Role Name

Beanstalk 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.

Requirements

None

Role Variables

beanstalkd_listen_addr: Address for beanstalk to listen on. default: 127.0.0.1

beanstalkd_listen_port: Port for beanstalk to listen to. default: 11300

beanstalkd_extra: Additional command line arguments to be used when beanstalkd is invoked

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: gheydon.beanstalkd, beanstalkd_listren_addr: 127.0.0.1, beanstalkd_listen_port: 113300 }
