Queue Worker Doesn't Work In Two Containers

[kresnasatya]

Hi everyone, currently I try to implement Laravel Job Batching using Laravel Queue Worker in Docker. Based on ServerSide Up's documentation, it recommends to run queue worker on separate container. So, I have two containers: one for laravel web app and another one for laravel queue worker. Those containers use the same docker image. I create Docker image that wrap serversideup/docker-php (php8.2-fpm-nginx) with my Laravel web app.

When I try to test job batching with those containers, the queue worker doesn't work as video below.

But, when I just use one container the queue worker works as video below.

Here's my repository that reproduce those steps above: https://github.com/kresnasatya/livewire-usecase

I'm using Laravel version 10.

I'm curious what are the things that I'm missing in order to make queue worker works on separate containers.

what is QUEUE_CONNECTION you using?

I think your issue is not about "serversideup/docker-php".

because in https://github.com/kresnasatya/livewire-usecase/blob/main/docker-compose.yml queue:work is not specify connection in https://github.com/kresnasatya/livewire-usecase/blob/main/config/queue.php

you have to specify connection for example
php artisan queue:work database --tries=3

Please take a look at https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/queues#specifying-the-connection-queue

Hi, unfortunately I try it but it doesn't work as video below.

Check you database table "jobs" to make sure dispatch is work.

The jobs records saved in app container and doesn't share record with queue container. Hmm, I think it's because of the database I'm using is sqlite instead of MySQL or Redis. I will try it later. Here's the gif.

Update: I'm using MySQL as DATABASE_CONNECTION and Redis as QUEUE_CONNECTION. Now, it works! I don't use SQLite because the database doesn't share connection or data between two containers.

Congrats, you got it.
please take a look on the network of docker.
if you change queue connection to redis is not solved because app, queue, redis container is not the same network.

hope this help.
