Nginx setup
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
You need to have followed the :doc:`easy install <./easy_install>` first.
|
|
|
|
Nginx is a very popular choice to serve a Python project:
|
|
|
|
- It's fast.
|
|
- It's lightweight.
|
|
- Configuration files are simple.
|
|
|
|
If you have your own server, it's the best choice. If not, try the
|
|
:doc:`easiest setup <./easy_install>`, or the :doc:`Apache <./apache_install>` setup.
|
|
|
|
Nginx doesn't run any Python process, it only serve requests from outside to
|
|
the Python server.
|
|
|
|
Therefor there are two steps:
|
|
|
|
- Run the Python process.
|
|
- Run Nginx.
|
|
|
|
You will benefit from having:
|
|
|
|
- the possibility to have several projects listening to the port 80;
|
|
- several Apache module at your disposal (like requests throttling);
|
|
- Apache robustness in front end: it's secure, and there is much less chance
|
|
it will crash under heavy load;
|
|
- your web site processes won't run with admin rights, even if --user doesn't
|
|
work on your OS;
|
|
- the ability to manage a Python process without touching Nginx or the other
|
|
processes. It's very handy for updates.
|
|
|
|
The Python process
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Run 0bin as usual, but this time make it listen to a local port and host. E.G::
|
|
|
|
zerobin --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
|
|
|
|
In PHP, when you edit a file, the changes are immediately visible. In Python,
|
|
the whole code is often loaded in memory for performance reasons. This means
|
|
you have to restart the Python process to see the changes effect. Having a
|
|
separate process let you do this without having to restart the server.
|
|
|
|
Nginx
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Nginx can be installed with you usual package manager, so we won't cover
|
|
installing it.
|
|
|
|
Vous must create a Nginx configuration file for 0bin. On GNU/Linux, they usually
|
|
go into /etc/nginx/conf.d/. Name it zerobin.conf.
|
|
|
|
The minimal configuration file to run the site is::
|
|
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 80;
|
|
server_name www.yourwebsite.com;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
`proxy_pass` just passes the external request to the Python process.
|
|
The port much match the one used by the 0bin process of course.
|
|
|
|
You can make some adjustements to get a better user experience::
|
|
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 80;
|
|
server_name www.yourwebsite.com;
|
|
|
|
location /favicon.ico {
|
|
root /path/to/zerobin/static/img;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
location /static/ {
|
|
root /path/to/zerobin;
|
|
gzip on;
|
|
gzip_http_version 1.0;
|
|
gzip_vary on;
|
|
gzip_comp_level 6;
|
|
gzip_proxied any;
|
|
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
|
|
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
|
|
# Disable gzip for certain browsers.
|
|
gzip_disable ~@~\MSIE [1-6].(?!.*SV1)~@~];
|
|
expires modified +90d;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://zerobin_cherrypy;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This make Nginx serve the favicon and static files, set the expire HTTP headers
|
|
and make sure gzip compression is used with browsers that support it.
