21.3. Deploy Nginx and uWSGI

• File socket: server unix:///data/myproject/myproject.sock;

• TCP socket: server 127.0.0.1:8000;

• File sockets are a bit faster and can be more secure (no TCP overhead)

21.3.1. Nginx

File /etc/nginx/conf/myproject.conf:

upstream django {
    server unix:///data/myproject/myproject.sock;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com www.example.com;
    charset utf-8;
    client_max_body_size 75M;  # max upload size

    location /media  {
        alias /data/myproject/media;
    }

    location /static {
        alias /data/myproject/static;
    }

    location / {
        uwsgi_pass django;
    }
}

21.3.2. uWSGI

File /etc/uwsgi/config.ini:

[uwsgi]
master = true
processes = 10
vacuum = true  # clear environment on exit

socket = /data/myproject/myproject.sock
chmod-socket = 664

chdir = /data/myproject/
module = myproject.wsgi

home = /data/myproject/venv-py312
