Redis: a fast, flexible datastore offering an extremely useful set of data structure primitives

Redis, a fast lightweight database

• client - Client support for Redis database
• default - Base configuration for redis
• install_from_package - Install From Ubuntu Package -- easy but lags in version
• install_from_release - Install From Release
• server - Redis server with runit service

Supports platforms: debian and ubuntu

Cookbook dependencies:

• runit

• 3.0.7 - Release brought in
• 3.0.8 - Enabled vm.overcommit_memory=1 and ensured it did not overlap
• 3.0.9 - Added server_small that doesn't use vm.overcommit_memory so it can be safe for usage with Resque.
• 3.0.10 - bumped to 2.4.9
• 4.0.0.0 - Removed dependencies of metachef and install_from_source.

• [:redis][:version] does not rebuild the version string in [:redis][:release_url]. In order to update Redis you must update the release_url with the version included in the string. Such as "http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.4.13.tar.gz"

• [:redis][:home_dir] - (default: "/usr/local/share/redis")
• [:redis][:pid_file] - Redis PID file path (default: "/var/run/redis.pid")
  • Path to the PID file when daemonized.
• [:redis][:log_dir] - Redis log dir path (default: "/var/log/redis")
  • Path to the log directory when daemonized -- will be stored in [log_dir]/redis.log.
• [:redis][:data_dir] - Redis database directory (default: "/var/lib/redis")
  • Path to the directory for database files.
• [:redis][:db_basename] - Redis database filename (default: "dump.rdb")
  • Filename for the database storage.
• [:redis][:release_url] - URL for redis release package (default: "http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-:version:.tar.gz")
  • If using the install_from_release strategy, the URL for the release tarball
• [:redis][:glueoutputbuf] - Redis output buffer coalescing (default: "yes")
  • Glue small output buffers together into larger TCP packets.
• [:redis][:saves] - Redis disk persistence policies
  • An array of arrays of time, changed objects policies for persisting data to disk.
• [:redis][:slave] - Redis replication slave (default: "no")
  • Act as a replication slave to a master redis database.
• [:redis][:shareobjects] - Redis shared object compression (default: "no") (default: "no")
  • Attempt to reduce memory use by sharing storage for substrings.
• [:redis][:conf_dir] - (default: "/etc/redis")
• [:redis][:user] - (default: "redis")
• [:redis][:version] - (default: "2.0.2")
• [:redis][:server][:addr] - IP address to bind. (default: "0.0.0.0")
• [:redis][:server][:port] - Redis server port (default: "6379")
  • TCP port to bind.
• [:redis][:server][:timeout] - Redis server timeout (default: "300")
  • Timeout, in seconds, for disconnection of idle clients.
• [:users][:redis][:uid] - (default: "335")
• [:groups][:redis][:gid] - (default: "335")
