How to run laravel job queue in php-fpm image on docker

Question

I have a container with a nginx, mailhog, redis and PHP image. All these images are on the same network. I run Laravel on the PHP image. I want to make use of the Job queue that laravel has, but I am struggling to run the queue in the PHP image. I've looked at all the examples but it seems my lack of understanding of docker is causing me to not ask the right question

Below is my docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

networks:   
    devnet:
        external: true
    
services: 

    # lightweight web-server:
    nginx: 
        image: nginx:stable-alpine
        container_name: lar-nginx
        ports:
            - 8080:80
            - 4040:443
        volumes: 
            - ./:/var/www
            - ./run/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d
            - ./local/certs:/etc/nginx/certs
        depends_on:
            - php
        networks:
            - devnet
    
    # server-side scripting engine
    php:
        build:
            context: .
            dockerfile: Dockerfile
        container_name: lar-php
        volumes:
            - ./:/var/www
        ports:
            - "9000:9000"
        networks:
            - devnet

    # caching server:
    redis:
        image: redis:latest
        container_name: lar-redis
        ports:
            - "6379:6379"
        networks:
            - devnet        
    
    # development email catch-all server & client:
    mailhog:
        image: mailhog/mailhog:latest
        container_name: lar-mailhog
        ports:
            # imap port for send mail
            - "1025:1025"
            # www mailhog ui
            - "8025:8025"
        networks:
            - devnet

In normal server(lamp) environment its pretty simple to work with cronjobs and queue but I dont know how to start up the queue. php artisan queue:work in the php image returs There are no commands defined in the "queue:" namespace. Did you mean this? queue

Running it in tinker \Queue::pushON('new', new App\Jobs\PublishingClass(array('foo'=>1,'foobar'=>783,'foobarfoo'=>33))); show the job gets processed but I need to do it with a process running in the background

The most simple way is to call with the use of Tinker

It's Laravel command using for debugging, use it by running below command from from project root

php artisan tinker

To dispatch job on a specific queue from tinker

\Queue::pushON('rms', new App\Jobs\UpdateRMS());

first parameter - Queue name

second parameter - job name

Dispatch multiple jobs at once to a specific queue

\Queue::bulk([new App\Jobs\UpdateRMS(), new App\Jobs\UpdateRMS()], null, 'rms');

I dont want to use tinker. That is not a reflection of our live environment – petrivoges May 18 '22 at 16:00
Ahhh... I misunderstood your question ... As I remember in production I've used a supervisor for queues, did you try this one? Take a look at this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44501632/13678053 – Roman Slisarenko May 18 '22 at 16:49
I also want to preferably stay away from installing supervisor. I want this to be as lean as possible without any dependencies – petrivoges May 18 '22 at 19:36
Unfortunately, I can't suggest a better option ... Don't be afraid to use a supervisor, I understand that this is an additional dependency, but I don't see anything wrong with it and it's in line with best practices, in my thought. – Roman Slisarenko May 19 '22 at 18:49

You can use this docker image, you don't need to configure the schedule, it's already implemented, with differents php expansions like redis, Rdkafka. Follow this link: https://hub.docker.com/r/jkaninda/laravel-php-fpm
