django-channels nginx settings - django

Question

My django app uses django-channels.
I was able to configure django to run using gunicorn and nginx.
The app run if i use python manage.py runserver and redis-server sends notification etc but i am unable to configure it using nginx.
server {
listen 80;
server_name IP;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/amir/clientcode;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/amir/clientcode/adminpanel.sock;
}
}
However when I try to configure it for django-channels it is giving me status 502
upstream channels-backend {
server localhost:8000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name IP;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/amir/clientcode;
}
location / {
try_files $uri #proxy_to_app;
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/amir/clientcode/adminpanel.sock;
}
location #proxy_to_app {
proxy_pass http://channels-backend;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
}
My asgi.py file
import os
import django
from channels.routing import get_default_application
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "adminpanel.settings")
django.setup()
application = get_default_application()
``

First of all, install Daphne in your app:
Here I use daphne==1.3.0
To start Daphne server, I use this command:
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="config.settings"
exec daphne -b 0.0.0.0 --proxy-headers config.asgi:channel_layer
Besides Daphne, you have to start a worker:
python manage.py runworker
With this, you can use the sockets in the same URL's Projects.
