RQ configuration

redis_port

Port of the redis server, default to 6379. Note that this is not the same as option port, which is the port for ssh communication.

        queue_type: rq
        redis_host: server_url
        redis_port: 6379
        queue: high
        paths:
            home: /Users/{user_name}
