    Replaced Resque with Sidekiq - Migration guide - #3993

    We replaced our queue system with Sidekiq. You might know that Resque needs Redis. 🚚 Sidekiq does too, so don't remove it, it's still required. Sidekiq uses a threaded model so you'll need far less processes than with Resque to do the same amount of work.

    ⚡️ To update do the following:

    ⚡️ 1. Before updating (even before the git pull!) stop your application server (Unicorn by default, started through Foreman).

    1. In case you did already run git pull checkout v0.0.3.4:
       git fetch origin
   git checkout v0.0.3.4
   bundle

    🌐 3. Start Resque web (you'll need temporary access to port 5678, check your Firewall if needed!):

       bundle exec resque-web

    In case you need it you can adjust the port with the -p flag. 👷 4. One last time, start a Resque worker:

       RAILS_ENV=production QUEUE=* bundle exec rake resque:work

    Visit Resque web via http://your_host:5678, wait until all queues but the failed one are empty (show 0 jobs). 👷 5. Kill the Resque worker by hitting Ctrl+C. Kill Resque web with:

       bundle exec resque-web -k

    Don't forget to close the port on the Firewall again, if you had to open it.

    1. In case you needed to do step 2., run:
       git checkout master
   bundle

    ⚡️ 7. Proceed with the update as normal (migrate database, precompile assets).

    1. Before starting Diaspora again ensure that you reviewed the new environment.sidekiq section in config/diaspora.yml.example and, if wanted, transfered it to your config/diaspora.yml and made any needed changes. In particular increase the environment.sidekiq.concurrency setting on any medium sized pod. If you do change that value, edit your config/database.yml and add a matching pool: n to your database configuration. n should be equal or higher than the amount of threads per Sidekiq worker. This sets how many concurrent connections to the database ActiveRecord allows.

    If you aren't using script/server but for example passenger, you no 👷 longer need to start a Resque worker, but a Sidekiq worker now. The command for that is:

    bundle exec sidekiq

    Heroku

    The only gotcha for Heroku single gear setups is that the setting name 👷 to spawn a background worker from the unicorn process changed. Run

    heroku config:remove SERVER_EMBED_RESQUE_WORKER
heroku config:set SERVER_EMBED_SIDEKIQ_WORKER=true

    We're automatically adjusting the ActiveRecord connection pool size for you.

    Larger Heroku setups should have enough expertise to figure out what to do by them self.

    Removal of Capistrano

    🚀 The Capistrano deployment scripts were removed from the main source code repository, since they were no longer working. 🚚 They will be moved into their own repository with a new maintainer, you'll be able to find them under the Diaspora* Github organization once everything is set up.
