Usage

Add the default uWSGI recipe to install uwsgi through pip. Define a uWSGI service with a definition like so:

uwsgi_service "myapp" do
  home_path "/var/www/app"
  pid_path "/var/run/uwsgi-app.pid"
  host "127.0.0.1"
  port 8080
  worker_processes 2
  app "flask:app"
end

You can also use a preexisting uWSGI configuration like so:

uwsgi_service "myapp" do
  home_path "/var/www/app"
  pid_path "/var/run/uwsgi-app.pid"
  config_path "/etc/uwsgi/myapp.yaml"
  config_type :yaml
end
