I was following railscast for delayed job. Things are working perfectly on my machine. How can start delayed_job workers in production mode?
I am using delayed_job gem,(2.1.4)
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
For Rails 4
RAILS_ENV=production bin/delayed_job start
Solved my problem.
It may give you an error that tmp directory doesn't exists. Just create one and run previous command again..
You can try to run the following command:
RAILS_ENV=production cd ~/path_to_your_app/current && /usr/local/bin/ruby ./script/delayed_job start
where you should adjust /usr/local/bin/ruby based on your production server ruby configuration.

I use Delayed Job as a queuing backend for Active Job on my Rails 5 app but I have no idea how to start the worker on Ubuntu 14.04 after startup. Should I wrap rails jobs:work into a Bash script? How would I have it start automatically? Or is it preferable to use bin/delayed_job?
How do I start delayed job on boot?
It does not really matter what OS you're on (as long it is not Windows :D).
To start the processing the command is:
bundle exec rake jobs:work
to restart the delayed_job the command is:
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job restart
Check out gems README for more info.
EDIT
(according to the comment)
You can create some bash script in user's home start_delayed_jon.sh.
Something along the lines:
#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/your/project/directory/
RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake jobs:work
and run it in /etc/rc.local:
su -s /bin/bash - deploy /path/to/your/project/directory/start_delayed_jon.sh
Using the Whenever Gem, you can setup a cronjob that runs it on reboot. In your schedule.rb file:
every :reboot do
rake 'start_delayed_jobs'
end
Then in your rake file:
desc 'Start delayed jobs'
task :start_delayed_jobs do
system("#{Rails.root}/bin/delayed_job start")
end
end
If you are using gem 'delayed_job_active_record'.
You start a delayed jobs on your local ubuntu system, simply run the below command to start
./bin/delayed_job start
and to restart
./bin/delayed_job restart
If we are in development mode, we would use the below rake task instead.
bundle exec rake jobs:work
for production:
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job -n2 restart
or
RAILS_ENV=production bin/delayed_job -n2 restart
n2 is the number of delayed jobs servers you want to restart in case of start use command start instead or restart.

With the delayed_jobs gem(https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job) in rails, I am able to queue my notifications. But I don't quite understand how can I run the queued jobs on the production server. I knew I can just run
$ rake jobs:work
in the console for the local server. As the documentation said,
You can then do the following:
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop
# Runs two workers in separate processes.
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job -n 2 start
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop
# Set the --queue or --queues option to work from a particular queue.
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job --queue=tracking start
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job --queues=mailers,tasks start
# Runs all available jobs and the exits
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start --exit-on-complete
# or to run in the foreground
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job run --exit-on-complete
My question is how to integrate it with my Rails app?I was thinking to create a file called delayed_jobs.rb in config/initializers as:
# in config/initializers/delayed_jobs
script/delayed_job start if Rails.env.production?
But I am not sure if it is the right way to do with it. Thanks
The workers run as separate processes, not as part of your Rails application. The simplest way would be to run the rake task in a screen session to prevent it from quitting when you log out of the terminal session. But there are better ways:
You would use a system such as monit or God or run the worker script provided by delayed_job. You'll find more information in the answers to this question.
In my experiencie I've found my solution using capistrano gem, which in words of the official doc
It supports the scripting and execution of arbitrary tasks, and includes a set of sane-default deployment workflows.
Basically it is a tool that helps you to deploy your app, including all of those task like starting/stoping queues, migrating the database, bundle new gems, and all of those thing that we usually do with ssh connection.
Here is a beutifull tutorial about capistrano and webfaction as hosting. And here is a nice module to blend capistrano and delayed_job. At the end you should only be concern about the development environment, because every time that you need to deploy to production, you'll do a commit to your repository and then
$ cap production deploy
Which will manage the whole production environment, stoping/restarting those queues, restarting the app, installing gems and everything that you can perform through the capistrano scripting way.
I cant figure how to start Delayed Jobs on a dedicated Ubuntu server.
It works fine on my localhost but when I run on my server
sudo RAILS_ENV=production bin/delayed_job restart
I get
sudo: bin/delayed_job: command not found
On top of that, if I run the "rake jobs:work RAILS_ENV=production" command Im getting the following error:
PG::FeatureNotSupported: ERROR: SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE is not allowed in subqueries
Apparently theres an issue with my psql version.
Is there any way I can get the script to work? Any effective Capistrano recipes available? All ive found on the web are old recipes for Rails 3 and older versions of capistrano.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I have already bundled install the daemons gem and generated "delayed_job:active_record" on my local machine, then proceded to cap deploy which bundle installed and migrated in the production server.
The bin/delayed_job file exists in the server yet it fails with command not found.
And add this to config/environment.rb:
ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'
Then at your production server:
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=test production generate delayed_job:active_record && RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
Now after you do that:
RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
As for Capistrano error you are facing, please try to add the command like:
run "cd #{current_path}; #{sudo} RACK_ENV=production bundle exec #{current_path}/bin/delayed_job start"
You must run this on target server:
bundle exec rails generate delayed_job

I am using Ruby on Rails 3.0.9 and I am trying to setup the delay_job gem for my web application in order to send emails in this way:
Notifier.delay.send_email(#user)
As well as written in the official gem documentation, to start my "delayed jobs" I should use one of the following line of code
$ RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
$ RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop
# Runs two workers in separate processes.
$ RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job -n 2 start
$ RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop
or invoke the rake jobs:work task.
In production mode I prefer to use one of the RAILS_ENV=... statements, but I would like to know where (that is, in which file) I should add that code in order to start the workers on application start (BTW: at this time I am not using Capistrano to deploy my application).
More, I would like to know what exactly "workers" are and if my VPS hosting (running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) can run multiple of those or how to know how many workers my server can run.
Finally, I would like to know what options can I add in the config/initializers/delayed_job.rb file and if there are some advices or tricks about the Delay Job gem.
To start your workers on application start I would just call the proper command from an initalizer. The code to do this would look like:
system "RAILS_ENV=production #{Rails.root.join('script','delayed_job')} stop"
system "RAILS_ENV=production #{Rails.root.join('script','delayed_job')} -n 2 start"
The path might be a little off and there most likely is a cleaner way to do it but I dont know of anything off of the top of my head.
