I am working on a web2py application to help with FreeBSD system administration. Although my main web2py system will run with Nginx and uWSGI on this server, I would like my admin app to run independently of these as I would use the admin application to manage these configurations and a bad config could lock me out if the admin application depended on Nginx and uWSGI.
I was thinking xinetd would be a good solution as it would only run when required, and can be restricted to specific source IP addresses which would be good for security. My first attempt at this failed (I tried to adapt this guide: http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/883/531/, replacing the server parameter with the path to python, and the arguments with the web2py.py plus usual startup options which work find on their own). Has anyone managed to run web2py from xinetd or inetd? Any other suggestions other than just running web2py with it's built in web server as a service? Security is important as some of the tasks require root access, so any extra layer of security would be good. How secure is the built in web2py web server? I'm trying to keep it simple and lightweight as it would be hosted on a single core virtual server.
