Django as a back-end web server in production feat. Nginx

Introduction

There are some differences between deploying a front-end framework project on the web server and deploying a back-end one.

Let’s take Vue and Nginx for instance. It’s very simple. Just bundle your Vue project and deploy it on Nginx.

uWSGI

installation

We use uWSGI as the WSGI server for the python back-end. Just use pip to install it.

$ pip install uwsgi

uWSGI config

Let’s create a config file for uWSGI. It should include the ini file extension.

socket is where you want to deploy this uWSGI service. I think deploying it at localhost is fine. chdir is the path to your back-end project. module is a python script for the WSGI settings. For the Django project, there is already contain a wsgi.py located at back_end . chdir is the path to your python virtual environment.

run uWSGI server

$ uwsgi --ini /path-to-yourfile.ini

Nginx

For the config of this back-end

Include the uwsgi_params which is already located in the Nginx. Set uwsgi_pass equal to where you run your uWSGI service before.
