ASGI

While uMap has been historically deployed using the WSGI specification, there is now an experimental ASGI endpoint. This will be the way to deploy uMap to use the live collaborative editing feature, which needs websockets.

Nginx

When using ASGI, the nginx, the / entrypoint should be:

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_pass http://umap/;
}

Uvicorn

Uvicorn must be installed in the umap virtualenv:

/path/to/umap/venv/bin/pip install uvicorn

And could then be run like this:

/path/to/umap/venv/bin/uvicorn \
--proxy-headers \
--uds /srv/umap/umap.sock \
--no-access-log \
umap.asgi:application

Systemd

Here is an example service to manage uvicorn with systemd:

[Unit]
Description=umap
After=network.target
Requires=postgresql.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=umap

WorkingDirectory=/srv/umap/
PrivateTmp=true

EnvironmentFile=/srv/umap/env

ExecStart=/srv/umap/venv/bin/uvicorn \
    --proxy-headers \
    --uds /srv/umap/uvicorn.sock \
    --no-access-log \
    umap.asgi:application
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP ${MAINPID}
RestartSec=1
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then to install it and enable it, copy it to /etc/systemd/system/umap.service and run:

sudo systemctl enable umap.service

Env

Uvicorn can be configured from env vars, for example to define the number of workers:

UVICORN_WORKERS=4
