It looks like you're trying to set environment variables in the first line and then access them via the new name in the second line. I don't think it works that way. The `environment` line sets the environment for the child process, not for supervisord, but the `ENV_` prefix gives you access only to supervisord's environment. Possibly what you want is simply the following:
command=/usr/local/opt/python/bin/flower --basic_auth=%(ENV_FLOWER_USER_NAME)s:%(ENV_FLOWER_PASSWORD)s Alternatively you could execute the python process via a shell script. This is a common approach to setting up the environment. You must however make sure that you exec the correct process at the end of the script, or supervisor will lose control of the process: #!/bin/bash # startflower.sh USER=$ENV_FLOWER_USER_NAME PASS=$ENV_FLOWER_PASSWORD exec /usr/local/opt/python/bin/flower --basic_auth=$USER:$PASS And then: # flower.conf command=/path/to/startflower.sh On Mon, Feb 09, 2015 at 10:28:54PM +0200, Aryeh Leib Taurog wrote: > You need an 's' after the closing parenthesis: > > environment=USER=%(ENV_FLOWER_USER_NAME)s,PASS=%(ENV_FLOWER_PASSWORD)s > command=/usr/local/opt/python/bin/flower > --basic_auth=%(ENV_USER)s:%(ENV_PASS)s > > See the python string formatting documentation for more on this: > <https://docs.python.org/release/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations> > > On Mon, Feb 09, 2015 at 12:20:43PM -0800, Josh Joy wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to use environment variables in my command, though unable to > > run. > > > > My supervisor configuration file > > > > environment=USER=%(ENV_FLOWER_USER_NAME),PASS=%(ENV_FLOWER_PASSWORD) > > command=/usr/local/opt/python/bin/flower > > --basic_auth=%(ENV_USER}:%(ENV_PASS) > > > > When I start supervisord, I receive the following error > > > > Restarting supervisor: Error: Format string > > 'USER=%(ENV_FLOWER_USER_NAME),PASS=%(ENV_FLOWER_PASSWORD)' for > > 'environment' is badly formatted > > > > Any ideas? > > > > Thanks, > > Josh > > > _______________________________________________ > > Supervisor-users mailing list > > Supervisor-users@lists.supervisord.org > > https://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users > > _______________________________________________ > Supervisor-users mailing list > Supervisor-users@lists.supervisord.org > https://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users _______________________________________________ Supervisor-users mailing list Supervisor-users@lists.supervisord.org https://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users
