uWSGI VirtualHosting Mode

By default you can run multiple apps in the same process using different SCRIPT_NAME vars or with uwsgi protocol modifiers.

WARNING this operational mode is for hosting a minimal amount of sites, it is a very complex way of doing thing and highly insecure if you do not trust your apps. The best way for hosting multiple apps in a secure way is having one instace per application (you can use the Emperor for managing multiple instances)

From version 0.9.6 you can use the SERVER_NAME var to load multiple apps.

This is the VirtualHosting mode, to enable it simply add the --vhost option to the command line (or xml or environment vars)

./uwsgi -s :3031 -M -p 4 --vhost

Dynamic apps

You can use VirtualHosting mode with DynamicApps

server {
        listen       8080;
        server_name  localhost;
        location / {
                uwsgi_pass 192.168.173.5:3031;
                include uwsgi_params;
                uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT mymako;
                uwsgi_param UWSGI_PYHOME /Users/roberto/uwsgi/VENV1;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen       8080;
        server_name  mrspurr.local;
        location / {
                uwsgi_pass 192.168.173.5:3031;
                include uwsgi_params;
                uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCRIPT mytrac;
                uwsgi_param UWSGI_PYHOME /Users/roberto/uwsgi/VENV2;
        }

        location /arm {
                uwsgi_pass 192.168.173.14:3031;
                include uwsgi_params;
        }
    }

As we want to use DynamicVirtualenv we will add the --no-site option to uWSGI

./uwsgi -s :3031 -M -p 4 --vhost --no-site

Static apps

You can use you uwsgi entrypoint module to define virtualhosts:

import uwsgi

def app1(env, start_response):
    ...

def app2(env, start_response):
    ...

uwsgi.applications = {'unbit.it|': app1, 'localhost|/ciao': app2}

The syntax is the same as SCRIPT_NAME only configurations, you have to simply add the domain name to the dictionary key (using a pipe to split it from the SCRIPT_NAME)
