celery.bin.multi
¶
Start multiple worker instances from the command-line.
Examples
$ # Single worker with explicit name and events enabled.
$ celery multi start Leslie -E
$ # Pidfiles and logfiles are stored in the current directory
$ # by default. Use --pidfile and --logfile argument to change
$ # this. The abbreviation %n will be expanded to the current
$ # node name.
$ celery multi start Leslie -E --pidfile=/var/run/celery/%n.pid
--logfile=/var/log/celery/%n%I.log
$ # You need to add the same arguments when you restart,
$ # as these aren't persisted anywhere.
$ celery multi restart Leslie -E --pidfile=/var/run/celery/%n.pid
--logfile=/var/log/celery/%n%I.log
$ # To stop the node, you need to specify the same pidfile.
$ celery multi stop Leslie --pidfile=/var/run/celery/%n.pid
$ # 3 workers, with 3 processes each
$ celery multi start 3 -c 3
celery worker -n celery1@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n celery2@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n celery3@myhost -c 3
$ # override name prefix when using range
$ celery multi start 3 --range-prefix=worker -c 3
celery worker -n worker1@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n worker2@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n worker3@myhost -c 3
$ # start 3 named workers
$ celery multi start image video data -c 3
celery worker -n image@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n video@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n data@myhost -c 3
$ # specify custom hostname
$ celery multi start 2 --hostname=worker.example.com -c 3
celery worker -n celery1@worker.example.com -c 3
celery worker -n celery2@worker.example.com -c 3
$ # specify fully qualified nodenames
$ celery multi start foo@worker.example.com bar@worker.example.com -c 3
$ # fully qualified nodenames but using the current hostname
$ celery multi start foo@%h bar@%h
$ # Advanced example starting 10 workers in the background:
$ # * Three of the workers processes the images and video queue
$ # * Two of the workers processes the data queue with loglevel DEBUG
$ # * the rest processes the default' queue.
$ celery multi start 10 -l INFO -Q:1-3 images,video -Q:4,5 data
-Q default -L:4,5 DEBUG
$ # You can show the commands necessary to start the workers with
$ # the 'show' command:
$ celery multi show 10 -l INFO -Q:1-3 images,video -Q:4,5 data
-Q default -L:4,5 DEBUG
$ # Additional options are added to each celery worker's command,
$ # but you can also modify the options for ranges of, or specific workers
$ # 3 workers: Two with 3 processes, and one with 10 processes.
$ celery multi start 3 -c 3 -c:1 10
celery worker -n celery1@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n celery2@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n celery3@myhost -c 3
$ # can also specify options for named workers
$ celery multi start image video data -c 3 -c:image 10
celery worker -n image@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n video@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n data@myhost -c 3
$ # ranges and lists of workers in options is also allowed:
$ # (-c:1-3 can also be written as -c:1,2,3)
$ celery multi start 5 -c 3 -c:1-3 10
celery worker -n celery1@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n celery2@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n celery3@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n celery4@myhost -c 3
celery worker -n celery5@myhost -c 3
$ # lists also works with named workers
$ celery multi start foo bar baz xuzzy -c 3 -c:foo,bar,baz 10
celery worker -n foo@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n bar@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n baz@myhost -c 10
celery worker -n xuzzy@myhost -c 3
