Deploying CherryPy (daemon)

Question

I\'ve followed the basic CherryPy tutorial (http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/CherryPyTutorial). One thing not discussed is deployment.

How can I launch a CherryPy app a

Answer 1

I wrote a tutorial/project skeleton, cherrypy-webapp-skeleton, which goal was to fill the gaps for deploying a real-world CherryPy application on Debian* for a web-developer. It features extended cherryd for daemon privilege drop. There's also a number of important script and config files for init.d, nginx, monit, logrotate. The tutorial part describes how to put things together and eventually forget about it. The skeleton part proposes a way of possible arrangement of CherryPy webapp project assets.
