Running flower with celery

Django
1

I have deployed a django app to production on fly successfully, i am trying to addflower to monitor celery, locally i run it as

python -m celery -A healthcare flower

it exposes port 5555 by default
my fly process are as follows

[processes]
    app= "gunicorn --bind :8000 --workers 2 app.wsgi"
    worker = "python -m celery -A app worker -l info"
    beat = "python -m celery -A app beat -l info"
    flower = "python -m celery -A app flower"

how can i access the flower ui?

I haven’t tested with flower, but something like the following in your fly.toml should do the trick:

[[services]]
  http_checks = []
  internal_port = 5555
  processes = ["flower"]
  protocol = "tcp"
  script_checks = []
  [services.concurrency]
    hard_limit = 25 
    soft_limit = 20 
    type = "connections"

  [[services.ports]]
    handlers = ["tls", "http"]
    port = 5555

Question, do you have some auth built into the flower? or could anyone access this UI?
How do you actually access this flowe ui? do you just go to <your_endpoint_url>:5555/ ?

@rubys - any thoughts on my question above? If I were to do this, how would authentication work how could I actually access this dashboard?

I don’t actually know anything about flower or celery, but the update to fly.toml I suggested would let you access a second application at :5555. Authentication would be up to you.
