Start metric server without initializer ?

[arkhamRejek]

Is there a way to start the server without putting it in an initializer?

[arkhamRejek]

just added it to it's own initializer and added a env variable to start

[Envek]

But why you don't want to put in an initializer for Sidekiq, like in example application?

Also instead of setting env variables you can ask Sidkiq itself whether this process is a worker process or not:

Sidekiq.server?

@Envek it tried to start the server during our migrations process in our deploy process but it's already running from a previous rails process which calls the initializer. It was making our build error out for our worker & scheduler in our docker containers. So we added a flag to allow us to turn it off, well not turn it off but not to call it because that exception causes our job to exit
