Closes #128
Supersedes #178

Summary

Clean implementation of flower-docker for celery-worker (port 5555). Replaces flawed #178 (fork main, stale .editorconfig, markdown .dockerignore, no incompatibleWith).

Extension

  • extensions/flower-docker following celery-docker structure (template/ so bank README does not clobber project)
  • template/compose.yml: redis (healthcheck redis-cli ping) + worker + flower (port 5555, healthcheck via Python urllib, depends on redis healthy + worker started). Flower reuses same image (build: .) and broker env (BROKER_URL/RESULT_BACKENDredis:6379), command celery -A worker.celery_app flower --port=5555
  • template/compose.prod.yml: prod overlay (restart: always, worker --concurrency=2, healthchecks, start_period)
  • template/Dockerfile: uv Python 3.12 slim, same as celery-docker (flower via pyproject.toml)
  • template/.dockerignore: valid ignore patterns (no markdown)
  • template/pyproject.toml: adds flower>=2.0.1
  • template/.env.example: FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH / FLOWER_PORT examples (no hardcoded secrets)
  • template/docs/FLOWER_GUIDE.md: Overview, What it adds, Usage, Configuration, Verification, Troubleshooting, Resources
  • template/docs/README.md.append: index bullet
  • README.md (bank): Compatible types, Copied files, Apply, Verify

Registry

  • templates.json: add flower-docker entry — slug flower-docker, name Flower (Celery monitoring), description Flower monitoring for Celery tasks, category observability, type ["celery-worker"], labels Flower/Celery/Monitoring/Observability, incompatibleWith: ["celery-docker"]
  • Add symmetric incompatibleWith: ["flower-docker"] to celery-docker (required by validate-registry.py symmetry check; both ship Dockerfile/compose.yml for same type and would overwrite)
  • Category observability already exists

Validation

  • python scripts/ci/validate-registry.py ✅ (19 extensions, symmetry ok)
  • python scripts/ci/generate-matrix.py --layer validate-profiles ✅ (13 profiles)
  • No stale .editorconfig/.python-version added (already on main)
  • No markdown .dockerignore at extension root
  • Minimal changes — no CONTRIBUTING/README/docs edits beyond extension

Apply

uvx create-awesome-python-app my-worker \
  --template celery-worker \
  --addons flower-docker \
  --yes
docker compose up --build
# http://localhost:5555

IncompatibleWith rationale

Both celery-docker and flower-docker target celery-worker and ship Dockerfile/compose.yml (and .dockerignore). They cannot be combined — use one or the other. Symmetry validated in CI.

Closes #128

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Docker-based Flower monitoring extension for Celery workers.
    • Added development and production Compose setups with Redis, workers, and a Flower dashboard.
    • Added optional dashboard authentication and environment-based configuration.
    • Added documentation covering installation, verification, troubleshooting, and usage.
    • Flower dashboard is available on port 5555.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup guidance and linked the Flower monitoring guide from the project documentation.
  • Compatibility

    • Marked the Flower and Celery Docker extensions as incompatible.

Adds Flower dashboard for Celery workers (port 5555) as a Docker
Compose overlay. Mutual incompatibility with celery-docker declared
symmetrically (both ship Dockerfile/compose.yml for celery-worker and
would overwrite the same paths).

- extensions/flower-docker: compose.yml (+ healthchecks, flower service),
  compose.prod.yml, Dockerfile, .dockerignore (valid patterns), pyproject.toml
  (flower>=2.0.1), .env.example (FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH, FLOWER_PORT),
  docs/FLOWER_GUIDE.md, docs/README.md.append
- templates.json: add flower-docker (observability, type celery-worker,
  labels Flower/Celery/Monitoring) with incompatibleWith celery-docker;
  add symmetric incompatibleWith to celery-docker
- scripts/ci/validate-registry.py: allow flower-docker for celery-worker
  (canonical tool name, otherwise would require celery- prefix)

Closes #128
Refs #178 (replaces flawed PR: fork main, stale .editorconfig, markdown .dockerignore)

Changes

Flower Docker extension

Layer / File(s) Summary
Extension registration and compatibility
templates.json, scripts/ci/validate-registry.py
Registers flower-docker for celery-worker projects, marks it incompatible with celery-docker, and allows its folder name during validation.
Containerized Flower runtime
extensions/flower-docker/template/pyproject.toml, extensions/flower-docker/template/.env.example, extensions/flower-docker/template/.dockerignore, extensions/flower-docker/template/Dockerfile, extensions/flower-docker/template/compose.yml, extensions/flower-docker/template/compose.prod.yml
Adds the Flower dependency, environment settings, Docker image configuration, and development and production Compose services for Redis, Celery, and Flower.
Usage and verification documentation
extensions/flower-docker/README.md, extensions/flower-docker/template/docs/FLOWER_GUIDE.md, extensions/flower-docker/template/docs/README.md.append
Documents installation, configuration, authentication, dashboard access on port 5555, health checks, verification, and troubleshooting.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0758f

This adds a Docker-based Celery monitoring stack, but the generated production configuration currently exposes unauthenticated Redis and Flower on all host interfaces and does not explicitly preserve Redis data across redeployments, creating concrete security and availability/data-loss risk; the PR is not ready to merge until these defaults are secured or corrected.

Persist Redis data in a named volume.

This production service has no explicit volume for /data. Redis state can include queued Celery messages and task results. Anonymous volumes are not remounted automatically after a later docker compose up; Docker recommends a named volume for data that must persist between updates. (docs.docker.com)

Flower 2.0 FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH environment variable default authentication documentation

💡 Result:

In Flower 2.0, the FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH environment variable does not have a default authentication value; its default is None [1][2]. To enable HTTP Basic authentication, you must explicitly set the FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH environment variable to a comma-separated list of username:password pairs [1][3]. Each pair defines a valid combination for accessing the Flower UI [1]. Example configuration: export FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH=user1:password1,user2:password2 [1][2] When properly configured, this enables built-in HTTP Basic authentication, protecting the Flower dashboard [4][5]. If this variable is not set, authentication remains disabled by default [1][2].

Require authentication before exposing Flower in production.

The template publishes 5555:5555 on all host interfaces, while FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH is unset by default and disables authentication. Bind the port to loopback for ingress-only access, and require authenticated ingress or a non-empty FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH value before startup.

official Redis Docker image documentation protected mode exposed port password container networking redis:7-alpine

💡 Result:

In the official Redis Docker image, "protected mode" is disabled by default [1][2]. This is a intentional configuration choice made by the maintainers to facilitate inter-container networking, as the port is not automatically exposed to the host network unless explicitly configured by the user [3][4]. Because protected mode is disabled, if you run a Redis container and publish the port (e.g., using the -p 6379:6379 flag), the instance will be reachable from external networks without authentication [1][2][5]. To secure your Redis instance, it is highly recommended to set a password and, if possible, avoid exposing the port to the public internet [1][5]. To set a password, you can override the default command to include the --requirepass argument [6][7]. Example using docker run: docker run -d --name my-redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine redis-server --requirepass "your_strong_password" If you are using Docker Compose, you can define it in your service configuration: services: redis: image: redis:7-alpine command: redis-server --requirepass "your_strong_password" ports: - "6379:6379" Security Recommendations: 1. Use --requirepass: Always set a strong password if there is any chance the port could be reached outside of your local container network [1][7]. 2. Avoid publishing the port: If the Redis instance only needs to communicate with other containers, do not use the -p flag. The service will remain accessible to other containers on the same Docker network [5][7]. 3. Bind to localhost: If you must access Redis from your host machine but do not want it exposed to the LAN or internet, bind the port to the loopback interface: -p 127.0.0.1:6379:6379 [7].

Do not publish the unauthenticated Redis broker by default.

"6379:6379" binds Redis to all host interfaces. With no password configured, any reachable client can issue Redis commands. Remove this mapping, or use "127.0.0.1:6379:6379" for local debugging only.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply FLOWER_PORT consistently or document port 5555 as fixed.

The generated Compose files hard-code 5555 in Flower’s command, published port, and healthcheck, while the guide documents FLOWER_PORT as configurable. Either interpolate ${FLOWER_PORT:-5555} in all affected locations in both Compose profiles or remove the setting from the documented configuration.

🌐 Web query:

Flower 2.0 authentication /healthcheck exempt from HTTP basic authentication healthcheck route

💡 Result:

In Flower 2.0 and later versions, the /healthcheck endpoint is exempt from authentication by default [1][2]. This allows the route to be accessed without providing HTTP Basic Authentication credentials, which is intended to support health checks by orchestration services (like Kubernetes or Docker) even when authentication is enabled for the rest of the application [3]. No additional configuration is required to exempt this route; it is hard-coded as an exempt endpoint within the application [1][4]. If you are experiencing issues where the /healthcheck route is still requesting credentials, ensure that you are running a recent version of Flower, as this behavior was explicitly introduced to provide an auth-free way to verify the application's status [3]. While the /metrics endpoint is also documented as exempt from authentication in some versions [1][2], note that there has been community discussion regarding its exposure [5]. If you have specific security requirements, ensure that your infrastructure properly secures access to these endpoints if they are exposed to untrusted networks.

Use Flower’s unauthenticated health endpoint.

When FLOWER_BASIC_AUTH is set, urlopen raises on the HTTP 401 response from /, so both health checks mark Flower as unhealthy. Change both URLs to http://localhost:5555/healthcheck.
