together with celery you have to install some kind of message broker,

recommended one is rabbitmq_ to make the async tasks work.

Of course RhodeCode works in sync mode also and then you do not have to install

any third party applications. However, using Celery_ will give you a large speed improvement when using

many big repositories. If you plan to use RhodeCode for say 7 to 10 small repositories, RhodeCode

will perform perfectly well without celery running.

If you make the decision to run RhodeCode with celery make sure you run celeryd using paster

and message broker together with the application.
