Using Beanstalk
Out of order
The Beanstalk transport is currently not working well.
We are interested in contributions and donations that can go towards improving this situation.
Installation
For the Beanstalk support you have to install additional dependencies. You can install both Celery and these dependencies in one go using the celery[beanstalk] bundle:
$ pip install -U celery[beanstalk]
Configuration
Configuration is easy, set the transport, and configure the location of your Beanstalk database:
BROKER_URL = 'beanstalk://localhost:11300'
Where the URL is in the format of:
beanstalk://hostname:port
The host name will default to localhost and the port to 11300, and so they are optional.
Results
Using Beanstalk to store task state and results is currently not supported.
Limitations
The Beanstalk message transport does not currently support:
- Remote control commands (celery control, celery inspect, broadcast)
- Authentication
