corbinu/node-resque-web repository overview

⁠Ruby Resque UI

This directory contains a small ruby project which will run the resque web server. This is contained within the node-resque project so that we can test and confirm that node-resque is interoperable with ruby-resque.

1. install ruby

Ensure that you have ruby installed on your system. You can confirm this with ruby --version. You can get ruby from ruby-lang.org⁠ if you don't have it. OSX comes with ruby, and most linux distributions have a top-level package (i.e.: apt-get install ruby)

1. install bundler

Bundler is the ruby package manager (think NPM). Ruby uses "gems" (packages), and bundler is a tool that can manage dependencies of a project. A Gemfile contains a list of dependancies and a Gemfile.lock is like a npm shinkwrap output, formally defining gem versions.

Install bundler with gem install bundler (the gem application is included with ruby)

1. install the packages

From within this directory, run bundle install. This equivalent to npm install

1. run the application

The ruby-resque package includes a web interface which can be "mounted" within a number of common ruby web frameworks, like sintatra, ruby-on-rails, etc. I have included the smallest possible application which is a rack⁠ application. To run this application, type bundle exec rackup. Running this command will boot the server on port 9292 (and the CLI will inform you if this changed).

This should only be used in development, as there is no security around this web interface, and you can delete everything.

⁠TLDR;

# install ruby
cd ./resque-web
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rackup

⁠Docker

⁠Docker image for Resque Web

⁠How to use

⁠Use as standalone container

You can use docker run to run this image directly.

docker run -p 9292:9292 -e REDIS_HOST=10.0.0.10 corbinu/resque-web

⁠Use Docker Compose

Docker Compose⁠ is the recommended way to run this image with Redis database.

A sample docker-compose.yml can be found in this repo.

version: '2'

services:
  web:
    image: corbinu/node-resque-web
    ports:
      - "9292:9292"
    depends_on:
      - db
    env_file:
      - env

  db:
    image: redis:3-alpine
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    env_file:
      - env
    depends_on:
      - dbdata
    volumes_from:
      - dbdata

  dbdata:
    image: tianon/true
    volumes:
      - /data

Then use docker-compose up -d to start Resque Web server.

Configurations:

If Docker Compose is used, you can just modify env file in the same directory of docker-compose.yml file to update those environment variables.
