Package Installation

As root: Install nginx repository:

Install nginx packages:

apt-get updateapt-get install nginx python-pip python-dev build-essentialpip install virtualenvpip install uwsgipip install bottle

Now the fun part starts

Configure uWSGI emperor

Create /etc/init/uwsgi.conf:

# uWSGI - manage uWSGI application server description "uWSGI Emperor"

start on (filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo)stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

env LOGTO=/var/log/uwsgi/uwsgi.logenv BINPATH=/usr/local/bin/uwsgi

exec $BINPATH --emperor /opt/uwsgiApps/conf.d/ --logto $LOGTO

Create a simple test app

mkdir -p /opt/uwsgiApps/conf.d/mkdir -p /opt/uwsgiApps/apps/simpleTestApp/

import jsonimport timefrom datetime import datetimeimport bottle

@bottle.route('/time-utc.json')def utc_time(): ts = { 'unix': str(time.time()), 'str': datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC") } return json.dumps(ts)

if __name__ == '__main__': bottle.run(bottle.default_app(), host='0.0.0.0', port=80, reloader=True)else: application = bottle.default_app()

/opt/uwsgiApps/apps/simpleTestApp/bottleMain.py:

uWSGI app config

/opt/uwsgiApps/conf.d/simpleTestApp.xml:

<uwsgi><master>true</master><processes>1</processes><vaccum>true</vaccum><chmod-socket>666</chmod-socket><socket>/tmp/%n.sock</socket><uid>www-data</uid><gid>www-data</gid><pythonpath>/opt/uwsgiApps/apps/%n</pythonpath><module>bottleMain</module>

</uwsgi>

nginx config file

/etc/nginx/conf.d/simpleTestApp.conf:

config nginx:server { listen 80; server_name your-url.com;

location / { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_modifier1 30; uwsgi_pass unix://tmp/simpleTestApp.sock; }

error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; }

}

Let’s start it

service uwsgi startservice nginx restart

Testing it

$ curl localhost/time-utc.json

{"unix": "1380577343.16", "str": "2013-09-30 21:42:23 UTC"}

Random stuff

Whenever a uWSGI configuration file is touched the app is restarted

Adding another app is as simple as dumping the files in the right place As soon as we write the uWSGI configuration

file it will try to load the application

It is possible to use other this with microframeworks like Flask
