Docker

Using the official Docker image

docker pull graphile/worker

When using the Docker image you can pass any supported options to the command line or use the supported environment variables. For the current list of supported command line options you can run:

docker run --init --rm -it graphile/worker --help

Adding tasks to execute is done by mounting the tasks directory as a volume into the /worker directory.

The following example has a tasks directory in the current directory on the Docker host. The PostgreSQL server is also running on the same host.

docker run \
  --init \
  --rm -it \
  --network=host \
  -v "$PWD/tasks":/worker/tasks \
  graphile/worker \
    -c "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres"
