Using a Unix Socket to Connect Apache to a uWSGI Indico Application

Hi,

Is it advisable to use a Unix domain socket to connect Apache with a uWSGI Indico application in a production environment?

Thank you!

I think it’s mostly a matter of preference. As long as you have a proper setup, it doesn’t really make much of a difference.

For me the main advantage is that it uses standard Linux access control and is local only, so you cannot accidentally expose it to the outside like you could with a normal TCP/IP socket.
