How to (auto)start data polluter as a service?

[MatejKovacic]

First, I have installed Supervisor:
sudo apt-get install supervisor

Then I have edited config file:
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/datapollution.conf

Application will be run as user matej, it will autostart at startup and will be restarted if dies:

[program:datapollution]
command = /usr/bin/python3 /home/matej/isp-data-pollution/isp_data_pollution.py -bw 1
user=matej
autostart=true
autorestart=true

Now I update Supervisor list:
sudo supervisorctl update

And check if data polluter is working:
sudo supervisorctl status

I get this:
datapollution STARTING

However, I should get RUNNING... I have Debian 9 system.

Or is there maybe some other, more elegant way to autorun it at startup?

If you want to run it in docker, I'm maintaining a containerized version here.

You can instead create a startup entry using Startup Applications if you are using Ubuntu.

Other distros should have an alternative application.

You can just put in python3 ~/isp-data-pollution/isp_data_pollution.py -bw 1 as command.
