Switch from uwsgi to bjoern

Johannes Zumthurm requested to merge bjoern into master

Created by: NotSpecial

In the production setup, uwsgi was causing troubles by dropping connections if to many requests occured. I suspected bad configuration but was not able to fix it.

Searching for a solution, I came across bjoern, a lightweight wsgi-server based on libev.

bjoern solves our problems:

  • no dropped connections anymore
  • bonus: smaller image
  • bonus: runs with less memory
  • bonus: no configuration required

Additionally, a .dockerignore is added to clean up the image a little. Essentially it just copies the .gitignore
