Celery¶
Since v0.3.0, Burp-UI supports asynchronous operations thanks to Celery. In order to use this feature, you need to enable it in the configuration (see Production section)
You will also need some extra requirements:
pip install "burp-ui[celery]"
Celery needs a Broker to communicate between the workers and your
application. I chose Redis so you will need a working Redis server
(Basically you just need to run apt-get install redis-server
on Debian based
distributions)
Runner¶
Once everything is setup, you need to launch a worker. Burp-UI ships with a
helper script called bui-celery
. You can use it like this:
bui-celery --beat
If your configuration is not in a common location, you can specify it like this:
bui-celery -c path/to/burpui.cfg -- --beat
Note
A systemd service example file is shiped in the contrib directory
Note
The --beat
option is recommended since some operations need to be
executed periodically
Note
The usage of a database is recommended to keep a track of executed tasks
