Django waitress- How to run it in Daemon Mode
To run Django with Waitress in daemon mode, you can use the python-daemon
library along with Waitress. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Install the required packages:
shellpip install waitress python-daemon
Create a script file, such as
run_server.py
, with the following content:pythonimport daemon
from waitress import serve
from myproject.wsgi import application
with daemon.DaemonContext():
serve(application, host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
In this example,
myproject.wsgi
should be replaced with the path to your project's WSGI application.Start the server in daemon mode:
shellpython run_server.py
This will start the Waitress server in the background as a daemon process.
By using the python-daemon
library, the server process will detach from the terminal and continue running in the background. You can customize the server settings in the run_server.py
script according to your requirements, such as specifying the host and port to listen on.
Please note that running a server in daemon mode is typically more suitable for production deployments. In development or testing environments, it's common to run the server in the foreground to see console output and error messages directly.
