<p>How uWSGI is implemented by distributors varies. The uWSGI project itself
recommends two methods:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html">systemd.unit</a> template file as described here <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Systemd.html#one-service-per-app-in-systemd">One service per app in systemd</a>:</p></li>

<div><p>There is one <a class="reference external" href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html">systemd unit template</a> on the system installed and one <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration.html#ini-files">uwsgi

<div><p>The Emperor mode is a special uWSGI instance that will monitor specific

systemd unit.</p>
<p>The Emperor service will scan specific directories for <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration.html#ini-files">uwsgi ini file</a>s
(also know as <em>vassals</em>). If a <em>vassal</em> is added, removed or the timestamp is

reload or stopped. Take Fedora and a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng.ini</span></code> as example:</p>

<p>The <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Emperor.html">uWSGI Emperor</a> mode and <a class="reference external" href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html">systemd unit template</a> is what the distributors
mostly offer their users, even if they differ in the way they implement both
modes and their defaults. Another point they might differ in is the packaging of
plugins (if so, compare <a class="reference internal" href="installation-searxng.html#install-packages"><span class="std std-ref">Install packages</span></a>) and what the default python
interpreter is (python2 vs. python3).</p>
<p>While archlinux does not start a uWSGI service by default, Fedora (RHEL) starts
a Emperor in <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Emperor.html#tyrant-mode-secure-multi-user-hosting">Tyrant mode</a> by default (you should have read <a class="reference internal" href="#uwsgi-tyrant-mode-pitfalls"><span class="std std-ref">Pitfalls of the Tyrant mode</span></a>). Worth to know; debian (ubuntu) follow a complete different
approach, read see <a class="reference internal" href="#debian-s-uwsgi-layout"><span class="std std-ref">Debian’s uWSGI layout</span></a>.</p>

configuration. Your are familiar with <a class="reference internal" href="installation-apache.html#debian-s-apache-layout"><span class="std std-ref">Debian’s Apache layout</span></a>? .. they do a

(<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/share/doc/uwsgi/README.Debian.gz</span></code>). Some commands you should know on
Debian:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>Commands recognized by init.d script
====================================
You can issue to init.d script following commands:
* start | starts daemon
* stop | stops daemon
* reload | sends to daemon SIGHUP signal
* force-reload | sends to daemon SIGTERM signal
* restart | issues &#39;stop&#39;, then &#39;start&#39; commands
* status | shows status of daemon instance (running/not running)
&#39;status&#39; command must be issued with exactly one argument: &#39;&lt;confname&gt;&#39;.
Controlling specific instances of uWSGI
=======================================
You could control specific instance(s) by issuing:
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1 service uwsgi &lt;command&gt; &lt;confname&gt; &lt;confname&gt;...
where:
* &lt;command&gt; is one of &#39;start&#39;, &#39;stop&#39; etc.
* &lt;confname&gt; is the name of configuration file (without extension)
For example, this is how instance for /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/hello.xml is
started:
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1 service uwsgi start hello

<p>The implementation of the process owners and groups in the <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Emperor.html#tyrant-mode-secure-multi-user-hosting">Tyrant mode</a> is
somewhat unusual and requires special consideration. In <a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Emperor.html#tyrant-mode-secure-multi-user-hosting">Tyrant mode</a> mode the
Emperor will run the vassal using the UID/GID of the vassal configuration file
(user and group of the app <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.ini</span></code> file).</p>
<p>Without option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">emperor-tyrant-initgroups=true</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/uwsgi.ini</span></code> the
process won’t get the additional groups, but this option is not available in
2.0.x branch (see <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/issues/2099">#2099&#64;uWSGI</a>) the feature <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/pull/752">#752&#64;uWSGI</a> has been merged (on
Oct. 2014) to the master branch of uWSGI but had never been released; the last
major release is from Dec. 2013, since the there had been only bugfix releases
(see <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/issues/2425">#2425uWSGI</a>). To shorten up:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p><strong>In Tyrant mode, there is no way to get additional groups, and the uWSGI
process misses additional permissions that may be needed.</strong></p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>For example on Fedora (RHEL): If you try to install a redis DB with socket
communication and you want to connect to it from the SearXNG uWSGI, you will see a
<em>Permission denied</em> in the log of your instance:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>ERROR:searx.redisdb: [searxng (993)] can&#39;t connect redis DB ...
ERROR:searx.redisdb: Error 13 connecting to unix socket: /usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock. Permission denied.
ERROR:searx.plugins.limiter: init limiter DB failed!!!
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Even if your <em>searxng</em> user of the uWSGI process is added to additional groups
to give access to the socket from the redis DB:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ groups searxng
searxng : searxng searxng-redis
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To see the effective groups of the uwsgi process, you have to look at the status
of the process, by example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ ps -aef | grep &#39;/usr/sbin/uwsgi --ini searxng.ini&#39;
searxng 93 92 0 12:43 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/uwsgi --ini searxng.ini
searxng 186 93 0 12:44 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/uwsgi --ini searxng.ini
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Here you can see that the additional “Groups” of PID 186 are unset (missing gid
of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng-redis</span></code>):</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ cat /proc/186/task/186/status
...
Uid: 993 993 993 993
Gid: 993 993 993 993
FDSize: 128
Groups:
...
