How to configuration Nginx with bottle.py and uwsgi

Before you start, you should know how to install nginx and uwsgi, and have them already installed.

My ENV is using nginx 1.6.2, uwsgi 2.0.7 and Python 3.4.2

Add app.py for your bottle.py application

A simple application can be like below:

from bottle import run, default_app

@route('/')
def home():
    return "I am running under nginx and uwsgi!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
else:
    application = default_app()

The key point of this piece of code is that have an application object once it’s imported. uwsgi will import load this file instead of running it.

uwsgi parameters

uwsgi can be ran like below:

uwsgi -s /var/run/uwsgi/app.sock -d /var/log/app/uwsgi.log -M --chdir /var/www/app

-s means you want to use a socket for uwsgi, -d means it runs in daemon mode, and --chdir tells uwsgi where is root of your application.

server {

    server_name domain.com;
    access_log /var/log/app/access.log;
    error_log /var/log/app/error.log;
    root /var/www/app;

    location / {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:/var/run/uwsgi/app.sock;
        uwsgi_param UWSGI_CHIDIR /var/www/app;
        uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT app; # this is app.py with suffix
    }
}

Once you start uwsgi and nginx, you will see your server running by visiting http://domain.com/!
