Setting up uWSGI + nginx

I've spent some time recently converting from using PHP to using Django for my web applications. As a result, I'm migrating from apache2 (to be totally fair, it does have wsgi support, but I'd rather re-design using the latest fad) to nginx and uWSGI.

So, here's some notes to myself on setting it up again.

uwsgi has an issue with --plugins python, use "python27" instead. It's my hunch it's because of a symlink.

Set up a static alias to link django static resources into

Invocation of uwsgi is below

Run uwsgi as "www" user, who's home is in /srv/www

The tools I used in place of daemontools is on my github. Revisit this.

Given

SRV="/srv/www/uwsgi" DATA="$SRV/app/$APP" SOCK="$SRV/sock/$APP.sock"

Invocation

exec uwsgi \ --plugins python27 \ --chdir $DATA/.. \ --socket $SOCK \ --chmod-socket \ -wsgi ./$APP/django_wsgi.py

I wrote some tools to daemonize this, but I have a hunch daemontools might be better.
