Solved Start uwsgi at system boot

[Farhan Khan]

I am trying to build a VM "appliance" that will be running uwsgi/Django. This uses a python virtualenv, so uwsgi only starts when within that virtualenv. When I try to run it outside of a virtualenv, I get this error:

$ uwsgi config.ini

Set PythonHome to /usr/home/axial/venv/
ImportError: No module named site

Within the virtualenv, I have the 'site' module installed, but it still fails.

Is there a way to run uwsgi when outside of a virtualenv? If not, is there a way to initialize a virtualenv from within the startup script only for the script?

My very simple config.ini is as follows:

[uwsgi]
socket = 127.0.0.1:3031
wsgi-file = /usr/home/user/axial/axial/wsgi.py
workers = 1
virtualenv = /usr/home/user/venv/
pythonpath = /usr/home/user/venv/bin/python3

Figured it out. uwsgi from the packages is for python2, not python3.
You have to recompile it from the ports.
I set the following in /etc/make.conf:

PYTHON_VERSION=python3.6
PYTHON_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.6
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python=python3.6 python2=2.7 python3=3.6

Then I did cd /usr/ports/www/uwsgi && make install clean and it worked!

Then I did cd /usr/ports/www/uwsgi && make install clean and it worked!

Thanks for this. Apparently this process has recently been changed to require:

make install FLAVOR=py36

Indeed. Thanks to the recent changes you don't even have to build uwsgi from ports now to use it with Python 3.6. Just pkg install uwsgi-py36 will do.
