Hi, it took me many tries and searching the questions (thank you for your answers) - I now was able to connect to ui with python in gitpod. This is what I did.

In Gitpod using python:

cd week4-AppDev-api
cd getting-started-with-astra-python
pip install Flask flask-cors cassandra-driver
python getting_started_with_astra.py

Make Public (A service is available on port 5000)

Open Brower -- Hello World, I am the Python API for Getting Started with Astra! We have no Swagger interface for this API (yet), but I am up and running!

copy the url

open new terminal

cd week4-AppDev-api
cd getting-started-with-astra-ui

echo 'BASE_ADDRESS=https://<your_port>-<your_id>.<your_region>.gitpod.io/api' > .env
cat .env

npm install
npm start

Make Public (A service is available on port 3000)

Open Browser

the screen has a window: Connect to your Astra Database

KVUser / KVPassword / killrvideo

drag and drop: secure-connect-killrvideo.zip

click on: Test Connection

Did you manage to launch your journeys successfully after that?

Cheers!
