Introduction

This recipe installs and configure supervisor according to a configuration file.

How to use?

You can use by configuration your buildout.cfg configuration file like this:

[buildout]
parts = supervisor

[supervisor]
recipe = jb.recipe.supervisor
configuration-file = supervisor-sample.conf

You can download a sample configuration file at https://github.com/multani/jb.recipe.supervisor/raw/master/supervisord-sample.conf

Running Buildout with this configuration file will generate:

• a supervisor configuration file using the template from the configuration-file settings as shown above;

• bin/supervisord, which is a script to run the supervisor daemon, according to the content of the configuration file above ;

• bin/supervisorctl, which is a script to run the supervisor client, according to the content of the configuration file above.

Additional settings

By default, the configuration file will end in parts/PART_NAME/supervisord.conf, but you can change it by setting the output-dir in your configuration file:

[buildout]
parts = supervisor

[supervisor]
recipe = jb.recipe.supervisor
configuration-file = supervisor-sample.conf
output-dir = /foo/bar
# The configuration will end in /foo/bar/supervisord.conf

The configuration file is processed by collective.recipe.template. It means you can use Buildout variables inside your template, such as ${buildout:parts-directory}, ${_buildout_section_name_}, or any valid settings. See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout/1.5.2#variable-substitutions for more informations.

Related projects

collective.recipe.supervisor is a similar project, but with a different approach. I liked to be able to configure supervisor from Buildout but I found the syntax used by collective.recipe.supervisor to be confusing and really ad-hoc.
