how to automatically refresh and get new queues?

[jonathan-chin]

I apologize if this is an uninformed question; I'm new to BullMQ and message queues in general.

I'm running Bull Board through docker; when it spins up, it grabs all the queues that are already in redis and can track jobs that go in and out.

however, while it is running, if I create a new queue, it doesn't show up in Bull Board. refreshing the page doesn't update the list either. it's only if I stop my docker containers and restart them do I get the new updated list.

should I be able to see new queues as they are added?

here's my docker yaml file:

version: '3.5'

services:
  mq_redis:
    image: redis:5.0-alpine
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 6379:6379
    expose:
      - 6379
    volumes:
      - redis_db_data:/data/mq_redis
    networks:
      - frg-network

  mq_bullboard:
    image: venatum/bull-board
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      REDIS_HOST: mq_redis
      REDIS_PORT: 6379
#      REDIS_PASSWORD: example-password
#      REDIS_USE_TLS: 'false'
#      BULL_PREFIX: bull
    depends_on:
      - mq_redis
    networks:
      - frg-network

volumes:
  redis_db_data:
    external: false

networks:
  frg-network:
    driver: bridge

hi @jonathan-chin, we don't maintain bull-board but we don't have a method to retrieves all available queues, but what I can see is that you need to register all queues when starting that ui from it's readme. Btw this is bull package that is our legacy package, no more new features will be added. Instead of using bull you might want to use bullmq that has all the last new features and It's actively maintained.
