Running as a service
A convenient way to run task workers is as a systemd service. Here is an example of a basic worker service file:
[Unit]
Description=Subfork Worker
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/bin
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/worker
Environment=SUBFORK_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXX
Environment=SUBFORK_SECRET_KEY=XXXXXX
Environment=SUBFORK_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/subfork.yml
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
A common location to store config files on Linux is under the /etc/ root,
so for example if you had an app called myapp you might store the subfork.yml
config file under /etc/myapp/subfork.yml.
Update the ExecStart and Environment settings with the correct values, and copy the service file to /etc/systemd/system/ and start the service.
$ sudo cp services/worker.service /etc/systemd/system/
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl start worker
$ sudo systemctl enable worker
