Introduction

Supervisor is a client system that allows its users to monitor and control number of process on Linux systems

Using supervisorctl with linux permissions but without root or sudo

In the /etc/supervisor/supervisor.conf please do the below changes make supervisor control by current user

Part 1

[unix_http_server] file=/var/tmp/supervisord.sock # note folder name change chmod=0770 # This will provide read and write access to the socket chown=: # change the group will provide access to the socket

Part 2

[supervisorctl] serverurl=/var/tmp/supervisord.sock

Note: still works if chmod and chown were changed

View Supervisor in web

Need to add a below section in /etc/supervisor/supervisor.conf and need to restart the service

[inet_http_server] port = 127.0.0.1:9001 username = user password = 123

Then Browsing the link http://127.0.0.1:9001/ with username user and password 123 as mentioned above will have access to web portal
