Flower Docker Image

Maintained 2020

A Docker image for running Flower, the monitoring GUI for Celery task queues.

Docker · Celery · Flower · RabbitMQ

Why it exists

Any project running Celery eventually needs a way to see what's queued, running, and failing without grepping worker logs. This packages Flower as a standalone image that points at an existing broker, so it drops into a docker-compose stack alongside the workers it's watching.

What I learned

Observability tooling is worth setting up before the queue backs up, not after. Having Flower one docker run away made a few otherwise confusing "why isn't this task running" moments trivial to diagnose.

Status

Active, used on projects that run a Celery/RabbitMQ queue.
