Forge: Removing "beanstalkd"

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:

1apt-get install -y --force-yes beanstalkd
2sed -i "s/BEANSTALKD_LISTEN_ADDR.*/BEANSTALKD_LISTEN_ADDR=0.0.0.0/" /etc/default/beanstalkd
3 
4if grep START= /etc/default/beanstalkd; then
5    sed -i "s/#START=yes/START=yes/" /etc/default/beanstalkd
6else
7    echo "START=yes" >> /etc/default/beanstalkd
8fi
9 
10service beanstalkd start
11sleep 5
12service beanstalkd restart
13 
14systemctl enable beanstalkd
