Sort of. You can definitely be up and running relatively easily, it's just there are so many different knobs and switches and ways to set things up, you never know if you are doing things the right way. I also agree that the documentation is not particularly helpful and sometimes it's contradictory. The software itself is rock solid though, gives me very little trouble (other than logrotate & emperor mode being a pain)

It's theoretically rock solid. In practice there are many common scenarios where uwsgi goes wrong. Here's one where a seemingly normal configuration of supervisor and uwsgi doesn't work because uwsgi attached a special meaning to SIGTERM

https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/issues/296

Note that the bug is closed because it will be fixed in an as-yet unreleased version!

Yes, you are right. But, IMHO the solution is really simple. In your supervisor config you ony add this option and everything works as expected:

stopsignal=QUIT

We're using it and no problems so far. Simple!

Read the thread I linked - multiple commenters say that using SIGQUIT does not solve the problem for them and eventually unbit states that he recommends using --die-on-term.

You are using the wrong workaround, so if you haven't had problems yet, it could only be a matter of time.

And this is only one aspect of uwsgi that is buggy/unclear

Thanks! I'll have a look again :-)
