Nginx can serve as a great proxy for Django apps. Here’s how to configure it for a Django site.
Install Requirements
Install Nginx and Python on Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx python3-pip python3-venv
Clone Sample App
We’ll use the django_web_sample app:
git clone https://github.com/ServerGuyFluxx/django_web_sample.git /var/www/django_web_sample
Set Up Virtual Environment
Create a Python virtual environment:
python3 -m venv /var/www/django_web_sample/myenv
source /var/www/django_web_sample/myenv/bin/activate
pip install -r /var/www/django_web_sample/requirements.txt
Configure Gunicorn
Create a gunicorn.service file:
nano /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service
[Unit]
Description=Gunicorn daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/django_web_sample
ExecStart=/var/www/django_web_sample/myenv/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/var/www/django_web_sample/django_web_sample.sock django_web_sample.wsgi:application
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Configure Nginx
Update /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default`
add following
server {
listen 80;
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/var/www/django_web_sample/django_web_sample.sock;
}
}
finally restart and enable services
# Reload systemd daemon
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# Enable gunicorn service
sudo systemctl enable gunicorn
# Start gunicorn
sudo systemctl start gunicorn
# Restart Nginx
sudo service nginx restart
