Running Airflow with upstart¶
Airflow can integrate with upstart based systems. Upstart automatically starts all airflow services for which you
have a corresponding *.conf
file in /etc/init
upon system boot. On failure, upstart automatically restarts
the process (until it reaches re-spawn limit set in a *.conf
file).
You can find sample upstart job files in the scripts/upstart
directory.
The following assumptions have been used while creating these unit files:
Airflow will run as the following
user:group
airflow:airflow
. Changesetuid
andsetgid
appropriately in*.conf
if airflow runs as a different user or groupThese files have been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS You may have to adjust
start on
andstop on
stanzas to make it work on other upstart systems. Some of the possible options are listed inscripts/upstart/README
Modify *.conf
files as needed and copy to /etc/init
directory.
You can use initctl
to manually start, stop, view status of the airflow process that has been
integrated with upstart
initctl airflow-webserver status
