# Run ## in Development **only using flask; no Unicorn** `export FLASK_APP=run.py` `export FLASK_ENV=development` `flask run` **Using gunicorn:** `gunicorn --env SCRIPT_NAME=/watermark -w 4 -b 127.0.0.1:5000 app:app --log-level debug` * `-w` workers * `-b` bind to address / unix socker **And gunicorn with using unix sock:** (this how it should run in production) ` gunicorn --env SCRIPT_NAME=/watermark --workers 4 --bind unix:app.sock -m 007 app:app --log-level debug ## in Production with gunicorn and unix sockets Based on https://medium.com/faun/deploy-flask-app-with-nginx-using-gunicorn-7fda4f50066a ### systemd service file Add to /etc/systemd/system/watermarks.service ``` [Unit] After=network.target [Service] User=psc Group=www-data WorkingDirectory=/var/www/TacticalApp Environment="PATH=/var/www/TacticalApp/venv/bin" ExecStart=/var/www/TacticalApp/venv/bin/gunicorn --env SCRIPT_NAME=/watermarks --workers 4 --bind unix:app.sock -m 007 app:app [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` ## enable & start service file `systemctl enable watermarks.service` `systemctl start watermarks.service` It is also a good idea to check the status of the service `systemctl status watermarks.service` ## Nginx config ``` location / { # if using gunicorn with app sock, use: proxy_pass http://unix:/var/www/TacticalApp/app.sock; # if using gunicord with port 5000, use: proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000; } ``` ## debug. It might be helpful to enable gunicorn logging, while in development, to check what is going on, by replacing in watermarks.service, the `ExecStart=` value with: `ExecStart=/var/www/TacticalApp/venv/bin/gunicorn --log-level debug --error-logfile /var/www/TacticalApp/app.log --workers 4 --bind unix:app.sock -m 007 app:app` And reloading the services `systemctl daemon-reload` `systemctl restart watermarks.service` and the start following app.log: `tail -f /var/www/TacticalApp/app.log` But in the long run logging should be disabled ---- 09.06.2020 Handling url path /watermarks * gunicorn has to be started with argument `--env SCRIPT_NAME=/watermark` which defines its path: `gunicorn --env SCRIPT_NAME=/watermark --workers 4 --bind unix:app.sock -m 007 app:app --log-level debug` * allows for the following URLs * http://127.0.0.1/watermark * http://127.0.0.1/watermark/uploadbook * http://127.0.0.1/watermark/about * added page /test `watermark/test` for testing url_for() - correct * made urls relative * service file with `--env SCRIPT_NAME=/watermark` see above * gunicorn -w 4 -b :5000 app:app gunicorn -w 4 -b :5000 app:app #
