description Supervisor (Basic Linux) Overview
This represents the most basic, bare-bones use of Supervisor on a minimal Linux install. It is ideal for users who only need to monitor 2-3 simple, non-interacting scripts and do not want the complexity of systemd or the overhead of Docker. It provides reliable, straightforward process supervision for small, dedicated servers.
help Supervisor (Basic Linux) FAQ
What is Supervisor used for on a basic Linux server?
Supervisor keeps background processes running and can restart them when they exit, making it suitable for a minimal Linux installation. This entry is aimed at monitoring 2-3 simple, non-interacting scripts rather than running a large container platform.
Is Supervisor a replacement for systemd?
Supervisor can handle basic process supervision without requiring systemd unit files. Systemd remains the deeper system manager on most modern Linux distributions, while Supervisor is a simpler fit for a few independent scripts.
Can Supervisor restart a script after it crashes?
Yes, automatic restart is the main use described for this Supervisor setup, provided the command and restart policy are configured correctly. It can restart one of the targeted 2-3 scripts, but it cannot repair a bug inside the script itself.
Does this Supervisor setup require Docker?
No, Supervisor runs directly on Linux, and this basic setup is specifically intended to avoid Docker overhead. It fits small scripts that share one host and do not need isolated containers.
