[FIXED] How to use Systemd for Django-q daemon

Issue

I use Django-Q for task queue and scheduler. I need to keep running the command: python manage.py qcluster. How can I do it with Systemd?

I've found this code for .service file but I don't know how to use my Virtualenv for python path:

[Unit]
Description=Async tasks runner
After=network.target remote-fs.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/django-admin qcluster --pythonpath /path/to/project --settings settings
User=apache
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Solution

For those who still have problem with this, Just follow these steps:

1. create a service, example:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/qcluster.service

2. Edit service as follows:

[Unit]
Description=qcluster runner
After=network.target

[Service]
User=user
WorkingDirectory=/home/user/path_to_project
ExecStart=/home/user/path_to_project_env/bin/python manage.py qcluster

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable qcluster.service

4. Start the service:

sudo systemctl start qcluster.service
