Run Laravel Horizon as a background service

Question

My question is what is the best and simple way to run the Laravel Horizon based job workers?

My Tech Stack

Laravel 5.5
Horizon
Redis Queues
Centos

I have gone through the document https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/horizon

How to setup following supervisor as mentioned on the link above
Supervisor Configuration

[program:horizon]
process_name=%(program_name)s
command=php /home/forge/app.com/artisan horizon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=forge
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/home/forge/app.com/horizon.log

Note: I have my own custom build server with php 7.1 and I later installed Horizon to run my Jobs and maintain the queues.

Any suggestion regarding how to run the Workers or where should I configure above Supervisor Configuration?

Make sure you have supervisor installed:

For debian/ubuntu:

apt install supervisor

centos:

easy_install supervisor

or

yum install supervisor

You can also do:

systemctl enable supervisord

To make sure supervisor runs at startup

Now create a new file in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ named horizon.conf and add the above configuration.

Now do:

sudo supervisorctl reread

To reread the configs

sudo supervisorctl update

To reload the configs and restart the process

sudo supervisorctl start all

or

sudo supervisorctl start horizon

To start horizon

Note that if you have an `/etc/supervisord.d/` folder instead; the extension should be `.ini` – Jonas D. Oct 05 '18 at 09:54
This was helpful. Is the best way to check that it is running to just go to /horizon ? – Jordan Feb 29 '20 at 22:31

@Jordan Yes, you can see an overview of the running instances on the horizon dashboard page – Robert Mar 02 '20 at 13:14
