• How do I create a Docker container?

     docker build -t rq-worker .
     docker run -d --name redis redis
     docker run -d --link redis:redis --name rq_worker rq-worker
  

  rq_settings.py specifies the Redis host/port to use and which queues to listen on. Override the default rq_settings.py by mounting a volume:

    docker run -d --link redis:redis --name rq_worker
    -v <path>/rq_settings.py:/home/docker/rq/rq_settings.py rq-worker
