[PyWPS-dev] pywps in production on windows

[Carsten Ehbrecht]

Hi Idan,

PyWPS is not meant to run in production on Windows. It may still work … but I’m not sure. 

Using a docker container might already be a good alternative.

There is a Flask demo with PyWPS … but outdated:
https://github.com/geopython/pywps-flask 

Usually I use a cookiecutter template to setup a new PyWPS service which includes docker container support:
https://github.com/bird-house/cookiecutter-birdhouse 

For a full deployment on Linux with nginx/gunicron I use an Ansible playbook:
https://github.com/bird-house/ansible-wps-playbook

Currently in our projects people are mostly using the PyWPS generated by the cookiecutter … using Werkzeug/WSGI included in PyWPS either on the Linux host or in a container (for production).

Cheers,
Carsten
