uwsgi

Create /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/foo.ini

[uwsgi]
# Or `plugin = python` for Python 2
plugin = python3
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
# If the app runs in a virtualenv:
virtualenv = /opt/sites/foo/venv
# If you need to setup environment variables:
env = MY_VAR=a_value
manage-script-name = True
chdir = /opt/sites/foo
mount = /foo=main:app

Then create a symlink to enable the app:

cd /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/foo.ini

Try manually:

sudo uwsgi --http-socket :9999 --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/foo.ini

Point your browser to http://yourhost:9999.

nginx conf

Can go in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default for example

# Declare the foo app
upstream foo {
    server unix:///var/run/uwsgi/app/foo/socket;
}
server {
    # ...
    # To serve /foo/ with $name
    location /foo/ {
        uwsgi_pass foo;
        include uwsgi_params;
    }
    # To serve files in /opt/sites/foo/static as /foo/static/
    location /foo/static/ {
        root /opt/sites;
    }
}

Start

sudo service uwsgi start
sudo service nginx start
