How do I schedule a task with Celery that runs on 1st of every month?
Since Celery 3.0 the crontab schedule now supports day_of_monthand month_of_year arguments: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/periodic-tasks.html#crontab-schedules
You can do this using Crontab schedules and you cand define this either:
- in your django settings.py:
from celery.schedules import crontabCELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = { 'my_periodic_task': { 'task': 'my_app.tasks.my_periodic_task', 'schedule': crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='1'), # Execute on the first day of every month. },}- in celery.py config:
from celery import Celeryfrom celery.schedules import crontabapp = Celery('app_name')app.conf.beat_schedule = { 'my_periodic_task': { 'task': 'my_app.tasks.my_periodic_task', 'schedule': crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='1'), # Execute on the first day of every month. },}
