Apache Airflow Worker packaged by Bitnami

What is Apache Airflow Worker?

Apache Airflow is a tool to express and execute workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Airflow workers listen to, and process, queues containing workflow tasks.

Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
• All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 to verify the integrity of the images.
• Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine >= 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recommended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

How to use this image

Airflow Worker is a component of an Airflow solution configuring with the CeleryExecutor. Hence, you will need to rest of Airflow components for this image to work. You will need an Airflow Webserver, an Airflow Scheduler, a PostgreSQL database and a Redis(TM) server.

Using Docker Compose

The main folder of this repository contains a functional docker-compose.yml file. Run the application using it as shown below:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-airflow-worker/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Using the Docker Command Line

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

1. Create a network

$ docker network create airflow-tier

2. Create a volume for PostgreSQL persistence and create a PostgreSQL container

$ docker volume create --name postgresql_data
$ docker run -d --name postgresql \
  -e POSTGRESQL_USERNAME=bn_airflow \
  -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=bitnami1 \
  -e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=bitnami_airflow \
  --net airflow-tier \
  --volume postgresql_data:/bitnami/postgresql \
  bitnami/postgresql:latest

3. Create a volume for Redis(TM) persistence and create a Redis(TM) container

$ docker volume create --name redis_data
$ docker run -d --name redis \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --net airflow-tier \
  --volume redis_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/redis:latest

4. Create volumes for Airflow persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name airflow_data
$ docker run -d --name airflow -p 8080:8080 \
  -e AIRFLOW_FERNET_KEY=46BKJoQYlPPOexq0OhDZnIlNepKFf87WFwLbfzqDDho= \
  -e AIRFLOW_SECRET_KEY=a25mQ1FHTUh3MnFRSk5KMEIyVVU2YmN0VGRyYTVXY08= \
  -e AIRFLOW_EXECUTOR=CeleryExecutor \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_airflow \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_USERNAME=bn_airflow \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami1 \
  -e AIRFLOW_LOAD_EXAMPLES=yes \
  -e AIRFLOW_PASSWORD=bitnami123 \
  -e AIRFLOW_USERNAME=user \
  -e AIRFLOW_EMAIL=user@example.com \
  --net airflow-tier \
  --volume airflow_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/airflow:latest

5. Create volumes for Airflow Scheduler persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name airflow_scheduler_data
$ docker run -d --name airflow-scheduler \
  -e AIRFLOW_FERNET_KEY=46BKJoQYlPPOexq0OhDZnIlNepKFf87WFwLbfzqDDho= \
  -e AIRFLOW_SECRET_KEY=a25mQ1FHTUh3MnFRSk5KMEIyVVU2YmN0VGRyYTVXY08= \
  -e AIRFLOW_EXECUTOR=CeleryExecutor \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_airflow \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_USERNAME=bn_airflow \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami1 \
  -e AIRFLOW_LOAD_EXAMPLES=yes \
  --net airflow-tier \
  --volume airflow_scheduler_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/airflow-scheduler:latest

6. Create volumes for Airflow Worker persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name airflow_worker_data
$ docker run -d --name airflow-worker \
  -e AIRFLOW_FERNET_KEY=46BKJoQYlPPOexq0OhDZnIlNepKFf87WFwLbfzqDDho= \
  -e AIRFLOW_SECRET_KEY=a25mQ1FHTUh3MnFRSk5KMEIyVVU2YmN0VGRyYTVXY08= \
  -e AIRFLOW_EXECUTOR=CeleryExecutor \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_airflow \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_USERNAME=bn_airflow \
  -e AIRFLOW_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami1 \
  -e AIRFLOW_QUEUE=new_queue \
  --net airflow-tier \
  --volume airflow_worker_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/airflow-worker:latest

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a volume at the /bitnami path. Additionally you should mount volumes for persistence of PostgreSQL data and Redis(TM) data

The above examples define docker volumes namely postgresql_data, redis_data, airflow_data, airflow_scheduler_data and airflow_worker_data. The Airflow Worker application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

The following docker-compose.yml template demonstrates the use of host directories as data volumes.
