Radicale

Installing Radicale using Gunicorn and Nginx on CentOS 7

Install Nginx:

Nginx is in the EPEL so install that first.

# yum install -y epel-release
# yum install -y nginx

We are going to run Radicale and Gunicorn in a virtual environment, so we need to install virtualenv

# yum install -y python-virtualenv

Create a "radicale" user to run the application:

# adduser radicale

Make them a member of the nginx group so that Nginx can access the files:

# usermod -a -G nginx radicale

Create the application folder and set the permissions:

# mkdir /opt/radicale
# chown -R radicale:nginx /opt/radicale

Switch to the radicale user:

# su - radicale

Create the app directory and virtualenv:

$ cd /opt/radicale
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install radicale gunicorn

/opt/radicale/wsgi.py

 import radicale
 
 
 radicale.log.start()
 application = radicale.Application()

/etc/systemd/system/radicale.service:

 [Unit]
 Description=Radicale
 After=network.target
 
 [Service]
 User=radicale
 Group=nginx
 WorkingDirectory=/opt/radicale
 ExecStart=/opt/radicale/venv/bin/gunicorn --workers=3 --bind=unix:/opt/radicale/radicale.sock wsgi:application
 
 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target

Optional bcrypt support

 # yum install -y gcc libffi-devel
 # su - radicale
 $ cd /opt/radicale
 $ source venv/bin/activate
 (venv)$ pip install bcrypt passlib
