River UI

River UI is a graphical user interface for the River job queue. It lets users view and manage jobs without having to resort to querying the database or the command line.

A live demo of River UI is available to see what it looks like.

Installation

A working River database is required for the UI to start up properly. See running River migrations, and make sure a DATABASE_URL is exported to env.

$ go install github.com/riverqueue/river/cmd/river@latest
$ river migrate-up --database-url "$DATABASE_URL"

From binary

River UI releases include a set of static binaries for a variety of architectures and operating systems. Use one of these links:

• Linux AMD64
• Linux ARM64
• macOS AMD64
• macOS ARM64

Or fetch a binary with cURL:

$ RIVER_ARCH=arm64 # either 'amd64' or 'arm64'
$ RIVER_OS=darwin  # either 'darwin' or 'linux'
$ curl -L https://github.com/riverqueue/riverui/releases/latest/download/riverui_${RIVER_OS}_${RIVER_ARCH}.gz | gzip -d > riverui
$ chmod +x riverui
$ export DATABASE_URL=...
$ ./riverui

River UI ships container images with each release. Pull and run the latest with:

$ docker pull ghcr.io/riverqueue/riverui:latest
