hubot-redis-brain-tls
A hubot script to persist hubot's brain using redis
See src/redis-brain.js for full documentation.
Installation
In hubot project repo, run:
npm install hubot-redis-brain-tls --save
Then add hubot-redis-brain to your external-scripts.json:
[
"hubot-redis-brain-tls"
]Configuration
hubot-redis-brain-tls requires a redis server to work. It uses the REDIS_URL environment variable for determining
where to connect to. The default is on localhost, port 6379 (ie the redis default).
The following attributes can be set using the REDIS_URL
- authentication
- hostname
- port
- key prefix
- protocol
For example, export REDIS_URL=redis://:password@192.168.0.1:16379/prefix would
authenticate with password, connecting to 192.168.0.1 on port 16379, and store
data using the prefix:storage key.
export REDIS_URL=rediss://:password@192.168.0.1:16379/prefix would
authenticate with password, connecting to 192.168.0.1 on port 16379 via TLS, and store data using the prefix:storage key.
For a UNIX domain socket, export REDIS_URL=redis://:password@/var/run/redis.sock?prefix would authenticate with password, connecting to /var/run/redis.sock, and store data using the prefix:storage key.
Installing your own
If you need to install and run your own, most package managers have a package for redis:
- Mac OS X with homebrew:
brew install redis - Ubuntu/Debian with apt:
apt-get install redis-server - Compile from source: http://redis.io/topics/quickstart
Boxen
If you are using boxen to manage your environment,
hubot-redis-brain-tls will automatically use the boxen-managed redis (ie by using BOXEN_REDIS_URL).
Heroku
If you are deploying on Heroku, you can add the Redis Cloud or Redis To Go addon to have automatically configure itself to use it:
Other redis addons would need to be configured using REDIS_URL until support
is added to hubot-redis-brain-tls (or hubot-redis-brain-tls needs to be updated to look
for the environment variable the service uses)
Redis Twemproxy
If you are using Twemproxy to cluster redis, you need to turn off the redis ready check which uses the unsupported INFO cmd.
REDIS_NO_CHECK = 1
