  • An Internet of PHP
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Sep 2023
    What I went with was having both a web server (Apache/Nginx) and PHP-FPM in the same container image, held together by Supervisor: http://supervisord.org/

    In my case, the Dockerfile looks a bit like the following:

      # Whatever base web server image you want, Debian/Ubuntu based here
  • Private Python Packages With devpi
    4 projects | dev.to | 1 Jul 2023
    As you can see there are several methods of running devpi server including cron, launchd (OSX service), nginx, Windows service, and supervisord. It also has a systemd service file which we can use to manage the service easily as Ubuntu uses it for primary service management. First off though we're going to need a proxy script to ensure that devpi is running in the virtual environment:

    If it's a linux box you can make it a systemctl service, or you could use http://supervisord.org/.
  • Have you convinced anyone to use Nix or NixOS? Friends? Coworkers?
    5 projects | /r/NixOS | 16 Apr 2023
    I convinced (previous) $dayjob to use it. It (nix) kind of hung around in the background with the team that used haskell for awhile, but became prime time when we needed to support a range of VMs running within client infrastructure that were in reality just running various python scripts under supervisord (http://supervisord.org/). The range of client machines (redhat, centos, debian, ubuntu all of different releases) with differing versions of python and supervisord were driving our support and devops teams crazy (but in a weird way - they thought they were being productive, and really enjoyed tweaking things to work with additional varieties of os...). Additionally, having to work around some minor pain points of supervisord (adding and removing config files and not interrupting running services) lead to the realisation that there was a perfectly good service manager at the bottom of the modern versions of these systems (systemd) and that nixos was just a nix wrapper around this systemd and it would only restart what actually changed...

    Here's more information about the configuration file format, in case anyone is curious: http://supervisord.org/configuration.html

    My problem is that it's not always immediately clear how software that would normally run as a systemd service could be launched in the foreground instead. It usually takes a bit of digging around.

  • How We Built an Application to Test Student Docker Images for Database Systems University Course
    6 projects | dev.to | 24 Feb 2023
    This post is structured as follows: The first chapter Requirements and Design, describes the requirements for such an application, defines its processes, breaks it down into logical components, and proposes a data model. The second chapter Implementation, provides an introduction to key implementation issues, such as implementing asynchronous tasks and LDAP authentication. It also showcases the usage of Docker with Python SDK in the project, including network configuration, and describes the deployment configuration using supervisord. The final chapter summarizes the efforts and provides links to the code repositories.

  • MISP at scale on Kubernetes
    10 projects | dev.to | 17 Nov 2022
    The project MISP-Docker from Coolacid is providing a containerized version of the MISP solution. This all-in-one solution includes the frontend, background jobs, cronjobs and an HTTP Server (Nginx) all orchestrated by process manager tool called supervisor. External services such as the database and Redis aren’t part of the container but are necessary. We decided that this project is very a good starting point to scale the MISP on Kubernetes.

    So far in this article, you’ve started the queue workers manually. In a production server, that's not an option. Instead, you'll have to use a program called supervisor. It's a popular process control system for UNIX-like operating systems. If you're deploying an application on a Ubuntu server, supervisor will come pre-installed. However, if you're on a platform that doesn't come with the program pre-installed, follow the official installation instructions.

    Not sure if this helps, but on normal Linux systems I usually use supervisor to ensure processes keep running

    4 projects | dev.to | 13 Oct 2022
    While there is a debate on which ones are the best, we will be using Passenger and Nginx, since they are both fast and reliable. You may wish to do your own research and see which one works for you.

    In this tutorial we will be deploying a Rails app with Passenger, as the application server, and Nginx, as the web server. Also, the Rails app will use Postgres, so we will be installing that as well.

  • 5 Basic Things you need to know about managing a Linux server
    2 projects | dev.to | 29 Jun 2021
    PHP is great, but not for all of us. What about running Node.js or Python apps? You might be tempted to use proxy_pass but it won't handle the app startup and crashes for us. Luckily we have a better option: Phusion Passenger.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing supervisor and Phusion Passenger you can also consider the following projects:

PM2 - Node.js Production Process Manager with a built-in Load Balancer.

Docker Compose - Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

Puma - A Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism

honcho - Honcho: a python clone of Foreman. For managing Procfile-based applications.

Nodemon.io - Monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server - perfect for development

Thin - A very fast & simple Ruby web server

psutil - Cross-platform lib for process and system monitoring in Python

systemd - The systemd System and Service Manager

RabbitMQ - Open source RabbitMQ: core server and tier 1 (built-in) plugins

Ansible - Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
