obmarg/gunicorn repository overview

⁠Docker-gunicorn

A base Dockerfile for python web apps hosted with gunicorn.

⁠Instructions

This Dockerfile is meant to be used as a base for an applications Dockerfile.

The application Dockerfile should install the applications dependencies globally, create the application in /home/app (readable by the user app) and then setup some configuration environment variables.

An example application & Dockerfile can be found in the example folder of the github repository⁠.

The avaliable configuration variables are:

• APP_NAME - This is required, and should be the module_path:variable_name string of the WSGI application to start, as passed to gunicorn. The module path may use python dotted notation.
• APP_DIR - The directory the app is installed in. APP_NAME should be relative to this directory. This defaults ot /home/app.
• NUM_WORKERS - The number of workers to instruct gunicorn to start. This defaults to 4.
