How to deploy the Django and parambokeh sample on a remote web server

[danielmesser1]

How to run the Sample django + parambokeh apps on a web server other than on a local machine?
The web server is an Apache http server running on an EC2 single instance, listening on port 80.
I tried many different host addresses and ports configurations but I don't really understand how things work.
I believe that the following bk_worker code starts the the bokeh server in the background when a new thread is started:

def bk_worker():

Note: num_procs must be 1; see e.g. flask_gunicorn_embed.py for num_procs>1

server = Server({'/bk_sliders_app': bk_sliders.app},
io_loop=IOLoop(),
address=bk_config.server['address'],
port=bk_config.server['port'],
allow_websocket_origin=["localhost:8000"])
server.start()
server.io_loop.start()

What should be the address and port specified there? It is currently set to localhost and 5006 because I believe that, since Server() is called on the web server, then it should spawn a bokeh server on the same local host, correct? If not, then what should be the address and port (I also tried 0.0.0.0 but it didn't work)?

I believe that the bokeh server has started because I see a thread running under the wsgi user and started by httpd when running ps -ael on the EC2 instance:
4 S 0 20701 3057 0 80 0 - 62977 - ? 00:00:00 httpd
0 S 0 20705 20701 0 80 0 - 6295 - ? 00:00:00 rotatelogs
5 S 497 20706 20701 0 80 0 - 247053 - ? 00:00:01 httpd

Is there a better way to check that the bokeh server is running correctly and is there a way to see a log from the bokeh server?

I slightly modified the base.html template to display the output of server_document() called from view.py:

<title>parambokeh in django: sliders</title>

{{server_script}}

{% block content %} {{server_script|safe}} {% endblock %}

The script returned when accessing the http://django2-env.xpy8pjmgjb.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/sliders/ url is

<script src="http://localhost:5006/bk_sliders_app/autoload.js?bokeh-autoload-element=1002&bokeh-app-path=/bk_sliders_app&bokeh-absolute-url=http://localhost:5006/bk_sliders_app" id="1002"></script>

Where does this script run? Does it run on the client browser or does it run on the web server? If it runs on the client, then the http://localhost:5006 src should be incorrect and should be django2-env.xpy8pjmgjb.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com instead, correct? Then what about the port number? 5006 is not open to internet access, so should it be port 80 instead? In this case, do I need to setup the Apache http server as a proxy/reverse proxy? If yes, how do I do it?

Hi, did you finally manage setting proxy/reverse proxy on Apache?
It seems that I have similar issue. I have tried to find answer on Bokeh Discussion group: https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/d/msgid/bokeh/cc1a9766-ecc1-41e4-9d21-84cfa8335d65%40continuum.io
I'd appreciate your help if you have finally found answers to your questions.

Hi, Yes I managed to solve the issue. I am travelling the next couple weeks and I’ll send you some files in the next couple days if that’s ok with you.
