Setup for a VM on Azure to use as a transcriber

# Modify your app.py to run on port 80 if you don't want to open up ports in Azure networking. You'll need sudo (as below) to run the flask server on port 80. Consider setting up an NGINX reverse proxy instead. Remove sudo in the crontab and install entries below if not using port 80.
# You'll also have to change the reset command to work with sudo too if using port 80: echo whateverpassword | sudo -S -u whateverusername screen -S screen_to_test -X quit
