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

Introduction

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
