Introduction

This is a simple docker container to monitor sidekiq queues.

Releases

The stable tag will be released very conservatively. The latest tag should work fine, but may occasionally break. Production environments should always use the stable release.

Environment variables

Redis

REDIS_URL = Redis URL (e.g., redis://redis_local:6379). This will override REDIS_HOST and REDIS_PORT, because the host and port are part of the URL. So, do not set this envrionment variable if you want to use the host/port instead.

REDIS_HOST = Redis hostname only (e.g., redis_local). This can be used in conjunction with REDIS_PORT. When using docker-compose or a stack, this is usually all you'll need to set for the Redis connection (see docker-compose.yml example)

REDIS_PORT = Redis port used with the hostname. This defaults to 6379.

If neither REDIS_URL nor REDIS_HOST are set, it defaults to redis://redis:6379 for common stack/service arrangments.

Redis Sentinel

REDIS_SENTINEL_SERVICE_URL = Optionally use the sentinel service (e.g., redis://sentinel.local).

REDIS_SENTINEL_SERVICE_PORT = Specify the sentinel service port to be used (e.g., 26379). Defaults to 26379 as the standard port.

Sidekiq plugins

SIDEKIQ_NAMESPACE = Optionally set a Redis namespace to monitor (e.g., my_namespace)

SIDEKIQ_STATUS = Optionally use the Sidekiq Status plugin. To enable, just set this env variable to enable.

SIDEKIQ_UNIQUE_JOBS = Optionally use the Sidekiq Unique Jobs plugin. To enable, just set this env variable to enable. This idea was borrowed/stolen from @onigra.

SIDEKIQ_FAILURES = Optionally use the Sidekiq Failures plugin. To enable, just set this env variable to enable. This idea was borrowed/stolen from @onigra.

General environment variables

RAILS_ENV = production, development, etc. I believe this just changes the title of the page, so you can differentiate between environments.

Add basic auth to the sidekiq monitor

This idea was borrowed/stolen from @Hunk13. Optionally add basic auth to the sidekiq monitor. This will only be enabled if both a username and password are set.

SIDEKIQ_USERNAME = Username (e.g., deckard)

SIDEKIQ_PASSWORD = Password (e.g., replicant?TRUE)

Exposed web server

Uses the default sidekiq web port 9292 internally

Example

docker run -it \
  --name sidekiq \
  -p 9292:9292 \
  -e "REDIS_URL=redis://redis.local" \
  -e "SIDEKIQ_NAMESPACE=myapp" \
  -e "SIDEKIQ_STATUS=enable" \
  -e "REDIS_SENTINEL_SERVICE_URL=redis://sentinel" \
  -e "REDIS_SENTINEL_SERVICE_PORT=22666" \
  -e "RAILS_ENV=production" \
