Container Mode

When self-hosting solidtime with our Docker Images, you can choose between different container modes. The container mode defines which service is started in the container.

The mode can be defined by setting the CONTAINER_MODE environment variable on the docker service. The default mode is http.

HTTP Server

CONTAINER_MODE=http

The HTTP server mode is the default mode. It starts the HTTP server for the solidtime application. The solidtime image uses Swoole as an HTTP server.

Scheduler

CONTAINER_MODE=scheduler

The scheduler mode starts the Laravel scheduler. The scheduler is used to run scheduled tasks like sending reminders, similar to running cronjobs.

Worker

CONTAINER_MODE=worker

The worker mode starts the Laravel Queue Worker. It is used to process asynchronous tasks like sending emails, when QUEUE_CONNECTION is set to database.
