In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing uWSGI. The universal Web Server Gateway Interface (uWSGI) is a web application server that can serve web applications and services over various protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, FastCGI, and more. It is widely used in Python web development and other web servers like Nginx and Apache.
Before installing uWSGI, it is necessary to ensure that you have the following:
Before you install uWSGI, you need to install some of its dependencies. Enter the following command to get started:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install gcc python3-dev python3-pip
This command will update the package list and install additional packages required by uWSGI.
Now, let's proceed with the installation of uWSGI using pip3, a package manager for Python3. Run the following command to install uWSGI:
sudo pip3 install uwsgi
This command will download uWSGI, its dependencies and install them on your system.
To test the installation of uWSGI, you can run a simple Python application. Create a Python file named hello.py with the following content:
def application(env, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]
start_response(status, headers)
return [b"Hello World!"]
Now, to run this application, execute the following command:
uwsgi --http :8080 --wsgi-file hello.py
This command will launch a uWSGI server on port 8080, and you can access it by visiting http://localhost:8080.
Congratulation! You have successfully installed and tested uWSGI on your Debian system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install uWSGI on Debian Latest, its dependencies and test its installation by running a simple Python application. If you want to learn more about uWSGI and its capabilities, we recommend visiting the official uWSGI documentation.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
