Docker image with uWSGI and Nginx for applications in Python (as Flask) in a single container.
Overview:
The tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx Docker image combines uWSGI and Nginx to facilitate running Python web applications, particularly Flask and Django, in a single container. This setup is commonly used in the industry for deploying web applications and can provide decent performance.
Features:
- Supported tags: Includes tags for various Python versions from 3.7 to 3.11.
- Base image: Designed to be the base image for tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask but can be used for any other WSGI-based Python web applications.
- Performance considerations: Recommends newer ASGI frameworks like FastAPI for improved performance over WSGI-based frameworks like Flask and Django.
Summary:
The tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx Docker image provides a convenient setup for deploying Python web applications using uWSGI and Nginx in a single container. While it offers good performance for WSGI-based frameworks like Flask and Django, the recommendation is to consider newer ASGI frameworks like FastAPI for significantly improved performance, especially for projects starting anew.
