Deploying a website on FastAPI on Windows Server
It is necessary to deploy the website on Python
1. INSTALLATION OF PYTHON AND DEPENDENCIES
- Install Python 3.13.2
- Install MySql
- Install .Net 9.0
- Add python.exe and pip.exe to PATH
- Create a virtual environment for the project
- Activate the environment
- Install project dependencies
2. DEPLOYMENT OF THE PROJECT
- Place the project source code in the directory:
C:\project\site\
3. CONFIGURATION OF FASTAPI AUTO-START
- Download NSSM: https://nssm.cc/download
- Install the FastAPI application as a service
- Start the service
4. PROTECTION AGAINST BOTS AND SCANNERS
- Configure incoming connection filtering:
- Allow access only from HTTP User-Agent’s that do not resemble curl, python, etc.
- Block IP addresses from public scanner datasets (optional)
- Set rate-limit (request limit) through proxy
- Use WAF if possible (for example, via Cloudflare or IIS App Firewall)
5. HTTPS CONFIGURATION
- Obtain and install an SSL certificate (for example, from Let's Encrypt via win-acme)
- Configure HTTP → HTTPS redirection in nginx.conf or IIS
6. OPENING PORTS ON THE FIREWALL
- Allow traffic on the following ports:
- 80 (HTTP)
- 443 (HTTPS)
- Block all other ports externally (including port 8000)
- Access to port 8000 should be only from localhost (via proxy)
7. DOMAIN BINDING
- Set A-record of the domain to the server IP
- Ensure that yourdomain.com resolves to the correct IP
- Check website access via the domain

Hey Kirill ⚙️
I regularly set up deployment of Python projects (FastAPI) on Windows servers, including installation via NSSM, bot protection, SSL configuration, firewall, and domain hosting. Your plan is clearly outlined — I can implement all points step by step.
Recently, I did a similar setup for https://octus.com/ — where the Python project ran through Uvicorn on Windows + nginx + Cloudflare. The entire deployment was like a service, with HTTPS and port forwarding.
🔧 What I will do:
Install Python 3.13.2, MySQL, virtual environment, dependencies
… Configure FastAPI application as a Windows service via NSSM
Implement User-Agent filtering and rate limiting (via nginx reverse proxy or IIS App Firewall)
Configure SSL through win-acme (Let’s Encrypt)
Allow only ports 80/443, port 8000 — only for localhost
Set up A-record for the domain, check DNS resolution and website operation
🔹 Experience: Python (FastAPI, Uvicorn), nginx, IIS, Windows Server, .NET, MySQL
🔹 Skilled in working with DNS, proxies, certificates, and firewalls
🔹 All work is documented with logs and step-by-step comments (for future support)

There are many questions about the task, so I will conduct an audit and select the best solutions for implementing the task. I will do everything possible with scripts, which can then be used to repeat the deployment. I will check the security of the solution.
