How to deploy a server script?

What is the best way to deploy python Flask web application in a web server under ubuntu and what web server do you recommend?

  • I usually deploy my python app in GAE but a client wishes to deploy on their ubuntu server. Any good tutorials on deploying? Thank you in advanced

  • Answer:

    The Flask documentation has some great information on how to deploy using Fabric. I started with its suggestions and deployment has been a breeze. I've been running on apache but mostly because I have experience with it--I don't know the pros and cons of it vs nginx and others. http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/#deployment http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/fabric/

http://docs.fabfile.org/ is your friend. If you're used to GAE's push-button-deployment process, you can achieve the same using Flask. Fabric is essentially an alternative to writing shell scripts so you would write a deployment script that would, for example: 1. run tests on your local machine 2. ssh to remote server 3. backup current version of app 4. pull from git 5. pip install requirements 6. restart your wsgi server (apache, gunicorn etc) 7. restart your static files server (nginx) You can stick this in a single Fabric action and deploy like this: # fab deploy_dev
