+Configuration File
+------------------
+
+While passing arguments to Gunicorn via the command line is useful for simple
+setups, production deployments usually rely on a configuration file.
+
+Create a file named ``gunicorn.conf.py`` in your project directory:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # gunicorn.conf.py
+    bind = "127.0.0.1:8000"
+    workers = 4
+    accesslog = "-"
+
+You can then run Gunicorn by pointing it to your configuration file using
+the ``-c`` option:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+    $ gunicorn -c gunicorn.conf.py 'example:app'
+
+
+Running in the Background
+-------------------------
+
+Running Gunicorn from the command line blocks the terminal. For production
+deployments, you should use a process manager like ``systemd`` or ``supervisor``
+to run Gunicorn in the background, start it automatically on boot and restart
+it if it crashes.
+
+See the Gunicorn documentation on `Deploying Gunicorn <https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/latest/deploy.html>`_
+for examples of systemd service files.
