Setup uWSGI as webserver with pyramid (no NGINX)
pyramid, uwsgi
Solution
I am using pyramid_mongodb scaffold, which I have modified to get it working on python3. See here for details. Assuming that we have a Pyramid project (created with `pcreate -s pyramid_mongodb MyProject`). Here are the uWSGI configurations needed in development/production.ini
[uwsgi]
http = 0.0.0.0:8080
#http-to /tmp/uwsgi.sock - use this for standalone mode
#socket = :9050
master = true
processes = 2
harakiri = 60
harakiri-verbose = true
limit-post = 65536
post-buffering = 8192
daemonize = ./uwsgi.log
pidfile = ./orange_uwsgi.pid
listen = 128
max-requests = 1000
reload-on-as = 128
reload-on-rss = 96
no-orphans = true
#logto= <log file>
log-slow = true
virtualenv = <path to virtual environment>
#file = /path/to/pyramid.wsgi
#callable = application
need-app = true
Also since we are using uWSGI we can comment out `server` portion from the ini
#[server:main]
#use = egg:waitress#main
#host = 0.0.0.0
#port = 6544
To run the server use `uwsgi --ini-paste development.ini`
Problem
Most of the available tutorials show how to set up uWSGI with an upstream HTTP server (like NGINX). But uWSGI alone can act beautifully as router/proxy/load-balancer - refer this For my project, I didn't want to setup NGINX at this moment so I started off exploring the option of serving webpages through uWSGI. The answer here shows how to set it up with Pyramid.
