This repository contains a Dockerfile for building the Valohai Worker queue and scripts to deploy the queue.

The Docker image built is based on the official Ubuntu 20.04 image and contains:

• Redis (version 6+)
• acmetool (modified for ACMEv2 support)
• a startup script that wants the specified SSL certificate and runs Redis with the given password

Build: ./build.sh

Publish: ./publish.sh

⚠️ The worker queue host machine needs to have port 80 open to the internet and port 63790 open to Valohai (roi) and workers (peon)!

Installing the worker queue on a machine is as easy as running: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/valohai/worker-queue/main/host/setup.sh | sudo QUEUE_ADDRESS=your-queue-address-here REDIS_PASSWORD=your-redis-password-here REDIS_PORT=redis-tls-port bash

This installs Docker and creates a systemd service that runs the worker queue with the given parameters.

Replace your-queue-address-here with the xxx.vqueue.net address configured in Valohai's AWS Route 53 and your-redis-password-here with an agreed-upon password for Redis.

Running the above is equal to running the setup script directly: sudo QUEUE_ADDRESS=your-queue-address-here REDIS_PASSWORD=your-redis-password-here ./setup.sh

If you want to install the worker queue without running the setup script setup.sh at all, here are the steps required:

• Prepare a Linux host machine with Docker installed
• Run docker pull valohai/worker-queue:latest
• Copy host/worker-queue.service from this repository to /etc/systemd/system/worker-queue.service
• Replace the following values in etc/systemd/system/worker-queue.service: $QUEUE_ADDRESS with your xxx.vqueue.net address and $REDIS_PASSWORD with an agreed-upon password for Redis
• Run systemctl enable worker-queue
• Run systemctl start worker-queue
