I need to proxy multiple environment variables from /etc/environment to a process managed by a supervisor.

The following configuration worked for me with supervisor 3.0r1-1 but supervisor 3.2.0-2 reports an error:

environment=FOO=$FOO,BAR=$BAR,BAZ=$BAZ

Error: Unexpected end of key/value pairs in value...

Some answers suggest to quote the values but if I do so, the variables wouldn't be expanded to real values.

What am I doing wrong? How to fix it?

According to http://supervisord.org/configuration.html?highlight=environment, have you tried putting them all on one line? 

environment=A="1",B="2"

(that is, = is used for both environment itself and for the key-value pairs, separated by commas, with the values bounded with quotation marks)

Also, where does $FOO come from? http://supervisord.org/subprocess.html#subprocess-environment says 'No shell is executed by supervisord when it runs a subprocess' so its not clear how you expect $FOO to work.

  • $FOO is an environment variable. Commented May 29, 2017 at 20:59
  • From where though? Supervisord isn't passing that to a shell, so its not going to know how to handle it other than as a string. Commented May 29, 2017 at 21:00

    Subprocesses will inherit the environment of the shell used to start the supervisord program. $FOO is an environment variable of the shell used to start the supervisord program. Commented May 29, 2017 at 21:00

    I defined those variables in /etc/environment. Commented May 29, 2017 at 21:04
  • @Kolyunya so did it, why it's not reading these variables ? Commented May 23, 2023 at 8:34
