Considerations for Production Deployments
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
This document contains a number of suggestions for deploying
|
|
MediaGoblin in actual production environments. Consider
|
|
":doc:`deploying`" for a basic overview of how to deploy Media
|
|
Goblin.
|
|
|
|
Celery
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
While the ``./lazyserer.sh`` configuration provides an efficient way to
|
|
start using a MediaGoblin instance, it is not suitable for production
|
|
deployments for several reasons:
|
|
|
|
1. In nearly every scenario, work on the Celery queue will need to
|
|
balance with the demands of other processes, and cannot proceed
|
|
synchronously. This is a particularly relevant problem if you use
|
|
MediaGoblin to host Video content.
|
|
|
|
2. Processing with Celery ought to be operationally separate from the
|
|
MediaGoblin application itself, this simplifies management and
|
|
support better workload distribution.
|
|
|
|
3. If your user submits something complex and it needs to process,
|
|
that's extra time your user has to sit around waiting when they
|
|
could get back immediately to doing things on the site.
|
|
Furthermore, if that processing step takes a long time, as it
|
|
certainly will for video, your user won't just be left waiting,
|
|
their connection will probably time out.
|
|
|
|
Basically, if you're doing anything other than trivial images for a
|
|
small set of users (or something similarly trivial, like ascii art),
|
|
you want to switch over to doing a separate celery process.
|
|
|
|
Build an :ref:`init script <init-script>` around the following
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE=mediagoblin.init.celery.from_celery ./bin/celeryd
|
|
|
|
Modify your existing MediaGoblin and application init scripts, if
|
|
necessary, to prevent them from starting their own ``celeryd``
|
|
processes.
|
|
|
|
.. _init-script:
