Environment Variables

The common set of settings can also be modified via environment variables when using the Docker image. In addition to the common set of settings, some Docker image specific environment variables are available.

Celery

The Docker image ships with four workers by default. These are named: A, B, C, D. The workers are differentiated by the response time of the tasks they handle. The “A” worker handles the interactive tasks that are expected to complete the fastest and the “D” worker handling the long running tasks.

Worker A

• MAYAN_WORKER_A_CONCURRENCY

  Optional. Allows setting the worker’s concurrency value (https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/userguide/workers.html#concurrency). Default: 0.

• MAYAN_WORKER_A_MAX_MEMORY_PER_CHILD

  Optional. Allows setting the worker’s max-memory-per-child value (https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/userguide/workers.html#max-memory-per-child-setting). Default: 300000.

• MAYAN_WORKER_A_MAX_MEMORY_PER_CHILD

  Optional. Allows setting the worker’s maximum_tasks_per_child value (https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/userguide/workers.html#maximum_tasks_per_child). Default: 100.

Worker B

Mayan EDMS

• MAYAN_SETTINGS_MODULE

• MAYAN_SKIP_CHOWN_ON_STARTUP

  Optional. Setting this environment variable to true, will make the entrypoint script skip the initial chwon command on the media folder at /var/lib/mayan.

Operating system

• MAYAN_APT_INSTALLS

  Specifies a list of .deb packages to be installed via APT when the container is first created. The installed packages are not lost when the image is stopped. Example: To install the Tesseract OCR language packs for German and Spanish add the following in your docker start command line:

  -e MAYAN_APT_INSTALLS="tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-spa"

  Optional. Executed after the container’s environment variables are configured, after the UID/GID setup, extra OS package installation and extra Python library installations but before launching the Mayan EDMS stack. Executes the content as a script or call a script using the value as the filename.
