Log the following information in email headers: * X-Danbooru-User: the user's name and ID. * X-Danbooru-IP: the user's IP. * X-Danbooru-Session: the users' session ID. * X-Danbooru-URL: the page that triggered the email. * X-Danbooru-Job-Id: the ID of the background job that sent the email. * X-Danbooru-Enqueued-At: when the email was queued as a background job. * X-Danbooru-Dmail: for Dmail notifications, the link to the Dmail. * X-Request-Id: the request ID of the HTTP request that triggered the email. Also make it so we log an event in the APM when we send an email.
Jobs
This directory contains background jobs used by Danbooru. Jobs are used to handle slow-running tasks that need to run in the background, such as processing uploads or bulk update requests. They're also used for asynchronous tasks, such as sending emails, that may temporarily fail but can be automatically retried later.
Jobs use the Rails Active Job framework. Active Job is a common framework that allows jobs to be run on different job runner backends.
In the production environment, jobs are run using the Good Job backend. Jobs
are stored in the database in the good_jobs table. Worker processes spawned
by bin/good_job poll the table for new jobs to work.
In the development environment, jobs are run with an in-process thread pool. This will run jobs in the background, but will drop jobs when the server is restarted.
There is a very minimal admin dashboard for jobs at https://danbooru.donmai.us/jobs.
Danbooru also has periodic maintenance tasks that run in the background as cron jobs. These are different from the jobs in this directory. See app/logical/danbooru_maintenance.rb.
Usage
Start a pool of job workers:
RAILS_ENV=production bin/good_job start --max-threads=4
Examples
Spawn a job to be worked in the background. It will be worked as soon as a worker is available:
DeleteFavoritesJob.perform_later(user)
