[FIXED] How do you daemonize a Flask application?

Issue

I have a small application written in Python using Flask. Right now I'm running it under nohup, but I'd like to daemonize it. What's the proper way of doing this?

Solution

There are several ways to deploy a Flask project. Deploying with gunicorn might be the easiest, install gunicorn and then:

gunicorn project:app --daemon

Although you probably want to use supervisor or something of that nature to monitor gunicorn (at the very least use --pid so you can reload/stop gunicorn easily).
