Run at boot time + log location? about mqtt-io HOT 6 CLOSED

If you've installed the project into a virtualenv, you need to make sure you're using the right python binary. Change the command line to something like:

command=/path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/python -m pi_mqtt_gpio.server /home/pi/pi-mqtt-gpio-config.yml

I've updated the readme to contain a section about using supervisor. Try setting it up like that if it still doesn't work.

Hey @someinternetguy thanks for saying so! I'm glad it's of use for you.

I tend to use supervisor to run my programs as services. You can tell it to save the output of the program as a log file, and handles the log rotation for you. I should probably add an example deployment really. I'll leave this issue open as a reminder of that.

Hope that helps.

@flyte, an example would be most helpful... I have used supervisord before but the setup has always come prepackaged. Anyhow, thanks for the idea... I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

@flyte I was able to get supervisord on raspbian running after monkeying with it for a bit, and I created a .conf file for pi-mqtt-gpio under /etc/supervisor/conf.d/:

[program:mqtt]
command=/usr/bin/python -m pi_mqtt_gpio.server /home/pi/pi-mqtt-gpio-config.yml
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/mqtt-stderr.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes = 10MB
stderr_logfile_backups = 5
stdout_logfile=/var/log/mqtt-stdout.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes = 10MB
stdout_logfile_backups = 5

However, when I try to run your program using supervisord it fails and I see the following in the stderr log:

$ cat /var/log/mqtt-stderr.log
/usr/bin/python: No module named pi_mqtt_gpio
/usr/bin/python: No module named pi_mqtt_gpio
/usr/bin/python: No module named pi_mqtt_gpio
/usr/bin/python: No module named pi_mqtt_gpio

I feel like I'm missing the full path for pi_mqtt_gpio.server but not sure?

Your program works fine when I run it directly from the command line using /usr/bin/python -m pi_mqtt_gpio.server /home/pi/pi-mqtt-gpio-config.yml

Can you post your .conf file for supervisord?

@flyte I followed your new readme.md supervisor instructions and it worked like a charm. Many thanks!!!

Excellent! :)
