Beanstalkd View

A Sinatra app to view/manage beanstalkd queues that can be embedded in a Rails app similar to what's available in Resque.

Configuration

To use in a Rails app, include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'beanstalkd_view'

Otherwise, gem install beanstalkd_view

Use the following environment variable to specify the location of the beanstalk server:

ENV['BEANSTALK_URL'] = 'beanstalk://localhost/'

This environment variable can be specified per Rails environment. So for instance, the above code could be put into environments/development.rb

This can be a comma separated list, e.g. 'beanstalk://localhost:11300,beanstalk://localhost:11400'

Embedding in a Rails app

Add the following to your routes.rb file:

mount BeanstalkdView::Server, :at => "/beanstalkd"

(NOTE: You may mount the server at any path, not just /beanstalkd)

You can then browse to your application path to view information about your beanstalkd tubes, i.e. http://127.0.0.1:3000/beanstalkd

If you wish to authenticate the mounted app with Devise, it would look something like:

devise_for :admin_users, ActiveAdmin::Devise.config

match('/beanstalkd/admin/login' => redirect('/admin/login'))
authenticate :admin_user do
  mount BeanstalkdView::Server, at: "/beanstalkd"
end

Breaking changes since 2.0.0!

As of version 2.0.0, beanstalkd_view no longer supports connection to multiple beanstalkd servers due to a decision to drop connection pool support in the beaneater gem.

Troubleshooting

  1. CSS/JS assets not being served in Rails when running behind Apache or Nginx

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16167317/sinatra-static-assets-empty/16317727

Running from the command line

Run the beanstalkd_view executable, e.g.

beanstalkd_view

or from a Rails app:

bundle exec beanstalkd_view

(This will use the vegas gem to launch the Sinatra app on an available port.)

Alternatively, a Rackup file is provided. To use go to the beanstalkd_view directory and execute:

rackup

If you run beanstalkd_view from the command line you can specify the URL base path.

Set environment variable with the base URL (don't forget the leading slash '/''):

ENV['BEANSTALKD_VIEW_PATH'] = '/path'

or

export BEANSTALKD_VIEW_PATH = '/path'

Setting BEANSTALKD_VIEW_PATH applies to both rackup and vegas. The default path is '/'.

Running with Docker

You can have a look at beanstalkd_view by running it in a Docker container:

docker build -t beanstalkd_view git://github.com/denniskuczynski/beanstalkd_view.git

docker run -t -i -p 5678:5678 -e BEANSTALK_URL=beanstalk://172.17.0.2 beanstalkd_view

Most likely you have to adjust BEANSTALK_URL for your setup. You can then access beanstalkd_view on http://localhost:5678

Building the front-end Javascript

This project uses Grunt (http://gruntjs.com/) to manage javascript/css linting, concatenation, and minification, and Bower (https://github.com/bower/bower) to manage Javascript dependencies.

For development, install Grunt and Bower as specified on their websites. Then execute

bower install
grunt

from the command line after modifying any javascript or css files. The output files will be placed in the lib/beanstalkd_view/resources directory.

Running the tests

There are 2 variants of RSpec tests.

  • Without beanstalkd running, just execute: rspec spec
  • With beanstalkd running (default port), execute: rspec spec --tag requires_beanstalkd

Customization

beanstalkd_view provides a way to customize your views.

Set environment variable with desired views path:

ENV['BEANSTALKD_VIEW_TEMPLATES'] = File.join("my", "app", "views", "beanstalkd")

Then just copy lib/beanstalkd_view/views/*.erb and customize them as you want.

If you run beanstalkd_view using the command line you can set the URL base path:

ENV['BEANSTALKD_VIEW_PATH'] = '/path'

Note: the environment variables should be set before gem loads.
