From 82541536afd95ebbbb72b1983caae77b67eb8b2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: noirscape Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2022 22:16:13 +0100 Subject: Make waitress thread count configurable. This should fix most scaling problems without needing to start more server instances. By default, waitress maintains at most 4 threads. This works fine if the database is small (sub 100k posts) but causes a large Task queue depth to occur if the database is larger. Letting users increase the amount of threads means that one server instance is able to handle more requests without locking up the rest of the site. This adds a new environment variable to .env, THREADS, which can be used to configure the amount of threads to start and is by default set to 4 (the default amount used by waitress). --- doc/example.env | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/example.env b/doc/example.env index 59e1e85..303a25e 100644 --- a/doc/example.env +++ b/doc/example.env @@ -10,6 +10,12 @@ BUILD_INFO=latest # otherwise the port specified here will be publicly accessible PORT=8080 +# How many waitress threads to start +# 4 is the default amount of threads.
