I’ve been able to successfully move almost everything from Heroku over to DigitalOcean, and it’s been working great.
The last piece that I’m having trouble finding documentation on is Heroku Workers. I’m able to create workers within their Procfile like this:
web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 www/ workerA: php bin/example-file1.php workerB: php bin/example-file2.php
The scripts in the workers can run longer than the 30 second maximum imposed by Heroku for longer running tasks.
I’m unsure how to replicate this in DigitalOcean, and searching “worker” doesn’t really help.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi there @lorkel,
Happy to hear that it is all working well for you so far!
What you could do is to just adjust your PHP
max_execution_timevia yourphp.inifile.If you are running those PHP scripts via your command line, you could find the location of your
php.iniby running the following command:Then open the file and adjust the
max_execution_timevalue.If those scripts are triggered via your browser, then you could create a PHP info file:
Then visit that via your browser and with
CTRL+Fsearch forphp.ini. Once you find that location again as before open the file and adjust themax_execution_timevalue.After that you would need to restart Apache so that this new value takes effect:
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
