To run a stand-alone celery worker locally you'll need a broker (e.g. redis):

sudo docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --name winnow-redis redis

or if you already have winnow-redis container

sudo docker start winnow-redis

Run celery worker:

celery -A task_queue.application worker --loglevel=INFO

Test worker:

from task_queue.tasks import run_pipeline
run_pipeline.delay().get(timeout=2)
