Run Sidekiq as daemon on Ubuntu

Question

How can I run sidekiq as daemon on Ubuntu?

If I run bundle exec sidekiq -D I get invalid option: -D, is there any way to run it without some other controller, like god, upstart...?

Answer 1

there's an option to Daemonize sidekiq, just pass -d option

commit

Answer 2

As of sidekiq 6.0 Daemonization wouldnt work and if you pass -d, you'll get a message:

Daemonization mode was removed in Sidekiq 6.0, please use a proper process supervisor to start and manage your services
