ConfigLogic.rst

Configuration logic

Starting from 1.1 certain logic constructs are available.

The following statements are currently supported:

• for .. endfor
• if-dir / if-not-dir
• if-env / if-not-env
• if-exists / if-not-exists
• if-file / if-not-file
• if-opt / if-not-opt
• if-reload / if-not-reload -- undocumented

Each of these statements exports a context value you can access with the special placeholder %(_). For example, the "for" statement sets %(_) to the current iterated value.

Warning

Recursive logic is not supported and will cause uWSGI to promptly exit.

for

For iterates over space-separated strings. The following three code blocks are equivalent.

[uwsgi]
master = true
; iterate over a list of ports
for = 3031 3032 3033 3034 3035
socket = 127.0.0.1:%(_)
endfor =
module = helloworld

<uwsgi>
  <master/>
  <for>3031 3032 3033 3034 3035</for>
    <socket>127.0.0.1:%(_)</socket>
  <endfor/>
  <module>helloworld</module>
</uwsgi>

uwsgi --for="3031 3032 3033 3034 3035" --socket="127.0.0.1:%(_)" --endfor --module helloworld

Note that the for-loop is applied to each line inside the block separately, not to the block as a whole. For example, this:

[uwsgi]
for = a b c
socket = /var/run/%(_).socket
http-socket = /var/run/%(_)-http.socket
endfor =

is expanded to:

[uwsgi]
socket = /var/run/a.socket
socket = /var/run/b.socket
socket = /var/run/c.socket
http-socket = /var/run/a-http.socket
http-socket = /var/run/b-http.socket
http-socket = /var/run/c-http.socket

if-env

Check if an environment variable is defined, putting its value in the context placeholder.

[uwsgi]
if-env = PATH
print = Your path is %(_)
check-static = /var/www
endif =
socket = :3031

if-exists

Check for the existence of a file or directory. The context placeholder is set to the filename found.

[uwsgi]
http = :9090
; redirect all requests if a file exists
if-exists = /tmp/maintenance.txt
route = .* redirect:/offline
endif =

Note

The above example uses :doc:`InternalRouting`.

if-file

Check if the given path exists and is a regular file. The context placeholder is set to the filename found.

<uwsgi>
  <plugins>python</plugins>
  <http-socket>:8080</http-socket>
  <if-file>settings.py</if-file>
    <module>django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler()</module>
  <endif/>
</uwsgi>

if-dir

Check if the given path exists and is a directory. The context placeholder is set to the filename found.

uwsgi:
  socket: 4040
  processes: 2
  if-dir: config.ru
  rack: %(_)
  endif:

if-opt

Check if the given option is set, or has a given value. The context placeholder is set to the value of the option reference.

To check if an option was set, pass just the option name to if-opt.

uwsgi:
  cheaper: 3
  if-opt: cheaper
  print: Running in cheaper mode, with initially %(_) processes
  endif:

To check if an option was set to a specific value, pass option-name=value to if-opt.

uwsgi:
  # Set busyness parameters if it was chosen
  if-opt: cheaper-algo=busyness
  cheaper-busyness-max: 25
  cheaper-busyness-min: 10
  endif:

Due to the way uWSGI parses its configs, you can only refer to options that uWSGI has previously seen. In particular, this means:

• Only options that are set above the if-opt option are taken into account. This includes any options set by previous include (or type specific includes like ini) options, but does not include options set by previous inherit options).

• if-opt is processed after expanding magic variables, but before expanding placeholders and other variables. So if you use if-opt to compare the value of an option, check against the value as stated in the config file, with only the magic variables filled in.

  If you use the context placeholder %(_) inside the if-opt block, you should be ok: any placeholders will later be expanded.

• If an option is specified multiple times, only the value of the first one will be seen by if-opt.

• Only explicitly set values will be seen, not implicit defaults.
