A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

      I run a web-dev consulting company on the side and I have a few apps that use Celery queues. The main reason you’d want to use celery is to handle more intensive tasks asynchronously in the background.

      Some example from my apps:

      • user requests a report: celery task is enqueued to generate the report as a PDF/CSV and email it to them
      • admin adds a new user: celery task is enqueued to send an invite email out to the user, as well as some onboarding emails
      • user requests to modify a large amount of items: multiple tasks are enqueued to update the items in batches of x amount.

        Nice! thanks for the explanation. I’ll have to see what it can integrate with.
