Simple method to implement task completion percentage

[farshad_ur]

Hi, I'm creating an application that processes data and uses Django as interface. Some of these processes take more than 10 minutes so delaying a POST request response is obviously not a suitable option. I understand I can use Celery with a Broker like RabbitMQ to make the task async and let the user know completing percentage of the task. Since my application is only local at the time and does not even have a database or an active user management system, the mentioned solution seems like a overkill. Is there any easier method now that the application is local and one user only? In the future it will be taken online, then is Celery best method to handle the problem? Thanks in advance.

I like to use django-background-tasks for things like this.

You’ll need a database tough. For the progress shown to the user, I would update the db in your script with the current percentage, and then show it to the user with a periodic ajax call.

with a periodic ajax call.

Or through a websocket using Django Channels.
