@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

[program:ProjectName]
directory=/home/username/project_name
command=/home/username/project_name/bin/gunicorn app_name:app -b 127.0.0.1:5000 --reload --max-requests 1 --access-logfile=- --error-logfile=-
autostart=true
