Supervisor and Environment Variables

Solution 1:

Referencing existing env vars is done with %(ENV_VARNAME)s

( see https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/blob/master/supervisor/skel/sample.conf )

Setting multiple environment variables is done by separating them with commas

( see http://supervisord.org/subprocess.html#subprocess-environment )

Try:

environment=PYTHONPATH=/opt/mypypath:%(ENV_PYTHONPATH)s,PATH=/opt/mypath:%(ENV_PATH)s

Solution 2:

In your .conf file under the supervisord block, you can add all the environment key=value pairs as such

[supervisord]
environment=CELERY_BROKER_URL="amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672//",FLASK_CONFIG="TESTING"

[program:celeryd]
command=celery worker -A celery --loglevel=info -P gevent -c 1000

If you dont want to hardcode the variables but want to pull it in from the os environment, step 1 on your bash

Export env var

>> sudo export CELERY_BROKER_URL="amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672//"

Reload Bash

>> . ~/.bashrc

Check if env vars are set properly

>> env

Now modify the conf file to read - Note: prepend your env variables with ENV_

[supervisord]
environment=CELERY_BROKER_URL="%(ENV_CELERY_BROKER_URL)s",FLASK_CONFIG="%(ENV_FLASK_CONFIG)s"

[program:celeryd]
command=celery worker -A celery --loglevel=info -P gevent -c 1000

Solution 3:

this works for me. note the tabs before each line:

environment=
    CLOUD_INSTANCE_NAME=media-server-xx-xx-xx-xx,
    CLOUD_APPLICATION=media-server,
    CLOUD_APP_COMPONENT=none,
    CLOUD_ZONE=a,
    CLOUD_REGION=b,
    CLOUD_PRIVATE_IP=none,
    CLOUD_PUBLIC_IP=xx.xx.xx.xx,
    CLOUD_PUBLIC_IPV6=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx,
    CLOUD_PROVIDER=c

I know this is old but I just struggled with this for hours and wanted to maybe help out the next guy.

Don't forget to reload your config files after making updates

supervisorctl reread
supervisorctl update

Solution 5:

If you install supervisor from a package installer, check which Supervisor version you are using. As of August 2016 you will get 3.0b2. If this is the case you will need a newer version of supervisor. You can get it by installing supervisor manually or by using Python's pip. Make sure all the dependencies are met, along with the upstart setup so that supervisord works as a service and starts on system boot.
