Starting supervisord as root or not?

Question

Supervisor is running on 3.0:

pip freeze | grep supervisor
supervisor==3.0

When starting supervisord from the command line:

sud         


        

Answer 1

You got:

Per my understanding, you got this CRIT message which is bothering you:

CRIT Supervisor running as root (no user in config file)

The words in brackets is a clue. This message indicates that you may be running Supervisor as root unintentionally.

Do this:

So the solution is pretty simple: Tell Supervisor that you are doing this intentionally.
(in /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf)

[supervisord]
user = root

Once you run Supervisord as root, it sets uid to the user you assigned, which is, root. (#308)

Not important:

Although now you may get this message:

CRIT Set uid to user 0

No worries, this message should be a INFO level rather than a CRIT level. (#693)
