Beginning today, Forge will no longer install beanstalkd on new servers.
We have noted an increase in provisioning failures due to the beanstalkd service failing. In addition, beanstalkd usage among Laravel users has declined sharply with the introduction of more robust tools like Laravel Horizon.
However, if you would like to manually install beanstalkd, you may still install it manually using the following Bash script:
apt-get install -y --force-yes beanstalkd
sed -i "s/BEANSTALKD_LISTEN_ADDR.*/BEANSTALKD_LISTEN_ADDR=0.0.0.0/" /etc/default/beanstalkd
if grep START= /etc/default/beanstalkd; then
sed -i "s/#START=yes/START=yes/" /etc/default/beanstalkd
else
echo "START=yes" >> /etc/default/beanstalkd
fi
service beanstalkd start
sleep 5
service beanstalkd restart
systemctl enable beanstalkd
