Redis Installer

It sets up Ubuntu-16.04 Virtual Boxes and installs Redis-5.0.3 from package(tar.gz) and/or from it's repository using Vagrant. The installation and configuration is done using Chef cookbook-install-redis and hence it can be used on any (currently only ubuntu 16.04) Chef Client hosts

Requirements

Tested with below components on OSX-10.14.3

• VirtualBox 6.0
• Vagrant 2.2.3
• Chef Development Kit Version: 3.7.23 - For running integration tests.

Installation

Once the requirements are installed, open up a terminal. We'll need to clone this repository and setup vagrant:

Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/joy-george/redis-installer.git
cd redis-installer

Check Vagrant is functional

redis-installer$ vagrant up --no-provision

Creating Node directory

This will help vagrant to store all the node information

redis-installer$ mkdir nodes

Provisioning

redis-installer$ vagrant provision

The current vagrant setup will create 2 virtual boxes

• 172.30.0.140: With Redis server installed from package
• 172.30.0.141: With Redis server installed from repository

If required, the above configuration can be modified from the Vagrantfile

Testing

Integration test can be done after provision to verify

• Redis has been installed
• Redis is running
• Redis is runing on version 5.0.3
• Configuration changes are in place and correct
• Service listens to necessary ports (6379)
• Redis is able to set and get test key values

Executing the test

Testing 172.30.0.140:

redis-installer$ chef exec inspec exec cookbooks/install-redis/test/integration/default/server_test.rb -t ssh://vagrant@172.30.0.140 --password=vagrant

Testing 172.30.0.141:

redis-installer$ chef exec inspec exec cookbooks/install-redis/test/integration/default/server_test.rb -t ssh://vagrant@172.30.0.141 --password=vagrant
