Replacing python manage.py runserver with gunicorn

[anjanesh]

Our current setup on prod is as follows :
Ubuntu 20.04
Nginx as HTTP server

sudo service myProject start

service myProject is basically

[Unit]
Description=myProject project
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/myProject
Environment="PATH=/var/www/myProject/env/bin/activate"
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'source /var/www/myProject/env/bin/activate && python manage.py runserver'
StandardOutput=append:/var/log/myProject/myProject.log
StandardError=append:/var/log/myProject/myProject_error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Ho do I replace my myProject service with gunicorn ?

If you install Gunicorn via Pip you get a binary in your venv directory. Therefore: ExecStart=/var/www/myProject/env/bin/gunicorn

Everythin else you need, you may find in the documentation

NOTE: You should not put your project in the var directory. Create a user for your project and put it in the home directory of said user.

You should not put your project in the var directory. Create a user for your project and put it in the home directory of said user.

Since this is on a private network and no more ubuntu users, it was setup like this from the beginning. But I wanted to change from runserver to gunicorn.
