Devops Setup Notes

Changed run method for uwsgi - see commit, it needs a root level app, but the command line port options still remain Using the docs https://stluc.manta.uqcloud.net/xlex/public/zones-guide.html#pythonuwsgi_django_flask_etc

On the server

• Install Python3.8, use this guide and use 3.8.2, 3.8.5 is broken for some reason 😢
• python3 -m pipenv install

Enable uwsgi

• webprojctl enable uwsgi
• uwsgi config location = /etc/uwsgi/uwsgi.ini

Setting up the python virtual env - We need to force the location of the python virtual environment because local user setup breaks system processes

• virtualenv -p $(which python3.8) /var/www/uwsgi/.venv
• VIRTUAL_ENV=/var/www/uwsgi/.venv python3 -m pipenv install

Then in the uwsgi.ini add at the end of the first block

• "virtualenv = /var/www/uwsgi/.venv"
