How do you add a worker to a Procfile?

It seems that Railway only accepts "web", so how can I add a "worker" to a Procfile?

show me your desired procfile you wish to run on railway

web: python manage.py migrate && gunicorn linguoai.wsgi
worker: celery -A linguini worker --loglevel=info
I've tried this but it didn't work:
celery -A linguoai worker --loglevel=info && python manage.py collectstatic && gunicorn linguoai.wsgi --bind 0.0.0.0:$POR

yeah wouldnt be possible, you would need to run the worker in a separate service
that would only run the celery

how can you set it up in a separate service?
I'm trying to run the worker with Redis

yeah thats where this all falls apart because i have never done it myself
aka, i dont know

ah ok
no worries

I was following this tutorial and she seemed pretty confident but it didn't work

let me look
yeah i see what they did to make it work
you could do the same, but its not the most ideal way

how? I couldn't get it to work

you copied the procfile command wrong
after the celery command you have two and symbols, they only have one

should it be POR or PORT?
I was using PORT
I think I've tried it with one & already but I'll have another go

lol it would be PORT but you dont need --bind 0.0.0.0:$PORT since thats already the default bind

celery -A linguoai worker --loglevel=info & python manage.py collectstatic && gunicorn linguoai.wsgi
so this then?

well you need web: but yeah

web: celery -A linguoai worker --loglevel=info & python manage.py collectstatic && gunicorn linguoai.wsgi
?
I tried it prefixed by web but it was erroring out

yep, also please enclose any single line code in single backticks
well you do have the log downloader

yep that should start celery in the background and then python in the foreground

okay, I'll give it a go

but why thats not ideal, railway wont be able to restart your service if celery where to crash, since youve ran it as a background task

What's the best solution?

something that would run those commands in parallel and exit if any command fails, so that railway would be able to restart for any commands crash
a program like this https://nicolas-van.github.io/multirun/
i have used it in the past in a dockerfile and its the most ideal thing to use to run multiple commands at once on railway, but i used it in a dockerfile, and you are using nixpacks

Okay, I'll take a look
Btw, that procfile command worked
so I guess this is solved
Thanks for your help again!

like i said, its not exactly applicable for you, unless you wanna be my Guine pig?

I'm just happy to get Celery working as I couldn't get the APIs to respond when I was running it locally

fair enough, happy i could help
