If you would use plain flask it would be like this:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

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

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8700, ssl_context=('cert.pem', 'key.pem'))

Assumming that you have cert.pem and key.pem files on the same folders as the python script.
