Global flags

Asynq CLI needs to connect to a redis-server to inspect the state of queues and tasks. Use flags to specify the options to connect to the redis-server used by your application. To connect to a redis cluster, pass --cluster and --cluster_addrs flags.

By default, CLI will try to connect to a redis server running at localhost:6379.

      --config string          config file to set flag defaut values (default is $HOME/.asynq.yaml)
  -n, --db int                 redis database number (default is 0)
  -h, --help                   help for asynq
  -p, --password string        password to use when connecting to redis server
  -u, --uri string             redis server URI (default "127.0.0.1:6379")

      --cluster                connect to redis cluster
      --cluster_addrs string   list of comma-separated redis server addresses

Config File

You can use a config file to set default values for the flags.

By default, asynq will try to read config file located in $HOME/.asynq.(yml|json). You can specify the file location via --config flag.

Config file example:

uri: 127.0.0.1:6379
db: 2
password: mypassword

This will set the default values for --uri, --db, and --password flags.
