How to set up django app + redis + celery

Hello, I’ve been trying to sign up on the platform but it has not been working at all please how can this be rectified

Hi there,

I could suggest starting with the following:

• Make sure to first install Redis on your server:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-redis-on-ubuntu-20-04

• Then deploy your Django app as normal:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04

• After that, you need to install Celery and Redis in your virtual environments:

pip install celery 
pip install redis 

• Next, in your settings.py file add the Redis details:

CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379'
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379'
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['application/json']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_TIMEZONE = TIME_ZONE

• After that once your Django instance is up and running, you can also start your Celery worker, eg:

celery -A celearyapp worker -l info

For more information I could suggest the Celery official docs on how to get started with Celery and Django:

https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/django/first-steps-with-django.html#using-celery-with-django

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Bobby
