When using celery worker with -A, how can I tell it where to find the app? I cant find anything like a environment or base dir option

Something like CELERY_CHDIR but from command line

Hi people

Question: How can I start a worker programmatically (django-celery)?

e.g.: I don't have access to a terminal to run 'python manage.py celery worker'

alfeto: uh ah, why would you have access to that?

I really suggest using a good hoster ;)

apollo13: Trying to set up remote instances in PaaS providers

So the idea is to launch the worker via a web interface, if possible

alfeto: fabric? supervisord?

luminous: Not sure if I can use them. The plaform I wanna try is https://www.appfog.com/.

Anyway, I can check if they work there, but there is really no way to start the workers programmaticaly? It can be useful in other situations as well

alfeto: again, fabric will let you "start the workers programmatically"

so will salt

You know that is not what I meant, right?

BUt ok, I'll try to use fabric on appfog, although I'm not sure it's possible

you asked if you could do it programmatically, that is one way

you could also use python's internal process libs

alfeto: the point: running "python manage.py celery worker" can be done by any library that supports calling/forking arbitrary commands/binaries from a shell/system

if you are set on appfog, just ask them this question

I'm sure they'll have an answer for you

luminous: Ohhh, I understood your point! I was looking for a way to interface with Celery workers inside Python, but I don't really need that.

Thanks, I know what to do now :)

hi guys, I've upgraded to Celery 3.0.12 + django-celery 3.0.11 and I'm having troubles with the init script to run celery worker as daemon. I think I got the command line fine, but I get errors like no such option --gid, no such option --workdir. Can you help ?

Looking for docs on getting celery into production with django... I don't see any, can someone point me to them? it seems like there is some big documentation shuffle or something

any links and references on the web are 404'd

When launching "celery worker" with --app, how can I specify the path the app is found in? Something like CELERYD_DIR, but for command line

why don't you just chdir to the appropriate dir?

I guess I could that, seems a little bit less elegant though
