Installation

Composer checks the package's supported PHP and CakePHP versions.

composer require dereuromark/cakephp-queue
bin/cake plugin load Queue

For CLI-only use, load the plugin with --no-routes instead. If you load plugins in Application::bootstrap(), use $this->addPlugin('Queue') after the parent call instead of the load command.

Database schema

The plugin needs queued_jobs and queue_processes tables. If Migrations is not already installed:

composer require cakephp/migrations
bin/cake plugin load Migrations

Apply all Queue migrations to your application's default connection:

bin/cake migrations migrate -p Queue

For a separate queue database, migrate that connection with -c connection_name and follow Multi-connection. Run migrations during deployment and after plugin upgrades.

The web application and CLI worker must use the same database configuration. POSIX and PCNTL extensions enable process signals on supported systems; check those extensions when using worker termination or wake-up controls.

Continue with Getting started. The optional admin interface denies access until you configure its callback.
