Distributed Mode

GloomProxy ships in two modes selected by Docker Compose profile:

Mode	Profile	Job bus	Workers
Single-node	(default)	In-process asyncio queue	Scanner plugins run in the orchestrator process
Cluster	`--profile cluster`	Redis pub/sub	Separate worker containers pull jobs

Single-node (default)

Suitable for local testing and small targets. Everything runs in one container.

docker compose up --build

Workers scale independently. Redis brokers job assignment.

docker compose --profile cluster up --build

# Scale workers:
docker compose --profile cluster up --scale worker=6

Configure workers via the WORKER_* environment variables — see Configuration.
