WSGI or similar deployment with Nginx

[chlarsen]

Dear All,
I have successfully installed Radicale 0.8, and am very impressed swith its size, speed and functionality. I managed to get somewhat better performance by disabling DNS lookups, und use LDAP at Radicale application level for user authentication. The whole thing sits behind an Nginx reverse proxy. While I am patiently waiting for the PostgreSQL backend to work proprely (hopefully with the next stable release?), I got stuck with donig any further (accelerating) magic with WSGI (or FastCGI) and Nginx. An documentation? Alternative, I have used gunicorn with great success in the Django domain- could this work here instead: Radicale -> Gunicorn -> Nginx reverse proxy?
Thanks a lot for this terrific peice of software, and your kind assistance.
Chris

I managed to have it working with uWSGI. You need to use the radicale.wsgi entry point, which is present in the git tree, but not in the easy_install/pip package. Clone the git repo, and put something like this in your uwsgi config file

wsgi-file       = /<path to cloned radicale directory>/radicale.wsgi

There is no really need for documentation, since it follows python's wsgi conventions, but .wsgi should be shipped with the easy_install/pip package. The Radicale team told me they are working on it.

can you paste here complete radicale.ini config for uwsgi?

thanks,

@chlarsen i'm running Radicale in a virtualenv behind gunicorn behind nginx, works well :)
