This document describes the current stable version of Celery (5.3). For development docs, go here.

celery.worker.worker

WorkController can be used to instantiate in-process workers.

The command-line interface for the worker is in celery.bin.worker, while the worker program is in celery.apps.worker.

The worker program is responsible for adding signal handlers, setting up logging, etc. This is a bare-bones worker without global side-effects (i.e., except for the global state stored in celery.worker.state).

The worker consists of several components, all managed by bootsteps (mod:celery.bootsteps).

class celery.worker.worker.WorkController(app=None, hostname=None, **kwargs)

Unmanaged worker instance.

class Blueprint(steps=None, name=None, on_start=None, on_close=None, on_stopped=None)

Worker bootstep blueprint.
