How to run celery on windows?

Question

How to run celery worker on Windows without creating Windows Service? Is there any analogy to $ celery -A your_application worker?

Answer 1

Compile Celery with --pool=solo argument.

Example: celery -A your-application worker -l info --pool=solo

Answer 2

I have run celery task using RabbitMQ server. RabbitMq is better and simple than redis broker

while running celery use this command "celery -A project-name worker --pool=solo -l info" and avoid this command "celery -A project-name worker --loglevel info"

Answer 3

There are two workarounds to make Celery 4 work on Windows:

• use eventlet, gevent or solo concurrency pool (if your tasks as I/O and not CPU-bound)
• set the environment variable FORKED_BY_MULTIPROCESSING=1 (this is what actually causes the underlying billiard package to to fail under Windows since version 4)

Answer 4

I've made a .bat file besides my manage.py file with this code:

title CeleryTask
::See the title at the top.
cd 
cmd /k celery -A MainProject worker -l info

so each time I want to run celery, I just double-click this batch file and it runs perfectly. And the fact that you can't use celery 4 on windows is true.
