Run Python Code On Nginx
To run Python code on Nginx, you will need to use a web server gateway interface (WSGI) server, such as Gunicorn or uWSGI, to handle the Python code and interface with Nginx. Here's a general outline of the steps to run Python code on Nginx:
1. Install Nginx and Gunicorn:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install nginx gunicorn
2. Create a Python script, for example "app.py", that will be run on the server:
- def application(environ, start_response):
- status = '200 OK'
- output = b'Hello World!'
- response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
- ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
- start_response(status, response_headers)
- return [output]
3. Start Gunicorn on terminal to run the Python script:
- gunicorn app:application
4. Configure Nginx to act as a reverse proxy to Gunicorn by adding the
following to the Nginx configuration file, typically located at '/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
':
- server {
- listen 80;
- server_name example.com;
- location / {
- proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
- proxy_set_header Host $host;
- proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
- }
- }
5. Restart Nginx to apply the changes:
- sudo service nginx restart
With these steps, Nginx will act as a reverse proxy to Gunicorn, which
will run the Python script and serve the response to Nginx to be sent to
the client.
