- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.

- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package database-queue
This extension allows you to easily run a queue, using your database and by configuring one cron(job).
Disclaimer: this extension is provided "as is" by Blomstra. Only community support is provided.
Background and when you need this
By default, Flarum runs without a (background) queue. This means that all tasks of Flarum are processed during the request of the user.
A great example of this is email sending. When using flarum/subscriptions, fof/follow-tags, ianm/follow-users or any other extension that allows subscribing to things, email sent out to notify users. For smaller communities this is not a big deal, but at some point you'll notice your requests (posting for instance) may start to slow down. All of these emails are dispatched after the post is stored to the database.
To resolve this increasing burden, you can run a Queue. A queue runs on your server, it does not interact with the user and their requests. A user request, however, can dispatch tasks to the queue. This extension provides the easiest implementation of a queue and works on shared hosting environments as well.
Install
Enable the extension inside the admin area. If you already have the Flarum scheduler setup, there's nothing more to do. Otherwise, see below:
Set up
Go into your hosting control panel and set up the following task to run every minute:

FAQ
What is the difference with blomstra/flarum-redis? The redis package (it's officially not an extension) is meant for larger communities. Redis offers the ability to scale the number of workers up however you need. Running a queue worker which pulls jobs from the database can also negatively impact your community performance when processing a lot of notifications and other queue tasks.
