Now make it executable :

sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/celeryd

# App instance to use
# comment out this line if you don’t use an app
CELERY_APP="yourprojectname"
# Where to chdir at start.
CELERYD_CHDIR="/path/to/your/project"

# Names of nodes to start
#   most will only start one node:
CELERYD_NODES="worker1"
#   but you can also start multiple and configure settings
#   for each in CELERYD_OPTS (see `celery multi –help` for examples).
CELERYD_NODES="worker"

# Absolute or relative path to the ‘celery’ command:
CELERY_BIN="/usr/local/bin/celery"
#CELERY_BIN="/virtualenvs/def/bin/celery"

# Extra command-line arguments to the worker
CELERYD_OPTS="–time-limit=300 –concurrency=8"

# %N will be replaced with the first part of the nodename.
CELERYD_LOG_FILE="/var/log/celery/%N.log"
CELERYD_PID_FILE="/var/run/celery/%N.pid"

# Workers should run as an unprivileged user.
#   You need to create this user manually (or you can choose
#   a user/group combination that already exists, e.g. nobody).
CELERYD_USER="ubuntu"
CELERYD_GROUP="ubuntu"

# If enabled pid and log directories will be created if missing,
# and owned by the userid/group configured.
CELERY_CREATE_DIRS=1

Then, we need to chown required folder :

1
2
sudo chown ubuntu -R /var/run/celery/
sudo chown ubuntu -R /var/log/celery

Now we ready to start the services by

1
sudo service celeryd start

You can see the log at “/var/log/celery/worker.log”

For Celerybeat, create file “/etc/init.d/celerybeat” :

Then make it executable by “sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/celerybeat”.

Now, setup configuration by create file “/etc/default/celerybeat” :

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# Where to chdir at start.
CELERYBEAT_CHDIR="/project/path/"

# Extra arguments to celerybeat
CELERYBEAT_OPTS="–schedule=/var/run/celery/celerybeat-schedule"

# Name of the celery config module.#
CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE="celeryconfig"

And start celerybeat by :

1
sudo service celerybeat start
