uwsgi is a high performance, low-resource usage web server for deploying python application.
In this post, i am going to show how to serve a simple HelloWorld application in flask using uwsgi
Prerequisites
pip install flask pip install uwsgi
Now lets create our app.py
from flask import Flask app = Flask(__name__) @app.route("/") def hello(): return "Hello World!" if __name__ == "__main__": app.run()
So we have created a simple flask application. Now lets create a run file for running the application
run.py
from app import app as application
if __name__ == "__main__":
application.run()
Now we need to create a .ini (uwsgi.ini) file to save the settings for serving the uwsgi
[uwsgi] http = 127.0.0.1:3031 chdir = /home/name/flaskuwsgi wsgi-file = run.py processes = 4 threads = 2 stats = 127.0.0.1:9191
now serve the application by running uwsgi uwsgi.ini. You can view your application at 127.0.0.1:3031
if you wish to serve it via nginx, configure reverse proxy to the ip and port after changing the first line in uwsgi.ini to
socket = 127.0.0.1:3031
Njoy smile
Let's discuss now…
