Question

This is the file provided at https://github.com/ask/django-celery/blob/master/contrib/supervisord/celeryd.conf . How can I run this conf file ?

I am running my django app using gunicorn

; =======================================
;  celeryd supervisor example for Django
; =======================================

[program:celery]
command=/path/to/project/manage.py celeryd --loglevel=INFO
directory=/path/to/project
user=nobody
numprocs=1
stdout_logfile=/var/log/celeryd.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/celeryd.log
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=10

; Need to wait for currently executing tasks to finish at shutdown.
; Increase this if you have very long running tasks.
stopwaitsecs = 600

; if rabbitmq is supervised, set its priority higher
; so it starts first
priority=998

Thanks

That configuration file can’t be run on its own; it is for use with supervisord.

You need to install supervisord (if you have pip, use pip install supervisor), create a configuration file for it using sudo echo_supervisord_conf > /etc/supervisord.conf and then copy paste the contents of the file above into your supervisord configuration file as described in the supervisord documentation under Adding a program.

So basically run the following at your shell:

pip install supervisor
sudo echo_supervisord_conf > /etc/supervisord.conf
sudo wget -O - -o /dev/null https://raw.github.com/ask/django-celery/master/contrib/supervisord/celeryd.conf >> /etc/supervisor.conf
sudo $EDITOR /etc/supervisor.conf

and edit the config file to your heart’s content.
