WSGI Lithium

A lightweight and dumb HTTP to WSGI server that relies on Python's included batteries.

This WSGI server is intended to be used in Kubernetes-like environments, where some component handle load-balancing, application crashing, loggin, etc.

How to install

pip install wsgi_lithium

How to use

WSGI Lithium should be used behind a reverse proxy.

wsgi-lithium -b [::]:8000 module:app

How to set SCRIPT_NAME from the HTTP server

Simply configure your reverse proxy to set the Virtual-Location header to the value you want in SCRIPT_NAME. You might have to rewrite the path with said reverse proxy.

For example, if you serve an application on /foo/bar, where /bar is the sub path, and /foo is the "virtual location", set the Virtual-Location header to /foo and rewrite the path so it become /bar.
