Deploy CherryPy Apps on AlmaLinux 9 with Nginx and SSL
AlmaLinux 9, an enterprise-grade Linux distribution, provides an ideal environment for deploying CherryPy applications with Nginx and SSL termination. This guide, written by Muhammad Arul, walks you through the process of setting up CherryPy on AlmaLinux 9, leveraging its secure, stable, and long-term supported platform.
Begin by provisioning a new AlmaLinux 9 VPS on a hosting provider like Shape.Host. Once connected, update the system and install Python and Nginx. Create a dedicated user and app directory, then set up a virtual environment and install CherryPy.
CherryPy is a minimalist, production-ready Python web framework with its own embedded HTTP server. It emphasizes simplicity, speed, and flexibility, allowing developers to design applications without enforcing strict patterns. CherryPy comes with built-in tools like session handling, caching, and static file serving, making it ideal for lightweight web services, APIs, and embedded Python applications.
Create a CherryPy application, test it manually, and then create a systemd service. Configure Nginx as a reverse proxy, adjust SELinux settings, and enable SSL with Let's Encrypt for secure communication.
By following this guide, you'll have a CherryPy application running on a secure, stable, and long-term supported AlmaLinux 9 platform, with Nginx handling SSL termination. This setup leverages AlmaLinux 9's features, including SELinux enforcement, systemd 252, OpenSSL 3, and Python 3.9, ensuring a robust environment for your web applications.
