askarlabs/beanstalkd repository overview

⁠Beanstalkd - a simple, fast work queue

Beanstalk is a simple, fast work queue. Its interface is generic but was originally designed for reducing the latency of page views in high-volume web applications by running time-consuming tasks asynchronously.

⁠Quick run

⁠Without saving the data

docker run --rm -d --name beanstalkd -p 11300:11300 askarlabs/beanstalkd

This will start the beanstalk server on the host's machine's port number 11300. Please note the data will be wiped as soon as you stop the container.

⁠With saving the data

If you want to preserve the data after the container is deleted then create any folder anywhere inside your host and point it to the container's /var/lib/beanstalkd folder.

For the sake of simplicity, we are using the current folder as our beanstalk's data directory.

docker run --rm -d --name beanstalkd -v "$(pwd):/var/lib/beanstalkd" -p 11300:11300 askarlabs/beanstalkd
