API and Gunicorn server

To access our application we provide an API that is served via Gunicorn.

Gunicorn

The Gunicorn server is automatically started when running the docker image via deployment/run-server.sh that is created when running deployment/build-server.sh .. The Server has a configuration file in deployment/gunicorn-config.py.

Gunicorn Configuration

The server is configured to log errors in ./log/errors.log. If the environment variable METAEXP_DEV in Docker is set to true than also the access is logged in ./log/access.log. This can for example be done via docker run server -e METAEXP_DEV='true', where server is the image name. Per default access is not logged as it should not be in production use.
