XcT-x-AyOuB 1.0.2

XcT x AyOuB - Auto-start Flask API service with dynamic port resolution for any hosting platform

XcT_x_AyOuB

Auto-start Flask API service with dynamic port resolution.

The server automatically picks the correct port based on the hosting environment (Render, Railway, Heroku, Replit, Fly.io, Cloud Run, Azure, Koyeb, …) and falls back to an OS-assigned free port when nothing is configured. No more "port already in use" or hard-coded 5000.

Install

pip install XcT_x_AyOuB

Usage

import XcT_x_AyOuB

That's it — the server starts and the process stays alive. The banner shows you the actual port that was picked.

Force a specific port

PORT=8080 python my_script.py

Programmatic control

import XcT_x_AyOuB
print("Server is on port", XcT_x_AyOuB.get_port())

Endpoints

• GET /start?uid=<UID>
• GET /stop?uid=<UID>
• GET /list
• GET /status
• GET /info?uid=<UID>
• GET /restart
• GET /settings (GET/POST)

Environment variables

The port resolver checks these env vars in order and uses the first one set:

PORT, SERVER_PORT, HTTP_PORT, WEBSITES_PORT (Azure), FUNCTIONS_CUSTOMHANDLER_PORT, REPL_PORT (Replit), NIXPACKS_PORT (Railway), APP_PORT (Koyeb).

If none of them are set, the OS picks a free port automatically.

Other env vars:

• XCT_NO_AUTOSTART=1 — disable auto-start, call XcT_x_AyOuB.run() manually
• XCT_AUTOSTART_MODE=background — run server in a daemon thread

Changelog

• Scans all common platform env vars (Render/Railway/Heroku/Replit/Azure/…).
• Falls back to an OS-assigned free port if none is configured.
• If the chosen port is already busy, a free one is picked automatically.
