h2. Sideqik configuration
2

Sidekiq is one of the more widely used background job frameworks that you can configure as queuing backend. I've tested to following install and configuration steps on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 with Redmine 4.1.1, Redis version 4 and Sidekiq 6.

h3. 1. Prerequisites:
6
7
# Install redis-server. 
8
9
h3. 2. Install sideqik
10
11
# Add the gem as dependency in @Gemfile.local@ file. If the file doesn't exist, you need to create it.
12
<pre>
13
gem 'sidekiq'
14
</pre>
15
# Run @bundle install@ to install the dependency
16
17
h3. 3. Configure Sidekiq
18
19
# Create @config/sideqik.yml@ file inside Redmine directory and set the queues 
20
<pre>
21
---
22
:queues:
23
  - mailers
24
</pre>
25
26
h3. 4. Configure Redmine to use @sidekiq@ as backend
27
28
# Create @config/additional_environment.rb@ file if the file does not exist by copying the existing example file:
29
<pre>
30
cp config/additional_environment.rb.example config/additional_environment.rb@
31
</pre>
32
# Add the below config line to the file:
33
<pre>
34
config.active_job.queue_adapter = :sidekiq
35
</pre>
36
# Restart Redmine to reload the configuration file.
37
38
h3. 5. Test the configuration
39
40
# Browse to Information tab from Redmine Administration page and check the mailer queue value:
41
<pre>
42
  Mailer queue                   ActiveJob::QueueAdapters::SidekiqAdapter
43
</pre> 
44
# Perform some actions in Redmine in order to trigger some notifications emails. In this step, Redmine only pushes the background jobs to Sidekiq backend.
45
# Temporary start sidekiq in order to process the queue and send the emails:
46
<pre>
47
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec sidekiq
48
</pre>

h3. 6. Configure sidekiq to run as a system service
67
68
# Follow the official steps described in https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Deployment#running-your-own-process
69
# The above steps points to a @sidekiq.service@ example file which can be used to configure the service
70
# During service configuration, at least the following information must be provided:
71
72
    * @WorkingDirectory@
73
    * @User@
74
    * @Group@
75
76
    I recommend to carefully read all the instructions and how to configure the service.
77
# Enable and start the service:
78
<pre>
79
sudo systemctl enable sidekiq 
80
sudo systemctl start sidekiq 
81
</pre>
82
# Test again the email notifications
