Websocket Server Example

Nathan Schwermann

Requires python, tornado, and nginx

pip install tornado

python sockets.py

Visit the webpage demo at http://localhost/list using the NGINX site configuration below (it is possible to use without nginx but sockets.py will need to be tweaked to load static files)

upstream tornado {
  server 127.0.0.1:8888;
}

server {
  listen 80 default; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
  #listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

  root /var/www;
  index index.html index.htm index.php;

  # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
  server_name localhost;

  location / {
    # First attempt to serve request as file, then
    # as directory, then fall back to index.html
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
    # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
  }

  location /list/static/{

  }

  location /list {
    root /var/www/list/;
    if ($query_string) {
      expires max;
    }
    proxy_pass http://tornado;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_pass_header Server;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
  }

  location /doc/ {
    alias /usr/share/doc/;
    autoindex on;
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    deny all;
  }

}

The following supervisor configuration can be used to keep the tornado instance running

[program:tornado]
command=python /var/www/list/sockets.py
stdout_logfile=/var/www/list/log.txt
redirect_stderr=true
