How to run celery as a daemon in production?

Question

i created a celeryd file in /etc/defaults/ from the code here:

https://github.com/celery/celery/blob/3.0/extra/generic-init.d/celeryd

Now when I want to run

Answer 1

Note: in ubuntu 16.04 my anser with the .conf file is not working anymore.

I created a .service file and put this in /etc/systemd/system/

i can use

sudo service myservice status

sudo service myservice start

sudo service myservice stop

as commands

e.g. this file:

myservice.service:

[Unit] 
Description=My celery worker 

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/srv/my-project-path
User=buildout
Group=buildout
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=20 5
ExecStart=/srv/my-project/bin/django celeryd -BE

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=myservice.service

note i use buildout, so in setad of bin/django most users need to use the path to python and use mange.py in stead.
