Role Variables

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
redis_bind_address	String	0.0.0.0	The ip address(es) to accept remote redis connections from
redis_install_dir	String	/var/lib/redis	The directory to install redis to and from. Also the home directory for the redis unix user
redis_server_port	int	6379	The port which redis accepts incoming connections from
redis_user	String	redis	The unix user to run the redis-server service as
redis_version	String	5.0.7	The version of redis to install. At the time of writing 5.0.7 is the latest stable version. Can also be supplied as "stable"
redis_config_file_path	String	/etc/redis/redis.conf	The filepath for the redis configuration file
redis_log_file_path	String	/var/log/redis/redis.log	The filepath for the redis log file
redis_maxmemory_percent	int	80	The percent of total server memory to allocate to redis cache. Explicitly setting this value avoids the redis server from OOM crashing and instead provides errors early when this memory threshold is reached
redis_replication_backlog_size_percent	int	80	The percent of total server memory to allocate to the replication backlog. A larger replication backlog reduces potential for full synchronizations which can negatively affect performance
redis_tcp_backlog	String	511	The size of the complete connection queue. Currently this size dictates the redis_tcp_backlog setting AND the unix somaxconn value
