running celery as daemon using supervisor is not working - django

Question

I have a django app in which it has a celery functionality, so i can able to run the celery sucessfully like below
celery -A tasks worker --loglevel=info
but as a known fact that we need to run it as a daemon and so i have written the below celery.conf file inside /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ folder
; ==================================
; celery worker supervisor example
; ==================================
[program:celery]
; Set full path to celery program if using virtualenv
command=/root/Envs/proj/bin/celery -A app.tasks worker --loglevel=info
user=root
environment=C_FORCE_ROOT="yes"
environment=HOME="/root",USER="root"
directory=/root/apps/proj/structure
numprocs=1
stdout_logfile=/var/log/celery/worker.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/celery/worker.log
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=10
; Need to wait for currently executing tasks to finish at shutdown.
; Increase this if you have very long running tasks.
stopwaitsecs = 600
; When resorting to send SIGKILL to the program to terminate it
; send SIGKILL to its whole process group instead,
; taking care of its children as well.
killasgroup=true
; if rabbitmq is supervised, set its priority higher
; so it starts first
priority=998
but when i tried to update the supervisor like supervisorctl reread and supervisorctl update i was getting the message from supervisorctl status
celery FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details)
So i went to worker.log file and seen the error message as below
Running a worker with superuser privileges when the
worker accepts messages serialized with pickle is a very bad idea!
If you really want to continue then you have to set the C_FORCE_ROOT
environment variable (but please think about this before you do).
User information: uid=0 euid=0 gid=0 egid=0
So why it was complaining about C_FORCE_ROOT even though we had set it as environment variable inside supervisor conf file ? what am i doing wrong in the above conf file ?

Answer 1

I had the same problem,so I added
environment=C_FORCE_ROOT="yes"
in my program config,but It didn't work
so I used
environment=C_FORCE_ROOT="true"
it's working

Answer 2

You'll need to run celery with a non superuser account, Please remove following lines from your config:
user=root
environment=C_FORCE_ROOT="yes"
environment=HOME="/root",USER="root"
And the add these lines to your config, I assume that you use django as a non superuser and developers as the user group:
user=django
group=developers
Note that subprocesses will inherit the environment variables of the
shell used to start supervisord except for the ones overridden here
and within the program’s environment option. See supervisord documents.
So Please note that when you change environment variables via supervisor config files, Changes won't apply by running supervisorctl reread and supervisorctl reload . You should run supervisor from the very start by following command:
supervisord -c /path/to/config/file.conf

Answer 3

From this other thread on stackoverflow. I managed to add the following settings and it worked for me.
app.conf.update(
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['json'],
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json',
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json',
)
