Increase Gunicorn Workers
Important
If you increase the number of :term:`Gunicorn` workers, you also need to increase the threadpool size of the VCS Server. The recommended size is 6 times the number of Gunicorn workers. To set this, see :ref:`vcs-server-config-file`.
|RCE| comes with Gunicorn packaged in its Nix environment. To improve performance you can increase the number of workers. To do this, use the following steps:
- Open the :file:`home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file.
- In the [server:main] section, increase the number of Gunicorn workers using the following formula (2*Cores) + 1.
[server:main] host = 127.0.0.1 port = 10002 use = egg:gunicorn#main workers = 1 threads = 1 proc_name = RhodeCodeEnterprise worker_class = sync max_requests = 1000 timeout = 3600
- In the [app:main] section, set the instance_id property to *.
# In the [app:main] section [app:main] # You must set `instance_id = *` instance_id = *
- Save your changes.
- Restart your |RCE| instance, using the following command:
$ rccontrol restart enterprise-1
If you scale across different machines, each |RCM| instance needs to store its data on a shared disk, preferably together with your |repos|. This data directory contains template caches, a whoosh index, and is used for task locking to ensure safety across multiple instances. To do this, set the following properties in the :file:`rhodecode.ini` file to set the shared location across all |RCM| instances.
cache_dir = /file/path # set to shared location search.location = /file/path # set to shared location #################################### ### BEAKER CACHE #### #################################### beaker.cache.data_dir = /file/path # set to shared location beaker.cache.lock_dir = /file/path # set to shared location
Gunicorn SSL support
:term:`Gunicorn` wsgi server allows users to use HTTPS connection directly without a need to use HTTP server like Nginx or Apache. To Configure SSL support directly with :term:`Gunicorn` you need to simply add the key and certificate paths to your configuration file.
- Open the :file:`home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file.
- In the [server:main] section, add two new variables called certfile and keyfile.
[server:main] host = 127.0.0.1 port = 10002 use = egg:gunicorn#main workers = 1 threads = 1 proc_name = RhodeCodeEnterprise worker_class = sync max_requests = 1000 timeout = 3600 # adding ssl support certfile = /home/ssl/my_server_com.pem keyfile = /home/ssl/my_server_com.key
- Save your changes.
- Restart your |RCE| instance, using the following command:
$ rccontrol restart enterprise-1
After this is enabled you can only access your instances via https:// protocol. Check out more docs here Gunicorn SSL Docs
