This document describes an older version of Celery (2.5). For the latest stable version please go here.

Using the Django Database

Installation

Configuration

The database transport uses the Django DATABASE_* settings for database configuration values.

1. Set your broker transport:

   BROKER_URL = "django://"
   

2. Add kombu.transport.django to INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = ("kombu.transport.django", )
   

3. Sync your database schema:

   $ python manage.py syncdb

Limitations

The Django database transport does not currently support:

• Remote control commands (celeryev, broadcast)
• Events, including the Django Admin monitor.
• Using more than a few workers (can lead to messages being executed multiple times).
