Can I use environment variables to make Celery worker connect to a different worker?












-1















I'm starting Celery worker in the way described by the manual...



$ stoneid salimfadhley$ celery worker

-------------- celery@TCR-C02X29QPJHC9.local v4.2.1 (windowlicker)

Trying again in 2.00 seconds...


Can I provide some configuration (preferably via an environment variable) so that the worker connects to a different broker address?



According to the manual, I can use the -b flag to specify a broker URL via a command line, and I can wrap the worker in a script which pulls the environment variable and stuffs it into the command line argument of celery worker... but can I bypass this? Is there an environment variable I can set which the worker will pick up?



I'm actually running this inside a Docker container - the easiest way to provide this information would be as an environment variable.

          The majority of the settings can be set via env vars. The naming convention is prefix with CELERY_ and then uppercase the setting name.



          In this case the setting is broker_url, therefore the env var is CELERY_BROKER_URL.
