Does my deploy user need to belong to the sudoer list for Upstart to start GUnicorn?
Here is the error from my Upstart log
deploy is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
It works fine if I do not specify the setuid and setgid. But I suspect that running the process as root is not a good idea. This is the upstart script that I'm running:
description "Gunicorn for django_instance"
start on (filesystem) stop on runlevel [016]
respawn console log
# Setting these to nobody and nogroup does not work either # setuid nobody # setgid nogroup
setuid deploy
setgid deploy
script
chdir /home/deploy/django_instance exec sudo -u deploy -g deploy /home/deploy/venvs/test_env/bin/gunicorn django_instance.wsgi:applicationend script
