Redis Puppet Module for Boxen

Fork

We forked boxen/puppet-redis because we need to use a specific version of redis (the one in puppet-redis 3.1.0), but that version uses the oudated sha1 directive in its brewfile. This fork updates 3.1.0 to use the sha256 directive. To pull it into your boxen repo, put the following in your boxen Puppetfile:

github "redis", "3.1.1", repo: "dobtco/puppet-redis"`

Usage

include redis

Required Puppet Modules

• boxen
• homebrew
• stdlib

Environment

Once installed, you can access the following variables in your environment, projects, etc:

• BOXEN_REDIS_PORT: the configured redis port
• BOXEN_REDIS_URL: the URL for redis, including localhost & port

Hubot

For hubot development, particularly using the redis-brain, you'll need the following:

export REDISTOGO_URL=$BOXEN_REDIS_URL

Ruby

$redis = Redis.new(:host => '127.0.0.1', :port => ENV['BOXEN_REDIS_PORT'] || '6379'
