Supervisord on Linux

Assuming:

• You are running on Linux
• You have installed supervisord
• You have seen a shell prompt at least a few times in your life
• You have configured your stuff properly in config.ini
• You understand worker separation
• You can tie your own shoelaces

The good stuff

cd into your root PokemonGO Map folder. Then:

cd contrib/supervisord/
./gen-workers.sh

When this completes, you will be in your ~/supervisord directory with all the required files. (this copies itself and the required files so that there is no conflict when doing a git pull. Now we are going to edit your local copy of gen-workers.sh:

nano gen-workers.sh

In this file, change the variables needed to suit your situation. Below is a snippet of the variables:

# Name of coords file
coords="coords.txt"

# Webserver Location
initloc="Dallas, TX"
# Account name without numbers
pre="accountname"

# Variables
hexnum=1   # This is the beehive number you are creating. If its the first, or you want to overwrite, dont change
worker=0   # This is the worker number. Generally 0 unless 2+ Hives
acct1=0    # The beginning account number for the hive is this +1
numacct=5  # This is how many accounts you want per worker
pass="yourpasshere" # The password you used for all the accounts
auth="ptc" # The auth you use for all the accounts
st=5       # Step Count per worker
sd=5       # Scan Delay per account
ld=1       # Login Delay per account
directory='/path/to/your/runserver/directory/' # Path to the folder containing runserver.py

As you saw above you will need to create a coords.txt (or whatever you decide to name it. I personally use city.stepcount.coords as my naming convention). Example:

Create file ~/supervisor/coords.txt:

44.4908702, 26.0084664
44.4652468, 26.0084664
44.4396234, 26.0084664
44.4140000, 26.0084664
44.3883766, 26.0084664
44.5036861, 26.0395188
44.4780627, 26.0395188

Don't be dumb, use your ACTUAL coordinates, ONE PER LINE, NO EMPTY LINES! For those asking "how to i get the list of coords?!?!" use the Tools/Hex-Beehive-Generator/location_generator.py with your arguments and the -v flag so it prints your list of coords to the screen. (I am going to see if i can get them to allow coords output to text file)

Then re-run the gen-workers.sh script

cd ~/supervisor/
./gen-workers.sh

You should now have a bunch of .ini files in ~/supervisor/hex1/

You can now do:

cd ~/supervisor
supervisord

And you will have a working controllable hive! You should be able to see from the web as well at http://localhost:5001 Read up on the supervisord link at the top if you want to understand more about supervisorctl and how to control from the web.
