How to run "delayed_jobs" on DigitalOcean?

I've tried to find some tutorials/sources that could help me with that, but I was not very successful. Currently, when I run a method with a .delay functionality, the record is saved to the delayed_jobs database table, but it's not executed.

Any tips to make this functionality work on DigitalOcean server (Ubuntu, nginx)?

Solution

  • You need to start a job runner. Refer to the section RUNNING JOBS in the documentation.

    The basic command is

    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
