Installation

Installing flower with pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>_ is simple ::

$ pip install flower

Development version can be installed with ::

$ pip install https://github.com/mher/flower/zipball/master#egg=flower

Usage

Important Please note that from version 1.0.0 Flower uses Celery 5 and has to be invoked in the same style as celery commands do.

The key takeaway here is that the Celery app's arguments have to be specified after the celery command and Flower's arguments have to be specified after the flower sub-command.

This is the template to follow::

celery [celery args] flower [flower args]

Core Celery args that you may want to set::

-A, --app
-b, --broker
--result-backend

More info on available Celery command args <https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/reference/cli.html#celery>_.

For Flower command args see here <https://flower.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#options>_.

Usage Examples

Launch the Flower server at specified port other than default 5555 (open the UI at http://localhost:5566): ::

$ celery flower --port=5566

Specify Celery application path with address and port for Flower: ::

$ celery -A proj flower --address=127.0.0.6 --port=5566

Launch using docker: ::

$ docker run -p 5555:5555 mher/flower

Launch with unix socket file: ::

$ celery flower --unix-socket=/tmp/flower.sock

Broker URL and other configuration options can be passed through the standard Celery options (notice that they are after Celery command and before Flower sub-command): ::

$ celery -A proj --broker=amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672// flower

API

Flower API enables to manage the cluster via REST API.

For example you can restart worker's pool by: ::

$ curl -X POST http://localhost:5555/api/worker/pool/restart/myworker

Or call a task by: ::

$ curl -X POST -d '{"args":[1,2]}' http://localhost:5555/api/task/async-apply/tasks.add

Or terminate executing task by: ::

$ curl -X POST -d 'terminate=True' http://localhost:5555/api/task/revoke/8a4da87b-e12b-4547-b89a-e92e4d1f8efd
