uWSGI is a software that can be used to serve Python web applications, written in a variety of frameworks and web servers. This tutorial will guide you on how to install uWSGI on your Ubuntu server.
Before you start, ensure that you have the following:
To update all the installed packages and upgrade the system, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
To install uWSGI, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip libpcre3-dev
To download uWSGI from GitHub, you need to clone their repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/
This would create a directory called uwsgi in your current directory. Change the working directory into it:
cd uwsgi
To install uWSGI, you need to build it first. Run the following command:
sudo docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)":/src unbit/uwsgi_builder:python3.8-alpine3.14 make
This will compile the code and create an executable file called uwsgi. The --rm option will delete the container automatically after the build is complete.
After building and installing uWSGI, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
./uwsgi --version
This should print the version of uWSGI you have installed.
After following these steps, you will have uWSGI installed and ready to use on your Ubuntu server. uWSGI can be used to serve Python applications, and it is also used as an application container for various Python applications.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
