jtilander/rq-dashboard repository overview

⁠Introduction

rq-dashboard is a general purpose, lightweight, Flask-based web front-end to monitor your RQ queues, jobs, and workers in realtime.

|Can I Use Python 3?|

⁠It looks like this

⁠Installing

.. code:: console

$ pip install rq-dashboard

⁠Running the dashboard

Run the dashboard standalone, like this:

.. code:: console

$ rq-dashboard
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:9181/
...

.. code:: console

$ rq-dashboard --help
Usage: rq-dashboard [OPTIONS]

  Run the RQ Dashboard Flask server.

  All configuration can be set on the command line or through environment
  variables of the form RQ_DASHBOARD_*. For example RQ_DASHBOARD_USERNAME.

  A subset of the configuration (the configuration parameters used by the
  underlying flask blueprint) can also be provided in a Python module
  referenced using --config, or with a .cfg file referenced by the
  RQ_DASHBOARD_SETTINGS environment variable.

Options:
  -b, --bind TEXT               IP or hostname on which to bind HTTP server
  -p, --port INTEGER            Port on which to bind HTTP server
  --url-prefix TEXT             URL prefix e.g. for use behind a reverse proxy
  --username TEXT               HTTP Basic Auth username (not used if not set)
  --password TEXT               HTTP Basic Auth password
  -c, --config TEXT             Configuration file (Python module on search
                                path)
  -H, --redis-host TEXT         IP address or hostname of Redis server
  -P, --redis-port INTEGER      Port of Redis server
  --redis-password TEXT         Password for Redis server
  -D, --redis-database INTEGER  Database of Redis server
  -u, --redis-url TEXT          Redis URL connection (overrides other
                                individual settings)
  --interval INTEGER            Refresh interval in ms
  --help                        Show this message and exit.

⁠Integrating the dashboard in your Flask app

The dashboard can be integrated in to your own Flask_ app by accessing the blueprint directly in the normal way, e.g.:

.. code:: python

from flask import Flask
import rq_dashboard

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(rq_dashboard.default_settings)
app.register_blueprint(rq_dashboard.blueprint, url_prefix="/rq")

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

If you start the Flask app on the default port, you can access the dashboard at http://localhost:5000/rq⁠. The cli.py:main entry point provides a simple working example.

⁠Developing

We use piptools_ to keep our development dependencies up to date

::

$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install git+https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools.git@future

Now make changes to the requirements.in file, and resolve all the 2nd-level dependencies into requirements.txt like so:

::

$ pip-compile --annotate requirements.in

Develop in a virtualenv and make sure you have all the necessary build time (and run time) dependencies with

::

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Develop in the normal way with

::

$ python setup.py develop

Then use Fabric to perform various development tasks. For example, to tag, build and upload to testpypi

::

$ git tag 0.3.5   # no 'v' prefix or anything
$ fab build
$ fab upload

This requires write access to both the GitHub repo and to the PyPI test site.

See fab -l for more options and fab -d <subcommand> for details.

⁠Maturity notes

The RQ dashboard is currently being developed and is in beta stage.

⁠Docker

You can also run the dashboard inside of docker, simply build the image with

:: $ make image

and you can then run the image, possibly modifying it with the following environment variables from their default values

  • REDIS_URL=redis://redis
  • USERNAME=rq
  • PASSWORD=password
