Start Gunicorn on boot

[Nonverbis M]

Ubuntu 16.04.3 Desktop version.

gunicorn (version 19.7.1)

virtualenv 15.1.0

I'd like Gunicorn to start on boot. Gunicorn is integrated with Django.

/etc/init/photoarchive.conf

description "Gunicorn server for photoarchive"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
setuid server
setgid server
chdir /home/server/photoarchive/photoarchive

exec /home/server/photoarchive/venv/photoarchive/bin/gunicorn photoarchive.wsgi

What is done for self-check:

1. 

1. cd /home/server/photoarchive/photoarchive ls

I can see manage.py.

2. 
   

3. 2.

4. cd /home/server/photoarchive/venv/photoarchive/bin/ I can see gunicorn file.

5. cd /var/log/upstart

It is empty.

4. 
   

5. 3. 

6. $ ps aux | grep gunicorn

   server 2715 0.0 0.0 21292 948 pts/6 S+ 10:12 0:00 grep --color=auto gunicorn

Well, this is grep has grepped itself.

4. 

5. Activate virtualenv.

   cd /home/server/photoarchive/photoarchive gunicorn photoarchive.wsgi

Now gunicorn is running. So, manually it starts.

Could you help me organize running gunicorn on start?

Hello,

Is this upstart? I thought that Ubuntu doesn't use upstart any more, but that it uses systemd instead (since version 15.04 IIRC). Maybe it contains upstart for backwards compatibility, but I think it's not a good idea to invest in learning upstart right now.

If you want to do it with systemd, which is what I recommend, you could try my recorded webinar, which also contains a cheat sheet with the systemd configuration. Otherwise you could use supervisor, which was the most recommended solution until recently (because upstart and/or init scripts were cumbersome), and which people still use more than systemd, first because systemd is newer, and second because systemd's documentation is suboptimal so it's harder to get started.

Regards,

Antonis

Antonis, thank you.

Yes, this is upstart. I'll try it with systemd as you suggested.

Use supervisor to start gunicorn on init

see this guide http://michal.karzynski.pl/blog/2013/06/09/django-nginx-gunicorn-virtualenv-supervisor/

gunicorn_start.bash

#!/bin/bash
	NAME="hello_app" # Name of the application
	DJANGODIR=/webapps/hello_django/hello # Django project directory
	SOCKFILE=/webapps/hello_django/run/gunicorn.sock # we will communicte using this unix socket
	USER=hello # the user to run as
	GROUP=webapps # the group to run as
	NUM_WORKERS=3 # how many worker processes should Gunicorn spawn
	DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=hello.settings # which settings file should Django use
	DJANGO_WSGI_MODULE=hello.wsgi # WSGI module name
	echo "Starting $NAME as `whoami`"
	# Activate the virtual environment
	cd $DJANGODIR
	source ../bin/activate
	export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=$DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
	export PYTHONPATH=$DJANGODIR:$PYTHONPATH
	# Create the run directory if it doesn't exist
	RUNDIR=$(dirname $SOCKFILE)
	test -d $RUNDIR || mkdir -p $RUNDIR
	# Start your Django Unicorn
	# Programs meant to be run under supervisor should not daemonize themselves (do not use --daemon)
	exec ../bin/gunicorn ${DJANGO_WSGI_MODULE}:application \
	--name $NAME \
	--workers $NUM_WORKERS \
	--user=$USER --group=$GROUP \
	--bind=unix:$SOCKFILE \
	--log-level=debug \
	--log-file=-
