Celery Docker Example

This is a sample project to demonstrate how to run a Celery task inside a Django project in a Docker container.

You can read step-by-step instructions here <-- link TBD.

Local development setup

Fork this repo into your own GitHub space.

Clone this project as proj:

git clone [email protected]:[your_username]/celery-docker-example.git proj

Note to add proj to the end of the command so it clones onto your machine with a shorter, easier-to-type name.

Make a Python 3.6.x virtual environment and install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setting up docker-compose

Using a virtual environment, even when using Docker, is useful so you have easy access to your dependecies and are still isolated from other projects.

Assuming you have Docker and docker-compose installed, activate your virtual environment and run

docker-compose up
