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.
