DirectQueue Go

Direct Queue worker for Drupal 8 in Go

This Go file watches the Drupal Queue and processes items as soon as it notices them or there is space in the queue.

Drupal Console is required for getting the database connection and processing queue items.

The Drupal module direct_queue is required to process items.

Running

Download any of the releases that matches your platform. You don't need any dependencies to run the program (besides being able to run Drupal Console). The workers can also run on a separate machine as long as the Drupal codebase, Drupal Console and database connection are available.

You can run the program by executing it on the shell:

./linux_amd64_DirectQueueGo --site "/var/www/mysite.com" --uri "http://mysite.com"

This will start the program with the default settings. See ./linux_amd64_DirectQueueGo help for the available configuration.

You can also wrap it in a upstart/init.d script, examples on that will come soon.

Options

Parameter	Default Value	Description
--console	"console"	Path to Drupal Console. Full path or just binary to search in $PATH.
--site	""	Full path to the Drupal root.
--uri	""	URI to pass to Drupal, useful when you are generating links.
--skip-queues	""	Comma separated list of queues to skip, can't be used together with handle-queues.
--handle-queues	""	Comma separated list of queues to handle, can't be used together with skip-queues.
--queue-workers	""	Amount of workers to use per queue, format: "publish_scheduler:1,entity_update:4".
--default-worker-count	Amount of CPUs-1	Default amount of workers, default value is amount of CPUs - 1.
--db-password	DB Password	Password for the database if it can't be read by Drupal Console.

Compiling

Make sure you are able to run a Go 1.6 (though 1.4/1.5 should also work) environment and that you have Godeps available.

git clone https://github.com/VDMi/DirectQueueGo.git
cd DirectQueueGo
godep restore
go build
./DirectQueueGo help

After the go build, DirectQueueGo will contain the compiled binary. You can also use go run to run the program without compiling.
