There have been reported problems with uwsgi: http://lists.unbit.it/pipermail/uwsgi/2015-July/008104.html

We should make sure it works and document it. For mod_wsgi we can borrow & simplify from our forge-allura.apache.org setup.

Once done, it'll help with our [#7908] docker setup.

    uwsgi --ini-paste-logged development.ini --http 0.0.0.0:8080 -H /path/to/allura/venv
uwsgi --http 0.0.0.0:8080 --wsgi-file allura.wsgi  # if we have a .wsgi file, which we probably should.

    For gunicorn, you must be in the virtualenv.

    gunicorn --paste development.ini -b 0.0.0.0:8080

    Running it as a wsgi app would need a bit more work, since the wsgi app must be import-able not some arbitrary allura.wsgi file

    gunicorn allura.wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:50097

    mod_wsgi-express has a paste option, regular apache+mod_wsgi requires a .wsgi file and a webserver config using WSGIScriptAlias etc.

    mod_wsgi-express start-server development.ini --application-type paste --user allura --group allura --port 8080  # user/group required, if running as root
mod_wsgi-express start-server allura.wsgi --user allura --group allura --port 8080

    waitress would require a wsgi callable

    waitress-serve --port 8080 myapp:wsgi

    Or it can run with paster, but kind of an inverse setup. Change use = egg:Paste#http in the .ini file to use = egg:waitress#main and then run "paster serve"

    It would be nice to provide a wsgi callable, so that all servers can interface with it and also we could hide the paste setup within that and be able to seamlessly swap it out some day. But for now it seems we don't really need it.

    I think we should use gunicorn since it is simpler to configure than uwsgi (which has multiple installation options, and tons of plugins and config options). We can even recommend using gunicorn --reload for development instead of paster serve. mod_wsgi-express installation requires having apache dev libs installed
