Docker Apache WSGI – An Introduction

by | Mar 15, 2023

Here is a quick look at how to integrate Apache and Docker via WSGI. Our Docker Support team is here to help you with your questions and concerns.

Docker Apache WSGI

Docker is a well-known platform that is used for building, shipping, as well as running distributed applications in containers. Apache is an open-source web server that serves static and dynamic content over HTTP.

On the other hand, WSGI is a standard interface between web servers and Python applications.

Docker Apache WSGI

When we combine Docker, Apache, and WSGI, it results in a powerful platform that can deploy and scale Python web applications. In other words, we can use Docker to containerize our application and Apache to serve it over HTTP, resulting in a portable and scalable infrastructure that can run on any platform.

In order to combine Docker with Apache and WSGI, we have to create a Dockerfile that defines the environment for our application. According to our experts, this includes installing Apache, Python, and other modules or libraries. We can then build an image of our application with Docker. This can be then deployed and run in a container.

After we have a Docker image, we can use Apache to serve our Python web application over HTTP.

This is where WSGI comes in handy. We have to set up a WSGI script that is used by Apache to interface with our Python code.

Although the exact steps for setting up Docker, Apache, and WSGI depend on the specific application and environment, here are a few general steps:

  1. To begin with, we have to create a Dockerfile.
  2. Next, we have to build a Docker image of our application.
  3. After that, we must create a Docker container from the image.
  4. Now, we will install Apache inside the Docker container.
  5. Next, we must configure Apache to serve your Python application via WSGI.
  6. Then, we must create a WSGI script to import our Python application and expose it to Apache.
  7. Finally, it is time to test the setup by accessing the application via Apache over HTTP.
