Kevin ... What is the purpose of the reverse proxy in this setup?

The IBM i version of Apache does not ship with mod_wsgi so you'd have to
build it yourself and I don't think that's possible.

We typically recommend using [1]https://gunicorn.org/ with a reverse proxy
(can be done from Apache or NGINX). I wrote a STRTCPSVR plugin for
Gunicorn at
[2]https://github.com/OSSILE/OSSILE/tree/master/main/c_gunicorn_server.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [IBMiOSS] Python WSGI Server
Date: Thu, Apr 30, 2020 10:28 AM

We have a student group doing a Python based dashboard for us. I'm
getting the IBMi ready for a Flask based app so, I need a WSGI
container. This is new to me. It seems there are a variety of options
including mod_wsgi for Apache.

Two questions ...
1) Could anyone who has configured a WSGI container on the IBMi describe
for me what they used and, possibly, provide some links to
configuration?
2) Does anyone know of a good instruction set for configuring mod_wsgi
in Apache on the IBMi?

We already use Apache for some web applications so, I'm leaning that
directions. That said, I'm open to information about "better" options
and why they might be preferable.

Thanks.
