This page collects tips and tricks for deploying and using Faktory within Docker.
Faktory expects configuration files in /etc/faktory/conf.d
. Mount your config directory into the container at this location using -v /my/local/config/path:/etc/faktory/conf.d
.
Faktory uses Redis under the hood and looks for its data in /var/lib/faktory/db
. Mount a persistent volume here so that your data does not disappear if the container restarts: -v /redis/data/path:/var/lib/faktory/db
.
Installation is very easy with the public Docker images. See the Installation wiki page for full details.
If you are using Faktory Enterprise, these tips will help.
Remember that each release contains a macOS binary for Faktory Enterprise which can be used without a license to trial functionality and develop your application.
Use Docker Secrets and mount the license at /etc/faktory/license
or a FAKTORY_LICENSE
environment variable.
Faktory Enterprise has a private repository with Docker images. See Ent-Installation wiki pages for how to use them.
Lots of detail in Issue 19 and Kubernetes Deployment Example.
Probes allow Kubernetes to monitor the health of a container. Faktory has two ports: Command on 7419 and Web UI on 7420.
For the Web UI, you can probe http://localhost:7420/stats
to fetch the current Faktory stats in JSON form. This is the lightest weight Web UI endpoint. In production you will need to configure HTTP Basic Auth via the httpHeaders
option (example).
For the Command Port, you can use a TCP probe to port 7419.
See Configuring Probes for more detail.
