This example is useful to - I like how it has a Makefile that knows how to set up systemd: https://github.com/pikesley/Queube

Here are some partial notes I have saved from an nginx configuration I've used in the past: ``` cat /etc/nginx/sites-available/default server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server;

    location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001/;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }

... ```

... and @russss also suggested systemd 21 seconds before I posted that!

I asked about this on Twitter and got a solid recommendation for systemd and this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units - via https://twitter.com/sil/status/1142412145990221825

This is also relevant to Datasette Library #417

A section in the Datasette docs that acts as recommendations plus a tutorial for running Datasette on a VPS without using a Docker would be excellent.

I'm still trying to figure this out myself.

I'm confident that running nginx on port 80 and using it to proxy traffic to Datasette is a sensible way to solve the port problem.

As for running Datasette itself: the two options that seem best to me are some kind of Init.d service or running it under supervisord. I have to admit I haven't worked out the necessary incantation for either of those yet: the solitary instance I have that's not running as a Docker container is sitting in a "screen" instance for the moment!
