Effortless supervisor-shell-ui Setup: Configuring with a Single Environment Variable
Configuring supervisor-shell-ui is as straightforward as it gets. No need to fiddle with multiple settings – just one environment variable does the trick.
The Only Variable You Need: SUPERVISOR_SOCK_PATH
The main thing you need to set up is the SUPERVISOR_SOCK_PATH. This tells supervisor-shell-ui where to find the supervisor socket file. Here’s the deal:
- SUPERVISOR_SOCK_PATH: It defines the location of the supervisor socket file. The default path is
/tmp/supervisor.sock.
Not sure where your supervisor socket file is? No sweat. Just take a peek at your supervisord.conf, which you’ll typically find at /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf. That’s where you’ll find the path.
Setting this environment variable is a breeze. Just open your terminal and punch in:
export SUPERVISOR_SOCK_PATH=/path/to/your/supervisor.sock
Replace /path/to/your/supervisor.sock with the actual path you find in your supervisord.conf.
And that’s it! With this single environment variable, supervisor-shell-ui is all set to manage your processes smoothly.

Smooth Sailing with supervisor-shell-ui: Troubleshooting Common Hiccups
Even the best of tools can hit a snag or two. supervisor-shell-ui is no exception. But fear not! Let’s tackle a couple of common issues head-on, so you can get back to managing your processes without skipping a beat.
Issue 1: Permission Denied to supervisor.sock
Imagine this: you’re all set to use supervisor-shell-ui, but bam – you hit a roadblock with a “Permission Denied” error when accessing supervisor.sock. Frustrating, right? Here’s the likely culprit – your non-root user doesn’t have the necessary permissions.
The Fix:
- Check the Permissions: First, take a peek at the permissions of
supervisor.sock. It’s usually in/tmp/supervisor.sock.bash
ls -l /tmp/supervisor.sockThis command will show you who can access the socket file.- Adjusting Permissions: If it’s locked down to root, you’ve got a few options:
- Option 1: Run
supervisor-shell-uiwith sudo. It’s straightforward but not always ideal. - Option 2: Change the permissions of the socket file. This can be a bit risky, so tread carefully.
- Option 3: The best approach? Configure Supervisor to create the socket file with more inclusive permissions. Modify your
supervisord.confto set the right umask and permissions.
- Option 1: Run
Issue 2: RPC Server Authentication Woes
Stepping up the security game, you’ve got the RPC server set up with authentication. Great for security, but here’s the catch: supervisor-shell-ui doesn’t support authentication yet. So, what do you do?
The Workaround:
