Documentation

Celery Connectors

Celery is a great framework for processing messages from a message queue broker like Redis or RabbitMQ. If you have a queue with json or pickled messages that you need to consume and process, then hopefully this repository will help you out.

It has multiple examples on setting up working publisher-subscriber messaging workflows using Celery, Celery Bootsteps, Kombu, and Kombu mixins. These examples are focused on finding a starting ground to tune for high availability + performance + reduce the risk of message loss (the dockerized celery bootstep rabbitmq subscriber can process around 100,000 messages in 90 seconds with 3 workers). By using the included docker containers combined with the included load tests, you can start to vet your solution won't wake you up in the middle of the night during an outage.

Each example below can run as a docker container with the included docker-compose files in the compose directory. Please note these docker-compose steps are optional and the consumer counts in the documentation below will only refer to the non-dockerized, repository versions.

Here's the JSON-to-Celery ecomm relay example in action. By using docker-compose you can use container monitoring tools to benchmark resources and throughput to figure out your deployment footprint and address bottlenecks.

Why do I care?

  • Do you want to read json or pickled messages out of a queue and have a framework handle the scaling and deployment aspects all out of the box?
  • Do you want a simple way to read out of queues without setting up a task result backend (mongo)?
  • Do you want to connect a windows python client to a backend linux system or cluster?
  • Do you want to communicate with all your AWS VPC backends over SQS?
  • Do you want to glue python and non-python technologies together through a message queue backend?
  • Do you want something that works with python 2 and 3?

How do I get started?

  1. Setup the virtualenv

    If you want to use python 2:

    virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install celery-connectors
    

    If you want to use python 3:

    virtualenv -p python3 venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install celery-connectors
    
  2. Confirm the pip is installed

    pip list | grep celery-connectors
    
  3. Start the containers

    # if you do not have docker compose installed, you can try installing it with:
    # pip install docker-compose
    start-redis-and-rabbitmq.sh
    

    Or if your docker version and OS support container volume-mounting, then you can persist Redis and RabbitMQ messages and data to disk with:

    ./start-persistence-containers.sh
    
  4. Check the Redis and RabbitMQ containers are running

    docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                                                                       NAMES

Running a Payments JSON-to-JSON Relay Service

This will simulate a json->json relay using kombu mixins:

http://docs.celeryproject.org/projects/kombu/en/latest/reference/kombu.mixins.html

Kombu mixins are a great way to process messages without Celery, and they are resilient to multiple HA scenarios including a complete broker failures. While building this I would load up messages to process, simulate lag before an ack and then start/stop the RabbitMQ docker container to see how things reacted. As long as the subscribers can declare their consuming queues on a fresh broker start-up case, these mixins seem capable of surviving these types of DR events. By default these builds are going to only read one message out of the queue at a time.

Start JSON Relay

This process will consume JSON dictionary messages on the ecomm.api.west RabbitMQ queue and pass the message to the reporting.payments queue.

Please start this in a new terminal that has sourced the virtual env: source venv/bin/activate

Running an Ecommerce JSON-to-Celery Relay Service

This will simulate hooking up an existing Celery application to start processing Celery tasks from JSON messages in a RabbitMQ queue. This is useful because it allows reusing existing Celery application tasks over a JSON messaging layer for mapping payloads to specific, existing Celery tasks. With this approach you can glue python and non-python services together provided that they can publish JSON messages to Redis, RabbitMQ or AWS SQS (please refer to the fix SQS section). Each of the components below can scale horizontally for redundancy. Each one also utilizes native RabbitMQ acks (https://www.rabbitmq.com/confirms.html) to ensure messages are never deleted or lost until propagation to the next queue or component has been confirmed.

Note: Please run this demo with three separate terminal sessions and a browser to view the Celery application's task progress in Flower.

Publish a User Conversion Event to the Ecomm Relay

This will use Kombu to publish a JSON dictionary message to the ecomm.api.west RabbitMQ queue which is monitored by the mixin JSON to Celery relay. This test tool is configured to simulate hypothetical worst-cast lag during the relay + message processing. This is a functional test to ensure everything stays connected and ready for more messages to process.

Celery Bootstep with RabbitMQ Outage Example

This example uses Celery bootsteps (http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/extending.html) to run a standalone, headless subscriber that consumes routed messages to two queues. It will set up a RabbitMQ topic exchange with a queue that is bound using a routing key and a separate direct queue for additional messages to process. Once the entities are available in RabbitMQ, Kombu publishes the message to the exchanges and RabbitMQ provides the messaging facility to route the messages to the subscribed Celery workers' queues. Once messages are being processed we will simulate a broker failure and see how resilient Celery bootsteps are to this type of disaster.

  1. Stop and Start the docker containers

    ./stop-redis-and-rabbitmq.sh
    Stopping redis and rabbitmq
    Stopping celredis1       ... done
    Stopping celflowerrabbit ... done
    Stopping celflowerredis  ... done
    Stopping celrabbit1      ... done
    
    ./start-redis-and-rabbitmq.sh
    Starting redis and rabbitmq
    Creating celrabbit1 ... done
    Creating celredis1 ...
    Creating celflowerredis ...
    Creating celrabbit1 ...
    
  2. List the Queues

    list-queues.sh
    

    Listing Queues broker=localhost:15672

    name

    durable

    auto_delete

    consumers

    messages

    Or with docker compose:

    docker-compose -f compose-run-rabbitmq-publisher.yml up
    Creating kombupubrmq ... done
    Attaching to kombupubrmq
    kombupubrmq    | 2017-12-15 07:31:23,802 - run-rabbitmq-publisher - INFO - Start - run-rabbitmq-publisher

    kombupubrmq exited with code 0
    
  4. Confirm the message is ready in the RabbitMQ Queue

    Note the messages and messages_ready count increased while the messages_unacknowledged did not. Which is because we have not started the subscriber to process ready messages in the reporting.accounts queue.

    list-queues.sh
    

    Listing Queues broker=localhost:15672

    reporting

    topic

    False

  6. Consume that message by starting up the Celery Rabbitmq subscriber module

    This will consume messages from the reporting.accounts and reporting.subscriptions queues.

    celery worker -A run_rabbitmq_subscriber -n rabbitmq_bootstep -c 3 --loglevel=INFO -Ofair
    

    Or with docker compose:

    docker-compose -f compose-run-celery-rabbitmq-subscriber.yml up
    Creating celeryrabbitmqsubscriber ... done
    Attaching to celeryrabbitmqsubscriber
    
  7. Confirm the worker's logs show the message was received

    2017-12-14 10:10:25,832: INFO callback received msg body={'account_id': 456, 'created': '2017-12-14T18:08:29.481313'} from_ex=reporting from_rk=reporting.accounts
    
  8. View the Rabbit Subscriber celery@rabbitmq_bootstep in Flower

    Rabbit Flower server (login admin/admin)

    http://localhost:5555/

  9. Verify the message is no longer in the Queue and Celery is connected as a consumer

    With the Celery RabbitMQ worker still running, in a new terminal list the queues. Verify there is a consumer on the reporting.accounts and reporting.subscriptions queues.

    list-queues.sh
    

    Listing Queues broker=localhost:15672

    name

  10. Start the Queue watcher

    In a new terminal activate the virtual env source venv/bin/activate.

    watch-queues.sh
    

    The watch will poll RabbitMQ for the queues every second and before the load tests start should look empty:

  11. Start the Accounts and Subscriptions Load Tests

    This will require two separate terminal sessions with the virtual env activated source venv/bin/activate.

    In terminal 1 start the Accounts load test

    start-load-test-rabbitmq.py
    

    Or with docker compose:

    docker-compose -f compose-start-load-test-rabbitmq.yml up
    WARNING: Found orphan containers (subsloadtest, celeryrabbitmqsubscriber) for this project. If you removed or renamed this service in your compose file, you can run this command with the --remove-orphans flag to clean it up.

  13. Verify the Celery Bootstep Subscriber is processing messages

    By default the Celery subscriber workers are processing 1 message at a time per consumer. In this example we started 3 workers so there are 3 messages that are unacknowledged at a time. Confirm messages are being processed from_rk=reporting.subscriptions and from_rk=reporting.accounts. This means the Celery workers are processing messages that have routing keys from the different queues.

Redis Message Processing Example

This example uses Celery bootsteps (http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/extending.html) to run a standalone, headless subscriber that consumes messages from a Redis key which emulates a RabbitMQ queue. Kombu publishes the message to the Redis key.

  1. Check that the Redis has no keys

    redis-cli
    127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
    (empty list or set)
    127.0.0.1:6379>
    
  2. Publish a message

    run_redis_publisher.py
    2017-12-09 08:20:04,026 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - Start - run-redis-publisher
    2017-12-09 08:20:04,027 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - Sending msg={'account_id': 123, 'created': '2017-12-09T08:20:04.027159'} ex=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    2017-12-09 08:20:04,050 - redis-publisher - INFO - SEND - exch=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    2017-12-09 08:20:04,052 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - End - run-redis-publisher sent=True
    

    Or with docker compose:

    docker-compose -f compose-run-redis-publisher.yml up
    Creating kombupubredis ... done
    Attaching to kombupubredis
    kombupubredis    | 2017-12-15 07:44:47,047 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - Start - run-redis-publisher
    kombupubredis    | 2017-12-15 07:44:47,047 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - Sending msg={'account_id': 123, 'created': '2017-12-15T07:44:47.047355'} ex=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    kombupubredis    | 2017-12-15 07:44:47,127 - kombu-publisher - INFO - SEND - exch=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    kombupubredis    | 2017-12-15 07:44:47,132 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - End - run-redis-publisher sent=True
    kombupubredis exited with code 0
    
  3. Consume messages using the subscriber module

    celery worker -A run_redis_subscriber --loglevel=INFO -Ofair
    

    Or with docker compose:

    docker-compose -f compose-run-celery-redis-subscriber.yml up
    WARNING: Found orphan containers (kombupubredis) for this project. If you removed or renamed this service in your compose file, you can run this command with the --remove-orphans flag to clean it up.
    Creating celeryredissubscriber ... done
    Attaching to celeryredissubscriber
    
  4. Confirm the Celery worker received the message

    2017-12-09 08:20:08,221: INFO callback received msg body={u'account_id': 123, u'created': u'2017-12-09T08:20:04.027159'}
    
  5. View the Redis Subscriber in Flower

    Redis Flower server (login admin/admin)

    http://localhost:5556/

  6. Look at the Redis keys

    redis-cli
    127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
    1) "_kombu.binding.celeryev"
    2) "_kombu.binding.celery"
    3) "_kombu.binding.celery.pidbox"
    4) "_kombu.binding.reporting.accounts"
    5) "unacked_mutex"
    127.0.0.1:6379>
    

Redis Kombu Subscriber

If you do not want to use Celery, you can use the KombuSubscriber class to process messages. This class will wait for a configurable amount of seconds to consume a single message from the subscribed queue and then stop processing.

  1. Check the Redis keys

    redis-cli
    127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
    1) "_kombu.binding.reporting.accounts"
    2) "_kombu.binding.celery.redis.sub"
    127.0.0.1:6379>
    
  2. Run the Redis Publisher

    run_redis_publisher.py
    2017-12-09 11:46:39,743 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - Start - run-redis-publisher
    2017-12-09 11:46:39,743 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - Sending msg={'account_id': 123, 'created': '2017-12-09T11:46:39.743636'} ex=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    2017-12-09 11:46:39,767 - redis-publisher - INFO - SEND - exch=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    2017-12-09 11:46:39,770 - run-redis-publisher - INFO - End - run-redis-publisher sent=True
    
  3. Run the Redis Kombu Subscriber

    By default, this will wait for a single message to be delivered within 10 seconds.

    kombu_redis_subscriber.py
    2017-12-09 11:47:58,798 - kombu-redis-subscriber - INFO - Start - kombu-redis-subscriber
    2017-12-09 11:47:58,798 - kombu-redis-subscriber - INFO - setup routing
    2017-12-09 11:47:58,822 - kombu-redis-subscriber - INFO - kombu-redis-subscriber - kombu.subscriber queues=reporting.accounts consuming with callback=handle_message
    2017-12-09 11:47:58,823 - kombu-redis-subscriber - INFO - callback received msg body={u'account_id': 123, u'created': u'2017-12-09T11:46:39.743636'}
    2017-12-09 11:47:58,824 - kombu-redis-subscriber - INFO - End - kombu-redis-subscriber
    
  4. Check the Redis keys

    Nothing should have changed:

    127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
    1) "_kombu.binding.reporting.accounts"
    2) "_kombu.binding.celery.redis.sub"
    127.0.0.1:6379>
    

RabbitMQ Kombu Subscriber

If you do not want to use Celery, you can use the KombuSubscriber class to process messages. This class will wait for a configurable amount of seconds to consume a single message from the subscribed queue and then stop processing.

  1. List the Queues

    If the docker containers are still running the previous RabbitMQ pub/sub test will still have the queues, exchanges and bindings still left over. If not then skip this step.

    list-queues.sh
    

    Listing Queues broker=localhost:15672

    name

    consumers

    messages

    messages_ready

    messages_unacknowledged

    celery.rabbit.sub

    0

    0

    0

    0

    reporting.accounts

    0

    0

    0

    0

  2. Run the RabbitMQ Subscriber

    Please note this output assumes there are no messages in the queue already from a previous test. It will wait for 10 seconds before stopping.

  4. Check the Redis keys for the new User Conversion Events key

    redis-cli
    127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
    1) "_kombu.binding.reporting.accounts"
    2) "_kombu.binding.user.events"
    3) "_kombu.binding.celery.redis.sub"
    4) "_kombu.binding.user.events.conversions"
    127.0.0.1:6379>
    

Run a Message Processor from RabbitMQ with Relay Publish Hook to Redis

This could also be set up for auto-caching instead of this pub-sub flow because this delivers a post-processing json dictionary into a Redis key (publish hook), and let's be honest Redis is great at caching all the datas.

  1. Clear out the reporting.accounts Redis key

    Either run kombu_redis_subscriber.py until there's no more messages being consumed or you can restart the docker containers with the stop-redis-and-rabbitmq.sh and start-redis-and-rabbitmq.sh, but the point is verify there's nothing in the reporting.accounts key (could just delete it with the redis-cli).

  2. Start the Kombu RabbitMQ Message Processor

    start-kombu-message-processor-rabbitmq.py
    2017-12-09 12:25:09,962 - loader-name - INFO - Start - msg-proc
    2017-12-09 12:25:09,962 - msg-proc - INFO - msg-proc START - consume_queue=user.events.conversions rk=reporting.accounts
    2017-12-09 12:25:09,962 - msg-sub - INFO - setup routing
    2017-12-09 12:25:09,987 - msg-sub - INFO - msg-sub - kombu.subscriber queues=user.events.conversions consuming with callback=process_message
    

    Docker compose can start this too:

    docker stop worker;docker rm worker;
    docker-compose -f compose-kombu-message-processor-rabbitmq.yml up
    
  3. Send a User Conversion Event to RabbitMQ

    publish-user-conversion-events-rabbitmq.py
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,167 - publish-user-conversion-events - INFO - Start - publish-user-conversion-events
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,167 - publish-user-conversion-events - INFO - Sending user conversion event msg={'subscription_id': 888, 'created': '2017-12-09T12:25:35.167891', 'stripe_id': 999, 'account_id': 777, 'product_id': 'XYZ'} ex=user.events rk=user.events.conversions
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,185 - publish-uce-rabbitmq - INFO - SEND - exch=user.events rk=user.events.conversions
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,187 - publish-user-conversion-events - INFO - End - publish-user-conversion-events sent=True
    
  4. Verify the Kombu RabbitMQ Message Processor Handled the Message

    Notice the pub-hook shows the relay-specific log lines

    2017-12-09 12:25:35,188 - msg-proc - INFO - msg-proc proc start - msg body={u'subscription_id': 888, u'product_id': u'XYZ', u'stripe_id': 999, u'account_id': 777, u'created': u'2017-12-09T12:25:35.167891'}
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,188 - msg-proc - INFO - msg-proc pub-hook - build - hook msg body
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,188 - msg-proc - INFO - msg-proc pub-hook - send - exchange=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts sz=json
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,210 - msg-pub - INFO - SEND - exch=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,212 - msg-proc - INFO - msg-proc pub-hook - send - done exchange=reporting.accounts rk=reporting.accounts res=True
    2017-12-09 12:25:35,212 - msg-proc - INFO - msg-proc proc done - msg
    
  5. Process the Redis reporting.accounts queue

    This could also be cached data about the user that made this purchase like a write-through-cache.

Check the Ecommerce Subscriber in Flower

The Ecommerce Publisher and Subscriber are using RabbitMQ which is registered under the Flower url:

http://localhost:5555/ - (login: admin/admin)

There should be a Worker named:

celery@ecommerce_subscriber

There are also additional worker details available at:

http://localhost:5555/worker/celery@ecommerce_subscriber

View the registered ecommerce tasks for the worker:

http://localhost:5555/worker/celery@ecommerce_subscriber#tab-tasks

Debugging with rabbitmqadmin

The pip and development build will install rabbitmqadmin (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management/v3.7.0/bin/rabbitmqadmin) version 3.7.0. It is a great utility for verifying RabbitMQ messaging and does not require having access to the RabbitMQ cluster's host nodes (or a machine with rabbitmqctl on it).

Please note: rabbitmqadmin uses the management HTTP port (not the amqp port 5672) which requires a broker to have the management plugin enabled to work if you're using this with an external RabbitMQ cluster.

Development Guide

  1. Install the development environment

    virtualenv -p python3 venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -e .
    
  2. Run tests

    The tests require the docker containers to be running prior to starting.

    python setup.py test
    

Debugging

pycURL Reinstall with NSS

For anyone wanting to use kombu SQS, I had to uninstall pycurl and install it with nss.

The error looked like this in the logs:

2017-12-09 12:28:46,811 - kombu-sqs-subscriber - INFO - kombu-sqs-subscriber - kombu.subscriber consume hit exception=The curl client requires the pycurl library. queue=test1

So I opened up a python shell

Uninstalled and Reinstalled pycurl with nss

pip uninstall -y pycurl; pip install pycurl --compile --global-option="--with-nss" pycurl

Temporary fix for Kombu SQS

SQS Kombu Subscriber 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'call_repeatedly'

Until Kombu fixes the SQS transport and publishes it to pypi, the SQS subscriber will throw exceptions like below.

If you're feeling bold, you can run off my PR fix branch as well:

pip uninstall -y kombu ; rm -rf /tmp/sqs-pr-fix-with-kombu; git clone https://github.com/jay-johnson/kombu.git /tmp/sqs-pr-fix-with-kombu && pushd /tmp/sqs-pr-fix-with-kombu && git checkout sqs-http-get-client && python setup.py develop && popd

With the SQS fix applied locally (works on python 2 and 3 on my fedora 24 vm):

Testing

Start the Relay

./start-ecomm-relay.py

Start the Celery Worker

./start-ecomm-worker.sh

Load Test Celery Worker over RabbitMQ

This will send 50,000 messages over with the Celery send_task method. As long as the ecomm Celery worker is running the messages will be sent over.

python -m unittest tests/load_test_worker_rabbitmq.py

Load Test Relay

This will send 50,000 messages over the user.events.conversions RabbitMQ queue for the ecomm relay to process and then send to the ecomm worker.

python -m unittest tests/load_test_relay_rabbitmq.py

Cleanup Persistence

Docker compose creates files and directories as the host's root user. This makes cleaning up test runs annoying. So here's a tool to clean the persistence data and logs but it requires providing sudo or running as root.

Please, please, please be careful!

  1. Shut them down to prevent writes to the volumes

    stop-redis-and-rabbitmq.sh
    
  2. Clean them up

    sudo ./clean-persistence-data.sh
    
    Using root to delete persistence directories: ./docker/data/rabbitmq/ ./docker/data/redis and logs: ./docker/logs/rabbitmq ./docker/logs/redis and files: ./docker/data/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie
    
    - deleting=./docker/data/rabbitmq
    - deleting=./docker/logs/rabbitmq
    - deleting=./docker/data/redis
    - deleting=./docker/logs/redis
    - deleting=./docker/data/rabbitmq/.erlang.cookie
    
  3. Start them up again

    start-persistence-containers.sh
    

Create your own self-signed Keys, Certs and Certificate Authority with Ansible

If you have openssl installed you can use this ansible playbook to create your own certificate authority (CA), keys and certs.

  1. Create the CA, Keys and Certificates

    cd ansible
    ansible-playbook -i inventory_dev create-x509s.yml
    
  2. Verify the Jupyter Client Cert

    openssl x509 -in ../compose/ssl/client_cert.pem -text -noout
    
  3. Verify the Jupyter Server Cert

    openssl x509 -in ../compose/ssl/jupyter_server_cert.pem -text -noout
    
  4. Using the certs

    Docker makes testing ssl easier so the certs are created under the compose/ssl directory:

    tree ../compose/ssl
    ├── ca.pem
    ├── ca_private_key.pem
    ├── client_cert.pem
    ├── client.csr

    └── webserver_server_key.pem
    
  5. Set up your own extfile.cnf - Optional

    You can change the source extfile.cnf which is copied over to the compose/ssl directory when the playbook runs as needed.

    cat ./configs/extfile.cnf
    subjectAltName = DNS:*.localdev.com, DNS:rabbitmq.localdev.com, DNS:redis.localdev.com, DNS:jupyter.localdev.com, DNS:jenkins.localdev.com, DNS:www.localdev.com, DNS:api.localdev.com, DNS:db.localdev.com, DNS:pgadmin.localdev.com, DNS:phpmyadmin.localdev.com, DNS:kibana.localdev.com, DNS:lb.localdev.com, DNS:docker.localdev.com, IP:127.0.0.1
    extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth
    
  6. Customizing your own openssl.cnf and cert_openssl.cnf - Optional

    You can change the source openssl.cnf before creating the certs.

    cat ./configs/openssl.cnf
    [ req ]
    prompt              = no
    default_bits        = 2048
    distinguished_name  = req_distinguished_name # where to get DN for reqs
    
    [ req_distinguished_name ]
    C  = US
    ST = WA
    L  = Redmond
    O  = SecureEverything
    OU = SecureEverythingOrgUnit
    CN = LocalDev
    

    You can change the source cert_openssl.cnf before creating the certs.

    cat ./configs/cert_openssl.cnf
    [req]
    days                   = 2000
    serial                 = 1
    distinguished_name     = req_distinguished_name
    x509_extensions        = v3_ca
    
    
    [req_distinguished_name]
    countryName            = US
    stateOrProvinceName    = WA
    localityName           = Redmond
    organizationName       = SecureEverything
    organizationalUnitName = SecureEverythingOrgUnit
    commonName             = SecureEverything
    
    [ v3_ca ]
    subjectKeyIdentifier   = hash
    authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer:always
    basicConstraints       = CA:TRUE
    keyUsage               = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment, keyAgreement, keyCertSign
    subjectAltName         = DNS:*.localdev.com, DNS:redis.localdev.com, DNS:rabbitmq.localdev.com, DNS:jupyter.localdev.com, DNS:jenkins.localdev.com, DNS:www.localdev.com, DNS:api.localdev.com, DNS:db.localdev.com, DNS:pgadmin.localdev.com, DNS:phpmyadmin.localdev.com, DNS:kibana.localdev.com, DNS:lb.localdev.com, DNS:docker.localdev.com, email:admin@localdev.com
    issuerAltName          = issuer:copy

Running JupyterHub with Postgres and SSL

  1. Pull the default Jupyter image

    All users will share this large 4.4 gb image

    docker pull jupyter/scipy-notebook:latest
    
  2. Append the following entries to your /etc/hosts row with 127.0.0.1

    jupyter.localdev.com rabbitmq.localdev.com redis.localdev.com jenkins.localdev.com

  3. Verify /etc/hosts has the entries

    cat /etc/hosts | grep localdev
    127.0.0.1      localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 jupyter.localdev.com rabbitmq.localdev.com redis.localdev.com jenkins.localdev.com
    
  4. From the base repository directory, change to the compose directory

    cd compose
    
  5. Create the JupyterHub docker network

    This should only be required if the jupyterhub-network does not already exist.

    docker network create jupyterhub-network
    
  6. Create the JupyterHub docker data volume

    This should only be required if the jupyterhub-data does not already exist.

    docker volume create --name jupyterhub-data
    

    Each user will need a data volume if they are not already created as well with naming scheme:

    jupyterhub-user-<username> to persist notebooks.

    docker volume create --name jupyterhub-user-admin
    
  7. Start JupyterHub

    docker stop jupyterhub ; docker rm jupyterhub; docker-compose -f compose-jupyter.yml up
    
  8. Login to JupyterHub

    Please change these defaults before deploying to production:

    • username: admin
    • password: admin

    Please accept to "Proceed" passed the self-signed certificate warning.

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jay-johnson/celery-connectors/master/_images/jupyterhub-step-3-browse-ipython-notebooks.png
  12. Open the one of the cloned notebooks

    https://jupyter.localdev.com/user/admin/notebooks/work/data-science-ipython-notebooks/scikit-learn/scikit-learn-intro.ipynb

  13. Select Kernel -> Restart & Run All

    Confirm you can run all the cells in the notebook

  14. Verify the notebook ran all the cells without any errors

    Save the output and changes to the notebook with ctrl + s. At the bottom of the notebook you should see the updated chart for the sepal width and sepal-length similar to:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jay-johnson/celery-connectors/master/_images/jupyterhub-step-4-run-all-notebook-cells.png
  15. Verify the notebook was changed and updated

    Browse to:

    https://jupyter.localdev.com/user/admin/tree/work/data-science-ipython-notebooks/scikit-learn

    The scikit-learn-intro.ipynb should be running and updated.

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jay-johnson/celery-connectors/master/_images/jupyterhub-step-5-confirm-notebook-was-saved.png
  16. Stop the Admin Jupyter instance

    The notebooks should persist a stop and start of a user's Jupyter container instance.

    https://jupyter.localdev.com/hub/admin

    It should look something like this:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jay-johnson/celery-connectors/master/_images/jupyterhub-step-6-stop-server.png
  17. Start the Admin Jupyter instance again

    Click start server

  18. Browse to the scikit-learn directory and confirm the files were not lost on the restart
