Oban Pro v0.11.0

Installation

Oban.Pro is delivered as a hex package named oban_pro, which is published privately to our self-hosted package repository.

prerequisites

 Prerequisites

  1. Ensure Oban is installed for your application. It's probably there already, but just in case, follow these instructions to get started.

  2. Ensure you're running Erlang/OTP v23.3.4.5, v24.0.4, or later. Older Erlang/OTP versions have an expired CA root certificate that doesn't work with Let's Encrypt certificates.

  3. Ensure you're running hex v1.0.0 or later, via mix local.hex --force

authentication

 Authentication

Before you can pull the package into your application you need to add a new oban hex repo. First, grab the OBAN_KEY_FINGERPRINT and OBAN_LICENSE_KEY from your account page.

Then, run the following mix hex.repo command:

mix hex.repo add oban https://getoban.pro/repo \
  --fetch-public-key $OBAN_KEY_FINGERPRINT \
  --auth-key $OBAN_LICENSE_KEY

Authenticating Other Systems

You'll also need to authenticate on any other development machines, build servers and CI/CD instances. There are also guides to help with building Docker Images, authenticating on Gigalixir and Heroku.

configuration

 Configuration

Now that you're authenticated you're ready to add oban_pro as a dependency for your application. Open mix.exs and add the following line:

{:oban_pro, "~> 0.11", repo: "oban"}

Now fetch your dependencies:

$ mix deps.get

There isn't any direct configuration for Oban.Pro. Instead, you configure Oban to run an engine or plugins directly and use the various workers. For example, to use the Lifeline plugin you'd add it to the Oban config within config.exs:

config :my_app, Oban,
  engine: Oban.Pro.Queue.SmartEngine,
  repo: MyApp.Repo,
  queues: [alpha: 10, gamma: 10, delta: 10],
  plugins: [Oban.Pro.Plugins.DynamicLifeline]

Now you're ready to start using the smart engine, various plugins, and workers!
