Supervising virtualenv django app via supervisor

Question

I'm trying to use supervisor in order to manage my django project running gunicorn inside a virtualenv. My conf file looks like this:

[program:diasporamas]
command=/var/www/django/bin/gunicorn_django
directory=/var/www/django/django_test
process_name=%(program_name)s
user=www-data
autostart=false
stdout_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn_diasporamas.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stdout_logfile_backups=2
stderr_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn_diasporamas_errors.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stderr_logfile_backups=2enter code here

The problem is, I need supervisor to launch the command after it has run 'source bin/activate' in my virtualenv. I've been hanging around google trying to find an answer but didn't find anything.

Note: I don't want to use virtualenvwrapper

Any help please?

Answer 1

The documentation for the virtualenv activate script says that it only modifies the PATH environment variable, in which case you can do:

[program:diasporamas]
command=/var/www/django/bin/gunicorn_django
directory=/var/www/django/django_test
environment=PATH="/var/www/django/bin"
...

Since version 3.2 you can use variable expansion to preserve the existing PATH too:

[program:diasporamas]
command=/var/www/django/bin/gunicorn_django
directory=/var/www/django/django_test
environment=PATH="/var/www/django/bin:%(ENV_PATH)s"

...
