Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the role for your Ansible playbook. Once launched, it will install a Redis server.

Prerequisities

Ansible 2.9.x.x version installed. Inventory destination should be a Debian environment.

For testing purposes, Molecule with Docker as driver.

Installing

Create or add to your roles dependency file (e.g requirements.yml):

- src: idealista.redis_role
  version: 4.0.3
  name: redis

Install the role with ansible-galaxy command:

ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml -f

Use in a playbook:

- hosts: someserver
  roles:
    - redis

Usage

ATTENTION since version 5.0.0 we have introduced authentication and it is important to use two variables:

• redis_auth which is mandatory to have a value (true/false)
• redis_password which defines the password that will be set, remember to put it in the vault so that it is not left unencrypted (it must be 30 characters, with numbers, upper and lower case)

IF THESE VARIABLES ARE NOT CORRECTLY CONFIGURED, THE ROLE INSTALLATION WILL FAIL WITH AN EXPLANATORY MESSAGE.

Look to the defaults properties file to see the possible configuration properties.

Note: It's recommended to use Prometheus Redis Exporter Role if Prometheus monitoring is needed.
