Laravel Queue Supervisor

_Laravel_Queue_Supervisor_Instruction.md

Install Supervisor with sudo apt-get install supervisor in Unix or brew install supervisor in Mac OSX. Ensure it's started with sudo service supervisor restart in Unix or brew services start supervisor in Mac OSX.

In Unix in /etc/supervisord/conf.d/ create a .conf file. In this example, laravel_queue.conf (contents below). Give it execute permissions: chmod +x laravel_queue.conf.

In Mac OSX first run supervisord -c /usr/local/etc/supervisord.ini and in /usr/local/etc/supervisor.d/ create a .conf file. In this example, laravel_queue.conf (contents below). Give it execute permissions: chmod +x laravel_queue.conf.

This file points at /usr/local/bin/run_queue.sh, so create that file there. Give this execute permissions, too: chmod +x run_queue.sh.

Now update Supervisor with: sudo supervisorctl reread in Unix and with: brew services restart supervisor in MAc OSX . And start using those changes with: sudo supervisorctl update.

Now run your supervisor queues by run_queue.sh.

laravel_queue.conf

[program:laravel_queue]
command=/usr/local/bin/run_queue.sh
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/laraqueue.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/laraqueue.out.log

run_queue.sh

#!/bin/bash
php /path/to/AppName/artisan --env=production --timeout=240 queue:listen

I had some trouble getting this to work on OSX Sierra

First, I had to create the supervisor.d folder

Then I kept having errors when trying to use supervisorctl. The solution was to use -c with supervisorctl too (not only supervisord)

Lastly I noticed that the default configuration file when using brew install supervisor is supervisord.ini (not .conf) and in it it auto-includes .ini files (not .conf)

all is working now. I made myself these two bash aliases to make it easier

alias supconf="open /usr/local/etc/supervisor.d"

update: the next day I started having some very weird problems with Horizon and Supervisor. Horizon would start but it would show nothing under supervisors and wouldn't process my queues. But if I started it manually it worked.

After trying a few things I gave up on using brew to manage (start/stop/restart) and wrote this little function which seems to work every time now

resup() {
    local configFile="/usr/local/etc/supervisord.ini"
    eval "sudo supervisorctl -c ${configFile} shutdown"
    eval "sudo supervisord -c ${configFile}"
    eval "sudo supervisorctl -c ${configFile} reread"
    eval "sudo supervisorctl -c ${configFile} update"
}
