How do I set up Celery with Docker?

To set up Celery with Docker, you'll need to create a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml file. Would you like a sample configuration?

Yes, please provide a sample Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml.

Here's a simple Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.8

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD ["celery", "-A", "your_project_name", "worker"]

And a sample docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  celery:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - .:/app
    command: celery -A your_project_name worker

Make sure to replace your_project_name with your actual project name.

What should I include in the requirements.txt file?

In your requirements.txt, include Celery and any other dependencies your project needs, like Redis or RabbitMQ. For example:

celery
redis
