pg-boss Dashboard

I'm new to this library And I find it interesting But what I'm trying to find if is there a dashboard to view the jobs result or trigger manually any? or the only solution is to check the db?

Currently only way you can see the result of jobs is through DB. It would be nice to build an UI. Some previous discussion https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/discussions/314

Here, I went and build this UI for pg-boss https://github.com/yogsma/pg-boss-dashboard. Thanks to Pg-Boss work, this was a quick thing I could built. This is just an initial version, so you might notice issues or missing features. Feel free to create a ticket and I will add them.

@timgit - I built the open source dashboard for pg-boss, you can close this ticket?

@yogsma Thanks for your contribution

I see it has only view capabilities at the moment, and things you can check in a DB GUI mostly

I was thinking maybe we fork the bull-board and use same UI bit and similar API but connected to pg-boss

Thanks @gherciu .

I intentionally added MVP capabilities for now. But I do plan to add more features. I have used bull-board previously. But I wanted to use better UI components to make it more intuitive to use. What features do you want? Feel free to create issue tickets for pg-boss-dashboard and I will add them.

I'm working on a library with a dashboard. I will release it shortly

Let me know if you have any feature requests

Hey everyone, I have just published 0.0.1! The library is called pg-bossman and it is an typed layer on top of pg-boss. There are two parts to the library:

A more type-strict version of pg-boss to define queues and send jobs. Inspired by tRPC, oRPC, and this blog post.
The dashboard you see in the image above. It works with any pg-boss v10 setup. (You don't need to use part 1 features for the dashboard to work)

GitHub: https://github.com/ludicroushq/pg-bossman NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg-bossman Example code on how to set up: https://github.com/ludicroushq/pg-bossman/blob/main/examples/next-dashboard-only/src/app/admin/dashboard/%5B%5B...path%5D%5D/route.ts

const bossmanClient = createClient({
  connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
});

const dashboard = createDashboard({
  basePath: "/admin/dashboard",
  client: bossmanClient,
});

function handler(req: Request) {
  // IMPORTANT: ensure the request is coming from an admin user.
  return dashboard(req);
}

The dashboard will work in any framework where you can take a standard Request object and return a new Response object (Next.js, TanStack Start, Hono, etc).

Current you can only view jobs. I will look into adding and cancelling jobs as well. I did some pretty basic testing and it's working but please share feedback in the github repo if you have any issues.

Hi, pg-bossman now supports pg-boss v11 (>=0.1.0). pg-boss v10 support is available in (0.0.x)

I'd created one myself...i wanted it to be a standalone app that i can just run while in my project repo and have features like:
