Spawning RQ Worker during deploy.

Im running in to the problem of not knowing how to launch the workers on deployment automatically. Now i manually run 'railway run rq worker' each time. Any suggestions?

Added the following to procfile: 'worker: rq worker -u $REDIS_URL name'
which did not work. The following solution i tried is 'release: rq worker -u $REDIS_URL ' which started a worker during building and stayed in the building phase and never going to deployment.

How do i spawn a worker or run the 'rq worker' command during deployment? Using python Flask and Redis.

It seems that i order to keep the worker active after manually starting one with the 'rq worker' command i need to have the terminal window open, as soon as i close it the worker shuts down.

I see, i added an empty service (which i think is what you mean) and when i run 'railway run rq worker' it asks on what service, i select the new empty service dedicated to the workers and that works, i also found the setting where i can give it a start command. However, since this service is empty i do not get the option to deploy it > so no way i can run the start command.

Any suggestions or documentation references?

Alright so i managed to get it working, here's how i did it. I spawned a new service, created a new github repo, the repo needs the following: requirements.txt with redis and rq included, a main.py file, and a Procfile with web: python main.py. In the service setting under deployment i have a start command with 'rq worker'. - This launches te worker right after deploy.

However, the function i pass to the que does not work since it is a different service...

Installing all dependencies and copying the function to the new service solved the problem. Essentially going form monolith to adding a micro-service fixed the problem.
