It is working on Sidekiq 5.2.7 but not working on Sidekiq 6

On platform, "Ruby 2.7 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2", initctl command from upstart does not work. Seems we need to use systemctl to manage the processes.

These scripts won't work for Sidekiq >6. Does any one come by chance with updated scripts?

It seems the new solution for Amazon Linux 2 is to use a Procfile to manage Sidekiq.

https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Heroku

If you don't want to use a Procfile then I think the Sidekiq project also provided an example of how to perform the setup using systemd

https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/blob/main/examples/systemd/sidekiq.service

this gist was not working in elastic beanstalk for sidekiq.

Amazon Linux 2 and don't support the Procfile feature.

We can't use Procfile.
Did you use systemd for sidekiq?

Sorry, @lewagon has migrated away from Beanstalk 2 years ago, to Scalingo, I can't provide much help on that one :/

@ssaunier Thanks for update.

And I comment for someone who want to how to setup sidekiq on EB.
i found solution with predeploy, postdeploy
