How to run sidekiq in production server?

Question

I have a server with apache + passenger.

How will I run sidekiq in production? Any configuration needed to run the

bundle exec sidekiq
         


        

Answer 1

You should be able to start Sidekiq as a background process (daemon) by passing the -d argument when you start it up:

bundle exec sidekiq -d.

Although this answer should work for you now, please be aware that if the sidekiq process crashes for any reason the process will have to be manually restarted.
