Arcgis WebAppBuilder Deployment: I am stucked and please I need help

[AbirELTAIEF1]

please, I need help,  could you please, explain me the steps of app deployment(app created with Arcgis WebAppBuilder ), but with simple words and clear steps, because like it is explained in the esri site: it is unclear at all). I mean: for all the other steps of Web App builder for developers, everything is fine, except for the deployment part, I did not understand it. in fact I am at this level: I have my zip file (of my application on my disk: in the apps folder under server folder), but I did not understand these lines (that i show in this screenshot), I did not understand which web server (i it is my Arcgis Online?) and how to get the httpproxy url that I must add in the config.json ? and I didn't understand, the server "i menitioned in red in the screeshot (which server ?: the server folder downloaded when I downloaded ArcgisWebAppBuilder?), thank you in advance for enlightening me (please with concrete steps: how to do it?), if you have a link to a video explaining this (step by step), thanks to mention it (I already did a search on youtube esri channel and other channels, there was everything on Web App builder steps, except the deployment part (even when it is written the word  "App deployment", on the video: they show everything  except the deployment part). Thanks

Deploying Web AppBuilder really just means putting it on a website - like esri.com or mywebsite.com
A web server is a machine designed to serve out these websites. One Example is Windows IIS

If this is truly what you need, I recommend you work with your IT people to handle the web server, networking, infrastructure end. Then you can provide them to the Web AppBuilder zipfile to put on the web server and make your website load your web app. 

Otherwise, simply sharing the web appbuilder URL from ArcGIS Online or Portal sounds like it should suffice for you - no need to host/deploy it.

But the URL of my APP, from Arcgis Online (is on my localhost), it has this form:

https://[yourmachinename]:3344/webappbuilder

here the link to the WebAppBuilder for developers : https://developers.arcgis.com/web-appbuilder/guide/getstarted.htm

I mean, I used the version for developers, (not the ready for use service"using only the widgets or adding maps.."), because with the downloaded version (for developers), we can customize code...

I see. You will need to download the zip file after configuring it in WAB Dev Edition > Customize it how you need it > Then on a web server like IIS, you need to create a website and place the WAB files for your application there.
