Running Redis rq worker on Docker
I am trying to make a queue of tasks using redis rq. I was trying to follow a tutorial but I am using docker. Below is my code-
app.py
from flask import Flask, request
import redis
from rq import Queue
import time
app = Flask(__name__)
r = redis.Redis()
q = Queue(connection=r)
def background_task(n):
""" Function that returns len(n) and simulates a delay """
delay = 2
print("Task running")
print(f"Simulating a {delay} second delay")
time.sleep(delay)
print(len(n))
print("Task complete")
return len(n)
def index():
if request.args.get("n"):
job = q.enqueue(background_task, request.args.get("n"))
return f"Task ({job.id}) added to queue at {job.enqueued_at}"
return "No value for count provided"
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
Docker compose file-
version: "3.8"
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
environment:
FLASK_ENV: development
redis:
image: "redis:alpine"
Dockerfile
FROM python:3.7-alpine
WORKDIR /code
ENV FLASK_APP=app.py
ENV FLASK_RUN_HOST=0.0.0.0
RUN apk add --no-cache gcc musl-dev linux-headers
COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
EXPOSE 5000
COPY . .
CMD ["flask", "run"]
Whenever I run '''docker-compose up --build''' and open http://localhost:5000/ I get Url not found Where am I going wrong? How is one supposed to use rq worker command in docker containers.
