Workers

The presence data is automaticaly updated from the time based worker asking Centrifugo who is on the socket. This data is broadcasted to the clients over the websocket.

Default worker

The default worker for presence updates is a go module. Install with the command python manage.py installpres: it will generate two files in your main project directory:

  • centpres: the executable
  • centpres_config.json: the config file

To run the worker: ./centpres. This will start updating presence info.

Note: you can also compile the go module from the source in presence/go/src/
