Nginx Gunicorn Ref Links

So, I looked up a lot of links while learning how to configure Gunicorn and Nginx for a Flask app I'm building. An article on the specifics of what I learnt will follow this one. This one focuses on the links and resources themselves -

First of all, you're probably asking - Why do I need Gunicorn and Nginx? That's what I looked up first as well.

Next, how to actually go about the whole process?

The obvious links: - https://gunicorn.org/#quickstart - https://www.linode.com/docs/web-servers/nginx/how-to-configure-nginx/ - http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html - https://www.fullstackpython.com/green-unicorn-gunicorn.html

Quora is generally useless nowadays but this was as a proper answer: - https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-differences-between-nginx-and-gunicorn/answer/Pramod-Lakshmanan

The architecture of Nginx is very well explained here: - http://www.aosabook.org/en/nginx.html

This link was really helpful - https://realpython.com/kickstarting-flask-on-ubuntu-setup-and-deployment/

Some Stackoverflow answers that helped: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11061788/correct-configuration-for-nginx-to-localhost - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43044659/what-is-the-purpose-of-using-nginx-with-gunicorn - [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30165746/nginx-return-301-vs-rewrite])https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30165746/nginx-return-301-vs-rewrite

What's next?

I want to hook up icinga to see if it's going to serve my monitoring purpose. I don't know anything about Icinga at the time of writing this note -

Note -

This link I accidentally found in the process explaining architectures of a lot of Open Source systems. This is pretty awesome.
