guisehn / oban_worker_pods

Hello

Installation

• mix deps.get

Running two app instances, with only one of them being a worker:

• PORT=4005 iex -S mix phx.server
• WORKER_NODE=true PORT=4006 iex -S mix phx.server

Then produce some jobs:

%{name: "John Doe"} |> MyApp.Workers.Basic.new |> Oban.insert

The job just prints a "Hello #{name}". You'll notice it'll only run on the worker app.

How worker node is defined

On runtime.exs, the queues config is set to [] unless WORKER_NODE is true.

Based on sorentwo's suggestion: https://elixirforum.com/t/run-oban-web-without-executing-jobs/53449/2

⚠️ it's important to do this on runtime.exs, as config.exs is compiled
