How to enable queues?

Queues are a mechanism for executing certain tasks at a given time in the background. You only need to enable them if a particular game add-on requires queues support. Such a requirement is present on the Add-ons page.

For the queues to work, a separate background process (called queue worker) must be running on your server in the background. To be able to run such processes, the application must be deployed on a virtual private (VPS) or dedicated server with shell access. You will not be able to run background processes on a shared server. The queue worker can be started as follows:

    cd /var/www/stake
    php artisan queue:work --queue=multiplayer-games,default
  

Please note that the queue worker process may stop running for a variety of reasons, such as an exceeded worker timeout, server fault etc. For this reason, you need to configure a process monitor that can detect when your worker processes exit and automatically restart them. Supervisor is a process monitor for the Linux operating system, and will automatically restart your queue:work processes if they fail. To install Supervisor on Ubuntu, you may use the following command:

    sudo apt-get install supervisor
  

Supervisor configuration files are typically stored in the /etc/supervisor/conf.d directory. Within this directory, you may create any number of configuration files that instruct supervisor how your processes should be monitored. For example, let's create a stake-worker.conf file that starts and monitors queue worker processes:

    [program:stake-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/stake/artisan queue:work --queue=multiplayer-games,default
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=www-data
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/stake-worker.log
stopwaitsecs=3600
  

Once the configuration file has been created, you may update the Supervisor configuration and start the processes using the following commands:

    sudo supervisorctl reread
    sudo supervisorctl update
    sudo supervisorctl start stake-worker:*
  

For more information on Supervisor, consult the Supervisor documentation.

Queues can work using different drivers. At the moment Database and Redis drivers are supported. The Database driver is selected by default and it does not need anything else to work. To use the Redis driver you need to additionally install and configure Redis on your server (installation of Redis is out of scope of the documentation and support). It is recommended to use the Redis driver, especially if you expect a lot of traffic.

What is stream_socket_enable_crypto error about?
