Installing redis from RPM

[James Jelinek]

I'm working on a simple playbook to install redis from the remi repo.  When I do this manually on the target server I do the following:

• wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

• sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm
• sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo #to mark the repo as enabled
• sudo yum install redis
• sudo chkconfig redis on
• sudo service redis start

I think I have most of the stuff figured out like starting the service and installing via yum once the repo is installed.  Just wondering how I can automated installing the rpm from the URL and setting the repo to enabled.

I'll continue playing with it but wanted to ask for a little guidance since it's been a year + since I've worked with Ansible.

Thanks folks!

Ok so I figured how how to get the RPM/repo installed.  This is my playbook so far

---

- hosts: test

  remote_user: deploy

  sudo: True

  tasks:

  - name: ensure redis remi repo is installed

    yum:

     name: http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

     state: present

It works and installs the remi repo... I can handle getting redis installed, started, and chkconfig on, but I'm wondering how to automated editing the remi.repo to enable the repo as active so my play will run.

Try to use "yumrepo" module to enable yum repository.

Thanks, I did some digging and figured it out.  This playbook takes care of everything now, just had to do a little digging on enabling the repo via yum.

    yum:

     name: http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

     state: present

  - name: ensure remi repo is enabled and redis is installed

    yum: name=redis enablerepo=remi

  - name: ensure redis is set to start at boot

    action: command /sbin/chkconfig redis on

  - name: ensure redis is started

    service: name=redis state=started

with:

service: name=redis state=started enabled=yes

you don't need to call chkconfig
