Answer 1

I have created an example how to mix Django Channels and Django Rest Framework. I set nginx routing that:

• websockets connections are going to daphne server
• HTTP connections (REST API) are going to gunicorn server

Here is my nginx configuration file:

upstream app {
    server wsgiserver:8000;
}

upstream ws_server {
    server asgiserver:9000;
}


server {
    listen 8000 default_server;
    listen [::]:8000;

    client_max_body_size 20M;

    location / {
        try_files $uri @proxy_to_app;
    }

    location /tasks {
        try_files $uri @proxy_to_ws;
    }

    location @proxy_to_ws {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_redirect off;

        proxy_pass   http://ws_server;
    }

    location @proxy_to_app {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
        proxy_set_header X-Url-Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;

        proxy_pass   http://app;
    }

}
