Step 4: Create supervisor.conf file

nano /etc/supervisord.conf

[unix_http_server]
file=/var/run/supervisor/supervisor.sock ; (the path to the socket file)

minprocs=200 ; (min. avail process descriptors;default 200)

[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL for a unix socket

[include]
files = supervisord.d/*.ini
