redis-playbook

an Ansible playbook for deploying a secured and optimized Redis instance

Based originally on DigitailOcean's guide to deploying a Redis instance:

How to install and configure redis on Ubuntu 16.04

This playbook looks to automate the tedious setup process by performing the following tasks:

• Update OS with apt-get

• Install Redis dependencies

• Install Redis from source (test, make)

• Configure and secure Redis-as-a-service

  • Create a redis user and group
  • Create data and logging directories
  • Enable Redis socket support (redis-cli -a redis -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock)

• Optimize Redis

  • Disable Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support
  • Increase TCP backlog
  • Enable low-memory DB saves

Run vagrant up to provision a Redis instance available from your local machine.
