I'm looking to use Nginx as the server and CherryPy framework on a linux server. I'm not looking to use Nginx as a reverse-proxy. I am moving away from PHP to python and i have a lot of cherrypy apps.
CherryPy wiki states that "CherryPy can be a web server itself or one can launch it via any WSGI compatible environment" I do not want to use the server part of cherrypy just the framework.
Does anybody know how to configure Nginx WSGI to use CheryPy?
You can use uwsgi for serve the cherry application.

I cannot figure out how to set my next js project to run on HTTPS.
I am using Next 12.3 and deploying on AWS EC2. I have my SSL sertificates and all ports are open. What should I do to run it like that?
P.S.
All the answers that I've found are about running on HTTPS during the development.
Some people even claimed that it is not natively supported by Next. Is this true?
If you setup nginx, this becomes extremely easy.
You can handle the SSL part in nginx and run your NextJS server normally and you will have a server running on HTTPS.
See Configuring HTTPS servers for setting up Nginx.
I am trying to understand the entire web/framework/application stack when installing ASP.NET 5 on Linux.
All the instructions I have read, including this one haven't really answered my question:
Why can't Nginx server work without Kestrel like here: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/web/fastcgi/nginx/ ?
Or am I way off. I'm trying to understand what the reason is for this structure:
.NET Core(or mono) --> Kestrel --> Nginx
Isn't Kestrel just another web server like Nginx but with a lot less features?
ASP.NET Core (ASP.Net 5) doesn't require Kestrel!
You're right, Kestrel is just a simple HTTP server with a small set of features. You can run ASP.NET Core without Kestrel on Linux or Mac, but you must either have an HTTP server or a fastCGI server.
Nginx is used as a reverse proxy for static contents in general and you can also enable gzip compression on your dynamic content. Kestrel doesn't have this feature.
You can also write your own HTTP server with the specific HTTP features you need (HTTP2 for example).
Necromancing.
Yes, it does in fact require Kestrell.
As Agua says, theoretically, it could also be run on some other http-server than Kestrell, one that can run .NET Core, or via FastCGI.
However, AFAIK, Kestrell is the only http-server currently in existance that can actually do that.
And because AFAIK, a FastCGI-server/library written in .NET Core doesn't (yet) exist.
Right now, if you want to use .NET Core with nginx or Apache, all you can do is to reverse-proxy requests to kestrell.
I need to host a java application on an NGINX server instead of on Tomcat7(current configuration), as the application is just a light-weight parser working as a data acquisition service for a sensor based device.
I know that deployment of war files is no-go on NGINX,so please suggest steps to port the application server from Tomcat7 to NGINX.
Jetty might be the option.
As far as I see it requires no code rewriting, just unpacking the .war file you already have.
I manually installed Artifactory(V 2.6) on my centos and am using it with its own standalone jetty container. I use artifactoryctl start to start it and now I can access it using http://myhostname:8081/artifactory.
What is the best and easy way to put this behind https now?
Note: It will be nice if I can have both http and https access.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Please upgrade to the latest Artifactory version.
Starting Artifactory 3, it comes with embedded Tomcat, please refer to the official Tomcat documentation on how to configure SSL on Tomcat.
Another option might be configuring Artifactory behind Apache or Ngnix HTTP servers. In this case, Artifactory user guide provides documentation on how to configure ssl for the former and for the later.
I usually run my Flask applications with uWSGI and an nginx in front of it.
But I was thinking that the same could be achieved with just supervisor and nginx, so I googled around and found a lot of posts on how to setup and the benefits of the uWSGI-supervisor-nginx stack. I've decided to turn to SO, risking getting axed online for such a question.
So what are the benefits of running a Flask application behind uWSGI, supervisor and nginx?
Why does apparently no one run Flask applications with only supervisor?
An app server such as gnicorn or uWSGI (used to host the flask applications) is used with nginx. nginx is a reverse proxy server which acts as a middleman. This helps with load balancing - handling multiples requests efficiently by distributing workloads over the resources. On top of this, supervisor is just used to monitor and control the server processes (gunicorn or uWSGI in our example).
From my understanding, the web server that comes with Flask (werkzeug server) is not production ready and should be used for development purposes only.
It's all about performance. Usually servers build into frameworks like Flask or Django are design for development environment, when you can quickly and easily reload code which you changed.
When you are running your application in production environment you don't have to worry about debugging and reloading your code often. Your biggest concerns are performance, security and configuration. During setting up production environment you can choose between uWSGI, Gunicorn , mod_wsgi and many others.
You can find plenty of blog posts with benchmarks between them and choose one which works best for you.
