Deploying and running nSides on AWS

nSides is served on an AWS EC2 instance using Nginx and uWSGI. For consistency, use the approach in the following blog post: http://vladikk.com/2013/09/12/serving-flask-with-nginx-on-ubuntu/

Caveats:

• If using virtualenv, you either have to have the virtualenv directory in the same location as the nsides.py application, or specify the location of the virtualenv using the uWSGI -H parameter.
