Enable Supervisor?

[jacksun101]

Can we have an additional variable like ENABLE_SUPERVISOR? And this is going to install the supervisor, config file and run. For the sake of database queues. For example, it might look like this.

• Dockerfile
  RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y supervisor
  COPY october-worker.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/october-worker.conf
  ADD ./run.sh /run.sh
  RUN chmod a+x /run.sh

• run.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  set -e
  php artisan october:up
  exec /usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf

• october-worker.conf
  [program:october-worker]
  process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
  command=/usr/local/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work --sleep=3 --tries=3
  autostart=true
  autorestart=true
  user=root
  numprocs=4
  redirect_stderr=true
  stdout_logfile=/var/www/html/worker.log

Making sense?

@jacksun101 Yes, that makes sense. I've introduced SUPERVISOR in other images for other purposes (e.g. octodock), but hesitate to suggest it for a worker. I see the benefits of creating a separate worker container.

What is the advantage to introducing another process for this in the container over the default sync?

That said, maybe support for a SUPERVISOR CRON process makes more sense than the current examples.

Thoughts?
