Booting up Sidekiq with Upstart

My goal is to have sidekiq start when the server boots up (I'm using EC2 with an auto-scaling group). I know there are a few other posts regarding getting sidekiq to start with upstart on boot, but I don't believe mine has been addressed specifically.

I'm using this wiki - https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/tree/master/examples/upstart/manage-many and have placed the scripts inside /etc/init/sidekiq.conf and /etc/init/sidekiq-manager.conf.

I've made a couple small modifications as directed in /etc/init/sidekiq.conf, changing:

I also have a /etc/sidekiq.conf that includes the following line:

/home/ubuntu/app_dir, 2

Otherwise, these scripts are identical to those included in the referenced repo. I'm getting the following errors in my logs (/var/log/upstart)

/bin/bash: line 19: cd: 2: No such file or directory Could not locate Gemfile

It appears as if it's attempting to change directory somewhere other than /home/ubuntu/app_dir, at which point it's in the wrong directory and cannot find my Gemfile.

Is there somewhere else I need to specify a correct path to my app directory?

Thanks!

You can run sidekiq as an upstart job. Making a sidekiq.conf file in /etc/init/ directory and put the upstart code to run sidekiq. Here is the complete script and the guide to make sidekiq upstart job.

After making this job, sidekiq start/stop/restart would be easy with sudo service command.
