supervisord Error: Invalid user name

Question

I am trying to configure supervisord with golang web app according to the article. But got an error when I run command sudo supervisord -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf:

Error: Invalid username deploy user # the user your app should run as (i.e. *not* root!)

I created user deployuser and added it to group supervisor

sudo adduser deployser supervisor

Supervisord config file is

[unix_http_server]
file=/var/run/supervisor.sock   ; (the path to the socket file)
chmod=0770                       ; sockef file mode (default 0700)
chown=root:supervisor            ; add our group
[supervisord]
logfile=/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log ; (main log file;default $CWD/supervisord.log)
pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid ; (supervisord pidfile;default supervisord.pid)
childlogdir=/var/log/supervisor            ; ('AUTO' child log dir, default $TEMP)

[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL  for a unix socket

[include]
files = /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf

I added user deployuser to my app config file:

[program:myGolangApp]
command=/root/path/to/my/go/lang/app/myGolangApp # the location of your app
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startretries=10
user=deployuser # the user your app should run as (i.e. *not* root!)
directory=/root/path/to/my/go/lang/app/ # where your application runs from
environment=APP_SETTINGS="/srv/www/yourapp.com/prod.toml" # environmental variables
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/myGolangApp.log # the name of the log file.
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=50MB
stdout_logfile_backups=10

My os is ubuntu server. And I am doing all the configuration logined as root.

Answer 1

Try changing the comment style in the second comment ( # -> ; )to match the first style. I can't find it in the docs, but they don't seem to use "#" for a comment.

It seems really suspicious that the entire configuration line is in the error. If it had parsed correctly, it would just contain an error value, not the comment.

It seems like you made a typo: deployser vs. deployuser
