Settings
========
This is an exhaustive list of settings for Gunicorn. Some settings are only
able to be set from a configuration file. The setting name is what should be
used in the configuration file. The command line arguments are listed as well
for reference on setting at the command line.
.. note::
Settings can be specified by using environment variable
``GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS``. All available command line arguments can be used.
For example, to specify the bind address and number of workers::
$ GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS="--bind=127.0.0.1 --workers=3" gunicorn app:app
.. versionadded:: 19.7
Config File
-----------
.. _config:
config
~~~~~~
* ``-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG``
* ``None``
The Gunicorn config file.
A string of the form ``PATH``, ``file:PATH``, or ``python:MODULE_NAME``.
Only has an effect when specified on the command line or as part of an
application specific configuration.
.. versionchanged:: 19.4
Loading the config from a Python module requires the ``python:``
prefix.
Debugging
---------
.. _reload:
reload
~~~~~~
* ``--reload``
* ``False``
Restart workers when code changes.
This setting is intended for development. It will cause workers to be
restarted whenever application code changes.
The reloader is incompatible with application preloading. When using a
paste configuration be sure that the server block does not import any
application code or the reload will not work as designed.
The default behavior is to attempt inotify with a fallback to file
system polling. Generally, inotify should be preferred if available
because it consumes less system resources.
.. note::
In order to use the inotify reloader, you must have the ``inotify``
package installed.
.. _reload-engine:
reload_engine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--reload-engine STRING``
* ``auto``
The implementation that should be used to power :ref:`reload`.
Valid engines are:
* 'auto'
* 'poll'
* 'inotify' (requires inotify)
.. versionadded:: 19.7
.. _reload-extra-files:
reload_extra_files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--reload-extra-file FILES``
* ``[]``

(e.g., templates, configurations, specifications, etc.).
.. versionadded:: 19.8
.. _spew:
spew
~~~~
* ``--spew``
* ``False``
Install a trace function that spews every line executed by the server.
This is the nuclear option.

:ref:`disable-redirect-access-to-syslog` setting.
.. _syslog-prefix:
syslog_prefix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--log-syslog-prefix SYSLOG_PREFIX``
* ``None``
Makes Gunicorn use the parameter as program-name in the syslog entries.
All entries will be prefixed by ``gunicorn.<prefix>``. By default the
program name is the name of the process.
.. _syslog-facility:
syslog_facility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--log-syslog-facility SYSLOG_FACILITY``
* ``user``
Syslog facility name
.. _enable-stdio-inheritance:
enable_stdio_inheritance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. _proc-name:
proc_name
~~~~~~~~~
* ``-n STRING, --name STRING``
* ``None``
A base to use with setproctitle for process naming.
This affects things like ``ps`` and ``top``. If you're going to be
running more than one instance of Gunicorn you'll probably want to set a
name to tell them apart. This requires that you install the setproctitle
module.
If not set, the *default_proc_name* setting will be used.
.. _default-proc-name:
default_proc_name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``gunicorn``
Internal setting that is adjusted for each type of application.
SSL
---
.. _keyfile:
keyfile
~~~~~~~

* ``--ciphers``
* ``TLSv1``
Ciphers to use (see stdlib ssl module's)
Security
--------
.. _limit-request-line:
limit_request_line
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--limit-request-line INT``
* ``4094``
The maximum size of HTTP request line in bytes.
This parameter is used to limit the allowed size of a client's
HTTP request-line. Since the request-line consists of the HTTP
method, URI, and protocol version, this directive places a
restriction on the length of a request-URI allowed for a request
on the server. A server needs this value to be large enough to
hold any of its resource names, including any information that
might be passed in the query part of a GET request. Value is a number
from 0 (unlimited) to 8190.
This parameter can be used to prevent any DDOS attack.
.. _limit-request-fields:
limit_request_fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--limit-request-fields INT``
* ``100``
Limit the number of HTTP headers fields in a request.
This parameter is used to limit the number of headers in a request to
prevent DDOS attack. Used with the *limit_request_field_size* it allows
more safety. By default this value is 100 and can't be larger than
32768.
.. _limit-request-field-size:
limit_request_field_size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--limit-request-field_size INT``
* ``8190``
Limit the allowed size of an HTTP request header field.
Value is a positive number or 0. Setting it to 0 will allow unlimited
header field sizes.
.. warning::
Setting this parameter to a very high or unlimited value can open
up for DDOS attacks.

Server Mechanics
----------------
.. _preload-app:
preload_app
~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--preload``
* ``False``
Load application code before the worker processes are forked.
By preloading an application you can save some RAM resources as well as
speed up server boot times. Although, if you defer application loading
to each worker process, you can reload your application code easily by
restarting workers.
.. _sendfile:
sendfile
~~~~~~~~
* ``--no-sendfile``
* ``None``
Disables the use of ``sendfile()``.
If not set, the value of the ``SENDFILE`` environment variable is used
to enable or disable its usage.
.. versionadded:: 19.2
.. versionchanged:: 19.4
Swapped ``--sendfile`` with ``--no-sendfile`` to actually allow
disabling.
.. versionchanged:: 19.6
added support for the ``SENDFILE`` environment variable
.. _reuse-port:
reuse_port
~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--reuse-port``
* ``False``
Set the ``SO_REUSEPORT`` flag on the listening socket.
.. versionadded:: 19.8
.. _chdir:
chdir
~~~~~
* ``--chdir``
* ``/usr/src/app``
Chdir to specified directory before apps loading.
.. _daemon:
daemon
~~~~~~
* ``-D, --daemon``
* ``False``
Daemonize the Gunicorn process.
Detaches the server from the controlling terminal and enters the
background.
.. _raw-env:
raw_env
~~~~~~~
* ``-e ENV, --env ENV``
* ``[]``
Set environment variable (key=value).
Pass variables to the execution environment. Ex.::
$ gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:8000 --env FOO=1 test:app
and test for the foo variable environment in your application.
.. _pidfile:
pidfile
~~~~~~~
* ``-p FILE, --pid FILE``
* ``None``
A filename to use for the PID file.
If not set, no PID file will be written.
.. _worker-tmp-dir:
worker_tmp_dir
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--worker-tmp-dir DIR``
* ``None``
A directory to use for the worker heartbeat temporary file.
If not set, the default temporary directory will be used.
.. note::
The current heartbeat system involves calling ``os.fchmod`` on
temporary file handlers and may block a worker for arbitrary time
if the directory is on a disk-backed filesystem.
See :ref:`blocking-os-fchmod` for more detailed information
and a solution for avoiding this problem.
.. _user:
user
~~~~
* ``-u USER, --user USER``
* ``501``
Switch worker processes to run as this user.
A valid user id (as an integer) or the name of a user that can be
retrieved with a call to ``pwd.getpwnam(value)`` or ``None`` to not
change the worker process user.
.. _group:
group
~~~~~
* ``-g GROUP, --group GROUP``
* ``20``
Switch worker process to run as this group.
A valid group id (as an integer) or the name of a user that can be
retrieved with a call to ``pwd.getgrnam(value)`` or ``None`` to not
change the worker processes group.
.. _umask:
umask
~~~~~
* ``-m INT, --umask INT``
* ``0``
A bit mask for the file mode on files written by Gunicorn.
Note that this affects unix socket permissions.
A valid value for the ``os.umask(mode)`` call or a string compatible
with ``int(value, 0)`` (``0`` means Python guesses the base, so values
like ``0``, ``0xFF``, ``0022`` are valid for decimal, hex, and octal
representations)
.. _initgroups:
initgroups
~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--initgroups``
* ``False``
If true, set the worker process's group access list with all of the
groups of which the specified username is a member, plus the specified
group id.
.. versionadded:: 19.7
.. _tmp-upload-dir:
tmp_upload_dir
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``None``
Directory to store temporary request data as they are read.
This may disappear in the near future.
This path should be writable by the process permissions set for Gunicorn
workers. If not specified, Gunicorn will choose a system generated
temporary directory.
.. _secure-scheme-headers:
secure_scheme_headers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``{'X-FORWARDED-PROTOCOL': 'ssl', 'X-FORWARDED-PROTO': 'https', 'X-FORWARDED-SSL': 'on'}``
A dictionary containing headers and values that the front-end proxy
uses to indicate HTTPS requests. These tell Gunicorn to set
``wsgi.url_scheme`` to ``https``, so your application can tell that the
request is secure.
The dictionary should map upper-case header names to exact string
values. The value comparisons are case-sensitive, unlike the header
names, so make sure they're exactly what your front-end proxy sends
when handling HTTPS requests.
It is important that your front-end proxy configuration ensures that
the headers defined here can not be passed directly from the client.
.. _forwarded-allow-ips:
forwarded_allow_ips
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--forwarded-allow-ips STRING``
* ``127.0.0.1``
Front-end's IPs from which allowed to handle set secure headers.
(comma separate).
Set to ``*`` to disable checking of Front-end IPs (useful for setups
where you don't know in advance the IP address of Front-end, but
you still trust the environment).
By default, the value of the ``FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS`` environment
variable. If it is not defined, the default is ``"127.0.0.1"``.
.. _pythonpath:
pythonpath
~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--pythonpath STRING``
* ``None``
A comma-separated list of directories to add to the Python path.
e.g.
``'/home/djangoprojects/myproject,/home/python/mylibrary'``.
.. _paste:
paste
~~~~~
* ``--paste STRING, --paster STRING``
* ``None``
Load a PasteDeploy config file. The argument may contain a ``#``
symbol followed by the name of an app section from the config file,
e.g. ``production.ini#admin``.
At this time, using alternate server blocks is not supported. Use the
command line arguments to control server configuration instead.
.. _proxy-protocol:
proxy_protocol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--proxy-protocol``
* ``False``
Enable detect PROXY protocol (PROXY mode).
Allow using HTTP and Proxy together. It may be useful for work with
stunnel as HTTPS frontend and Gunicorn as HTTP server.
PROXY protocol: http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
Example for stunnel config::
[https]
protocol = proxy
accept = 443
connect = 80
cert = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem
key = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.key
.. _proxy-allow-ips:
proxy_allow_ips
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--proxy-allow-from``
* ``127.0.0.1``
Front-end's IPs from which allowed accept proxy requests (comma separate).
Set to ``*`` to disable checking of Front-end IPs (useful for setups
where you don't know in advance the IP address of Front-end, but
you still trust the environment)
.. _raw-paste-global-conf:
raw_paste_global_conf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--paste-global CONF``
* ``[]``
Set a PasteDeploy global config variable in ``key=value`` form.
The option can be specified multiple times.
The variables are passed to the the PasteDeploy entrypoint. Example::
$ gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:8000 --paste development.ini --paste-global FOO=1 --paste-global BAR=2
.. versionadded:: 19.7
Server Socket
-------------
.. _bind:
bind
~~~~
* ``-b ADDRESS, --bind ADDRESS``
* ``['127.0.0.1:8000']``
The socket to bind.
A string of the form: ``HOST``, ``HOST:PORT``, ``unix:PATH``. An IP is
a valid ``HOST``.
Multiple addresses can be bound. ex.::
$ gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:8000 -b [::1]:8000 test:app
will bind the `test:app` application on localhost both on ipv6
and ipv4 interfaces.
.. _backlog:
backlog
~~~~~~~
* ``--backlog INT``
* ``2048``
The maximum number of pending connections.
This refers to the number of clients that can be waiting to be served.
Exceeding this number results in the client getting an error when
attempting to connect. It should only affect servers under significant
load.
Must be a positive integer. Generally set in the 64-2048 range.
Worker Processes
----------------
.. _workers:
workers
~~~~~~~
* ``-w INT, --workers INT``
* ``1``
The number of worker processes for handling requests.
A positive integer generally in the ``2-4 x $(NUM_CORES)`` range.
You'll want to vary this a bit to find the best for your particular
application's work load.
By default, the value of the ``WEB_CONCURRENCY`` environment variable.
If it is not defined, the default is ``1``.
.. _worker-class:
worker_class
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``-k STRING, --worker-class STRING``
* ``sync``
The type of workers to use.
The default class (``sync``) should handle most "normal" types of
workloads. You'll want to read :doc:`design` for information on when
you might want to choose one of the other worker classes. Required
libraries may be installed using setuptools' ``extra_require`` feature.
A string referring to one of the following bundled classes:
* ``sync``
* ``eventlet`` - Requires eventlet >= 0.9.7 (or install it via
``pip install gunicorn[eventlet]``)
* ``gevent`` - Requires gevent >= 0.13 (or install it via
``pip install gunicorn[gevent]``)
* ``tornado`` - Requires tornado >= 0.2 (or install it via
``pip install gunicorn[tornado]``)
* ``gthread`` - Python 2 requires the futures package to be installed
(or install it via ``pip install gunicorn[gthread]``)
* ``gaiohttp`` - Deprecated.
Optionally, you can provide your own worker by giving Gunicorn a
Python path to a subclass of ``gunicorn.workers.base.Worker``.
This alternative syntax will load the gevent class:
``gunicorn.workers.ggevent.GeventWorker``.
.. deprecated:: 19.8
The ``gaiohttp`` worker is deprecated. Please use
``aiohttp.worker.GunicornWebWorker`` instead. See
:ref:`asyncio-workers` for more information on how to use it.
.. _threads:
threads
~~~~~~~
* ``--threads INT``
* ``1``
The number of worker threads for handling requests.
Run each worker with the specified number of threads.
A positive integer generally in the ``2-4 x $(NUM_CORES)`` range.
You'll want to vary this a bit to find the best for your particular
application's work load.
If it is not defined, the default is ``1``.
This setting only affects the Gthread worker type.
.. note::
If you try to use the ``sync`` worker type and set the ``threads``
setting to more than 1, the ``gthread`` worker type will be used
instead.
.. _worker-connections:
worker_connections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--worker-connections INT``
* ``1000``
The maximum number of simultaneous clients.
This setting only affects the Eventlet and Gevent worker types.
.. _max-requests:
max_requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--max-requests INT``
* ``0``
The maximum number of requests a worker will process before restarting.
Any value greater than zero will limit the number of requests a work
will process before automatically restarting. This is a simple method
to help limit the damage of memory leaks.
If this is set to zero (the default) then the automatic worker
restarts are disabled.
.. _max-requests-jitter:
max_requests_jitter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--max-requests-jitter INT``
* ``0``
The maximum jitter to add to the *max_requests* setting.
The jitter causes the restart per worker to be randomized by
``randint(0, max_requests_jitter)``. This is intended to stagger worker
restarts to avoid all workers restarting at the same time.
.. versionadded:: 19.2
.. _timeout:
timeout
~~~~~~~
* ``-t INT, --timeout INT``
* ``30``
Workers silent for more than this many seconds are killed and restarted.
Generally set to thirty seconds. Only set this noticeably higher if
you're sure of the repercussions for sync workers. For the non sync
workers it just means that the worker process is still communicating and
is not tied to the length of time required to handle a single request.
.. _graceful-timeout:
graceful_timeout
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``--graceful-timeout INT``
* ``30``
Timeout for graceful workers restart.
After receiving a restart signal, workers have this much time to finish
serving requests. Workers still alive after the timeout (starting from
the receipt of the restart signal) are force killed.
.. _keepalive:
keepalive
~~~~~~~~~
* ``--keep-alive INT``
* ``2``
The number of seconds to wait for requests on a Keep-Alive connection.
Generally set in the 1-5 seconds range for servers with direct connection
to the client (e.g. when you don't have separate load balancer). When
Gunicorn is deployed behind a load balancer, it often makes sense to
set this to a higher value.
.. note::
``sync`` worker does not support persistent connections and will
ignore this option.
