How to use Django with Gunicorn
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: bash
|
|
|
|
Gunicorn_ ('Green Unicorn') is a pure-Python WSGI server for UNIX. It has no
|
|
dependencies and is easy to install and use.
|
|
|
|
.. _Gunicorn: http://gunicorn.org/
|
|
|
|
Installing Gunicorn
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Installing gunicorn is as easy as ``sudo pip install gunicorn``. For more
|
|
details, see the `gunicorn documentation`_.
|
|
|
|

Running Django in Gunicorn as a generic WSGI application
|
|
========================================================
|
|
|
|
When Gunicorn is installed, a ``gunicorn`` command is available which starts
|
|
the Gunicorn server process. At its simplest, gunicorn just needs to be called
|
|
with the location of a WSGI application object.::
|
|
|
|
gunicorn [OPTIONS] APP_MODULE
|
|
|
|
Where ``APP_MODULE`` is of the pattern ``MODULE_NAME:VARIABLE_NAME``. The
|
|
module name should be a full dotted path. The variable name refers to a WSGI
|
|
callable that should be found in the specified module.
|
|
|
|
So for a typical Django project, invoking gunicorn would look like::
|
|
|
|
gunicorn myproject.wsgi:application
|
|
|
|
(This requires that your project be on the Python path; the simplest way to
|
|
ensure that is to run this command from the same directory as your
|
|
``manage.py`` file.)
|
|
|
|
See Gunicorn's `deployment documentation`_ for additional tips.
