+ I want to do it myself, the way I like it.. +

+ +Serving python scripts is slightly different than serving html or php, here’s a scheme that shows what happens when using python (flask in this example) to serve some web content. + + +
+
a simple scheme of how python scripts are served on the web.
+
+ +As you can see the web server is acting as a reverse proxy to the [WSGI][2] server Gunicorn, Apache receives a request from a client, forwards the request to Gunicorn which in turn asks the python web service, in our case our flask web app. Other than as a reverse proxy, apache is used also to serve static content which is not originated in python, like images, css or js scripts. + +In order to deploy a python web app I had to install the mod_wsgi extension for apache, then I decided to use a folder in my system to install the virtual environment for python to run my web app and point to that directory in my vhost configuration file inside apache. After that I created a directory where to store all files for my web app and instructed apache to serve them using the virtualenv I created earlier. This is more or less what I did: + +
# create the virtual environment for python inside
# the folder /usr/local/virtualenvs/my-app:
virtualenv /usr/local/virtualenvs/my-app

# now create the directory inside the apache root
# to store our web app
mkdir /var/www/htdocs/my-app
+ +Now if we put all the py files for our flask web app we can run it inside apache, this is the configuration for the vhost I used: + +
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName my-app.mysite.ext
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/my-app.error_log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/my-app.access_log" common
    WSGIDaemonProcess my-app user=apache group=apache threads=5 python-home=/usr/local/virtualenvs/my-app
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/htdocs/my-app/my-app.wsgi
    WSGIProcessGroup my-app
    Alias "/static/" "/var/www/htdocs/my-app/static/"
    <Directory "/var/www/htdocs/my-app/static/">
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory "/var/www/htdocs/my-app/">
            Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

+ +With this setting I can now reach my web app and test it after restarting the web server. + + [1]: https://danix.xyz/2018/07/git-setup-own-server/ + [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Server_Gateway_Interface \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
