Instructions on how to deploy a minimal heroku/django/celery/redis project on heroku

Once, you have a minimal django-celery-redis project setup on local, here is how you deploy it on heroku:

1. Add to your tasks.py:
   
   

    import os
   
    app.conf.update(BROKER_URL=os.environ['REDIS_URL'],
       CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=os.environ['REDIS_URL'])

2. Make sure your requirements.txt is like this:
   

    django
    gunicorn
    django-heroku
    celery
    redis

3. Add to your Procfile: "worker: celery worker --app=hello.tasks.app"
   
4. Make sure it still runs on local
   
5. enter into terminal: "export REDIS_URL=redis://"
   
6. run "heroku local&"
   
7. run python
   

    import hello.tasks
    hello.tasks.add.delay(1,2)

Should return something like:

    <AsyncResult: e1debb39-b61c-47bc-bda3-ee037d34a6c4>

7. "heroku apps:create minimal-django-celery-redis"
   
8. "heroku addons:create heroku-redis -a minimal-django-celery-redis"
   
9. "git add ."
   
10. "git commit -m "Demo""
    
11. "git push heroku master"
    
12. "heroku open&"
    
13. "heroku ps:scale worker=1"
    
14. "heroku run python"
    
    

      import hello.tasks
      hello.tasks.add.delay(1, 2)

15. You should see the task running in the application logs: "heroku logs -t -p worker"
