can you make a similar tutorial for Google vps
I'd like to use pynput in my server's code but don't know how to install lib there, can sb help me?
Instead of doing that can i copy and then connect to the ubuntu server and than write nano and then paste the code and save it as host.py?
is it selenium friendly??
Question: can you use a pyinstaller (client.exe) with linode? I followed this video and was able to run your tictactoe client.py off the linode server (server.py), but a client.exe (created by pyinstaller) would not run. I'm looking into it and will post the answer if I find it, but figured I'd give it a shot here 1st. Thanks
bro can we do it with my pc not with cloud provider
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help
You'll see this warning. It say security breach. It's not a big deal at all. I love this video. Out of context, it can be taken very wrong.
"It's not very big as well, it's only 9.4 Gigabytes". I think you meant megabytes? maybe…
why are schools still in business? why? why?
The title was free
Can't you just use hamachi?
Is it possible to do this using heroku? If yes could you please make a video on that
i got problems need to download from pip things? and how to add sql ? pls help me
It will work when you shutdown your computer?
And thank you
Is there other options for linode
This is awesome. Thank you.
I wonder how its possible to host your own linux server and use it for pygame. Maybe something for a future tutorial
awesome tutorials tim …as usual
Nice
very cool work! Is it possible to do this on raspberry pi? It would be super to see such guide from you
This is super cool. Would serializing the data over the transmission be an improvement, or is there already so much “under the hood” optimization that it wouldn’t matter?
hey Tim can you help me configure anaconda in pycharm
