How to call queue worker in background in laravel?

@denis 

To call a queue worker in the background in Laravel, you can use the following command:

1

php artisan queue:work --daemon

This command will start a queue worker that will continuously process jobs from the queue in the background. You can also specify the queue connection and queue name by adding the --queue option:

1

php artisan queue:work --daemon --queue=your_queue_name

Alternatively, you can start a queue worker in the background using Supervisor. Supervisor is a process control system that allows you to monitor and control processes on Unix-like operating systems. Here's how you can set up Supervisor to run a queue worker:

1. Install Supervisor:

1

sudo apt-get install supervisor

1. Create a Supervisor configuration file for your queue worker:

1

sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/your_queue_worker.conf

1. Add the following configuration to the file:

1

[program:your_queue_worker]
command=php /path-to-your-laravel-project/artisan queue:work --daemon --queue=your_queue_name
directory=/path-to-your-laravel-project
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/your_queue_worker.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/your_queue_worker.out.log

1. Reload Supervisor to load the new configuration:

1
2

sudo supervisorctl reread
sudo supervisorctl update

1. Start the Supervisor process for your queue worker:

1

sudo supervisorctl start your_queue_worker

Now your queue worker will be running in the background and processing jobs from the specified queue.
