What is Beanstalkd?

Beanstalkd is a simple, fast work queue. Its interface is generic but was originally designed for reducing the latency of page views in high-volume web applications by running time-consuming tasks asynchronously.

How to Use This Image

Using Docker Hub

docker run --name some-beanstalkd -d maateen/docker-beanstalkd

Using GitHub Container Registry

docker run --name some-beanstalkd -d ghcr.io/maateen/docker-beanstalkd

Start with Persistent Storage

docker run --name some-beanstalkd -v $(pwd):/var/cache/beanstalkd -d maateen/docker-beanstalkd

Exposing External Port

docker run --name some-beanstalkd -d -p 11300:11300 maateen/docker-beanstalkd

Environment Variables

• PV_DIR: Use a binlog to keep jobs on persistent storage in directory PV_DIR. Upon startup, Beanstalkd will recover any binlog that is present in PV_DIR, then, during normal operation, append new jobs and changes in state to the binlog.
• FSYNC_INTERVAL: Call fsync(2) at most once every FSYNC_INTERVAL milliseconds. Larger values for FSYNC_INTERVAL reduce disk activity and improve speed at the cost of safety. A power failure could result in the loss of up to FSYNC_INTERVAL milliseconds of history. A FSYNC_INTERVAL value of 0 will cause Beanstalkd to call fsync every time it writes to the binlog.

Image Variants

The Beanstalkd images are based on Alpine Linux and are available for multiple architectures:

• linux/amd64
• linux/arm64

Each variant is built with different Alpine Linux versions (3.18 to 3.21) and Beanstalkd versions (1.8 to 1.13), allowing you to choose the most appropriate combination for your needs.
