Ansible Role: Redis

Build Status

Installs Redis on RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu.

Requirements

On RedHat-based distributions, requires the EPEL repository (you can simply add the role geerlingguy.repo-epel to install ensure EPEL is available).

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

redis_port: 6379
redis_bind_interface: 127.0.0.1

Port and interface on which Redis will listen. Set the interface to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces.

redis_unixsocket: ''

If set, Redis will also listen on a local Unix socket.

redis_timeout: 300

Close a connection after a client is idle N seconds. Set to 0 to disable timeout.

redis_loglevel: "notice"
redis_logfile: /var/log/redis/redis-server.log

Log level and log location (valid levels are debug, verbose, notice, and warning).

redis_databases: 16

The number of Redis databases.

# Set to an empty set to disable persistence (saving the DB to disk).
redis_save:
  - 900 1
  - 300 10
  - 60 10000

Snapshotting configuration; setting values in this list will save the database to disk if the given number of seconds (e.g. 900) and the given number of write operations (e.g. 1) have occurred.

redis_rdbcompression: "yes"
redis_dbfilename: dump.rdb
redis_dbdir: /var/lib/redis

Database compression and location configuration.

redis_appendonly: "no"

The appendonly option, if enabled, affords better data durability guarantees, at the cost of slightly slower performance.

redis_appendfsync: "everysec"

Valid values are always (slower, safest), everysec (happy medium), or no (let the filesystem flush data when it wants, most risky).

# Add extra include files for local configuration/overrides.
redis_includes: []

Add extra include file paths to this list to include more/localized Redis configuration.

Dependencies

None.
