Database Queue - the simplest queue, even for shared hosting

IanM Thank you, I confirm this time it works

Is it just a really weird coincidence that the database scheduler on my forum stopped working on this day today of all days? Even without the upgrade

IanM

1.0.2

full fix for failed jobs not being displayed correctly

IanM Great job thank you !

IanM glad to see the queue extension moved to an official extension, thank you 🙂

When I used to invoke the queue using flarum queue:work, there were some arguments it supported I think such as --sleep, --tries, --memory, is it possible/necessary to configure those still if upgrading and allowing the scheduler to invoke the queue? Reason being, I need to ensure it has enough memory and by default I believe it's granted 128 MB, but I need to bump that up.

IanM

ctml you make a very good point actually. No, at present it does not support the additional args. It's easy enough to expose these as extensions settings, I'll get this added 🙂

IanM

1.1.0

feat: allow configuration of key parameters for the queue blomstra/flarum-ext-database-queue5 as requested by ctml

IanM Hi, I'm a little confused. You mentioned that no cron is required anymore. But the documents still say:

Set up

Go into your hosting control panel and set up the following task to run every minute:

php flarum schedule:run
Or in cron language:

* * * * cd /path/to/flarum && php flarum schedule:run

Is it the documents/readme that haven't been updated? Just want to make sure things are setup correctly. (I just updated flarum and its extensions).

MikeLundahl no before that, there was a separate cron job just for DB queues - it's integrated with the scheduler job. This is still required!

Can we use it with https://discuss.flarum.org/d/21873 ?

MikeLundahl

GreXXL Thanks!

xasharma Redis is a different implementation of queues. It's either use Redis or DB queues.

xasharma

GreXXL ok ... Btw which one is better ?

luceos What is the difference with blomstra/flarum-redis?
The redis package (it's officially not an extension) is meant for larger communities. Redis offers the ability to scale the number of workers up however you need. Running a queue worker which pulls jobs from the database can also negatively impact your community performance when processing a lot of notifications and other queue tasks.

xasharma

luceos Great ... Understood.

Today I entered in the Flarum admin where in the Dashboard I see 12 failed job.
This are reported same in two communities.
How to know what this failed job are?

luceos

peopleinside I don't think there's an interface for that yet. But you can find it in the database under failed_tasks I think.

peopleinside

luceos thanks.

I found the records and those seems to be old by February 2024 so maybe... the plugin queue still showing me old things already resolved. I will delete this from the database.

A UI for that will be useful and also a way to clean errors 🙂

I don't know what is happening but every action (no matter if it's updating, installing or removing/deleting extensions) I try to do results in giving this error...

Cause
Unknown
Composer Command
$ composer
Output
Flarum\ExtensionManager\Job\ComposerCommandJob has been attempted too many times or run too long. The job may have previously timed out.

I have cron set up right as it's been sending me emails with the info of the jobs but for whatever reason the script can't successfully add the extension.
