I can start Askbot by

python manage.py runserver `hostname -i`:8000

and would now like to start it with uwsgi instead. So I have created uwsgi.ini containing

[uwsgi]
static-map = /m=/app/static
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
env = NO_DEBUG=T
wsgi-file = /app/django.wsgi
http = 0.0.0.0:80
master = true

Below can the output be seen when I start it.

From my understanding I need a socket, if I e.g. would like to use nginx as a reverse proxy on top of uwsgi, but that is not the case here.

Question

Why do I need a socket?

And since it requires a socket, how do I know what it should be?

# /usr/sbin/uwsgi /app/uwsgi.ini 
[uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /app/uwsgi.ini
[uwsgi-static] added mapping for /m => /app/static
