Configure Shadowsocks with Supervisor

中文版

If you want to run Shadowsocks in the background, use supervisor.

Here is an example of running shadowsocks with supervisor on Debian 7.0:

Run

apt-get update
apt-get install python-pip python-m2crypto supervisor
pip install shadowsocks

Edit /etc/shadowsocks.json

{
    "server":"my ip",
    "server_port":8388,
    "local_port":1080,
    "password":"my password",
    "timeout":600,
    "method":"aes-256-cfb"
}

Edit /etc/supervisor/conf.d/shadowsocks.conf

[program:shadowsocks]
command=ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json
autorestart=true
user=nobody

Add the following line into /etc/default/supervisor

ulimit -n 51200

Run

service supervisor start
supervisorctl reload

Now it's up.

You can check logs or control the shadowsocks process:

supervisorctl tail -f shadowsocks stderr
supervisorctl restart shadowsocks
