Disable pidfile for celerybeat
11,203
Solution 1
The following seems to have worked for a few people so I'm submitting it as the answer:
python manage.py celerybeat --pidfile= --schedule=/var/my_app/celerybeat-schedule
--pidfile=
(an empty string as the pidfile arg) seems to stop one being created.
Solution 2
So for me, I ammended the following in my development docker-compose.yml
file:
web
...
command: bash -c "python3 manage.py makemigrations && python3 manage.py migrate --run-syncdb && python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8982"
to:
web
...
command: bash -c "rm -rf celerybeat.pid && python3 manage.py makemigrations && python3 manage.py migrate --run-syncdb && python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8982"
I'm sure there is a more elegant way of cleaning up this file on startup or even shutdown?
Solution 3
Deleting celerybeat.pid from base directory helped me fixed this issue

celeryd
doesn't require a pidfile, butcelerybeat
seems to. Is there any way to disable it? I'm using Upstart to manage processes so using a pidfile is redundant.
