Updating a Haystack search index with Django + Celery

Question

In my Django project I am using Celery. I switched over a command from crontab to be a periodic task and it works well but it is just calling a method on a model. Is it possible

Answer 1

the easiest way to do this would probably be to run the management command directly from python and run it in your task

from haystack.management.commands import update_index
update_index.Command().handle()
