Application server

This was the application deployment project for our AirBnB clone. In this project, I configured Nginx on the web servers provided me by Holberton School to serve a WSGI Flask app running through Gunicorn. Additionally, I set up an Upstart script to keep the application running on server reboots.

Tasks 📃

  • 0. Set up development with Python

    • In this task, I configured the file web_flask/0-hello_route.py from my AirBnB_clone_v2 to serve content on the route /airbnb-onepage/, running on port 5000.

  • 1. Set up production with Gunicorn

    • This task involved setting up a production environment, installing and configuring Gunicorn to serve the same file from task 0.

  • 2. Serve a page with Nginx

    • 2-app_server-nginx_config: Nginx configuration file proxying requests on the route /airbnb-onepage/ to the Gunicorn app running on port 5000.

  • 3. Add a route with query parameters

    • 3-app_server-nginx_config: Nginx configuration file proxying requests on the route /airbnb-dynamic/number_odd_or_even/<int: num> to the Gunicorn app running on port 5000.

  • 4. Let's do this for your API

    • In this task, I configured the API from my AirBnB_clone_v3 to run on Gunicorn.
    • 4-app_server-nginx_config: Nginx configuration file that proxies requests on the AirBnB API to the corresponding Gunicorn app.

  • 5. Serve your AirBnB clone

    • In this task, I configured the complete AirBnB app from AirBnB_clone_v4 to run on Gunicorn and be served through Nginx.
    • 5-app_server-nginx_config: Nginx configuration file configured to serve the static assets from web_dynamic/static/ on the Gunicorn AirBnB app.

  • 6. Deploy it

    • gunicorn.conf: Configuration file for an Upstart script that starts a Gunicorn process bounded to port 5003 that serves the content from task 5.
    • The Gunicorn process spawns three worker processes and logs errors to /tmp/airbnb-error.log, access to /tmp/airbnb-access.log.

  • 7. No service interruption
