[BUG] Docker - PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS no affect

[Joshua2504]

Describe the bug
Putting PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS in the docker-compose.env doesn't affect the amount of workers.

To Reproduce
Put PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS in docker-compose.env and spin up the container.

Expected behavior
PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS=4 should increase the number of workers to 4.

Relevant information

• Host OS of the machine running paperless: Debian 10
• Version 1.2.1
• Installation method: docker

My docker-compose.env

# The UID and GID of the user used to run paperless in the container. Set this
# to your UID and GID on the host so that you have write access to the
# consumption directory.
#USERMAP_UID=1000
#USERMAP_GID=1000

# Additional languages to install for text recognition, separated by a
# whitespace. Note that this is
# different from PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE (default=eng), which defines the
# language used for OCR.
# The container installs English, German, Italian, Spanish and French by
# default.
# See https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tesseract-ocr-&searchon=names&suite=buster
# for available languages.
#PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES=tur ces

What exactly makes you think that it's not working?

Look for something like

08:36:03 [Q] INFO Q Cluster apart-fourteen-hotel-purple starting.
08:36:03 [Q] INFO Process-1:1 ready for work at 70
08:36:03 [Q] INFO Process-1:2 ready for work at 71
08:36:03 [Q] INFO Process-1:3 monitoring at 72
08:36:03 [Q] INFO Process-1 guarding cluster apart-fourteen-hotel-purple
08:36:03 [Q] INFO Process-1:4 pushing tasks at 73
08:36:03 [Q] INFO Q Cluster apart-fourteen-hotel-purple running.

In the Docker stdout / logs during startup.

This is with two workers.

CPU cores utilized should scale with Task Workers, if not defined. I think they don't. Jonas Winkler <[email protected]> schrieb am Mi., 3. März 2021, 09:44:

I can confirm that PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS is working, but it doesn't scale the CPU cores, while it should do it according to the documentation.

Any ideas about this?
