Commit message formatting is significant!!

Please see How to contribute for more details.

pre-commit is configured for this formula, which you may optionally use to ease the steps involved in submitting your changes. First install the pre-commit package manager using the appropriate method, then run bin/install-hooks and now pre-commit will run automatically on each git commit.

$ bin/install-hooks

Stop Redis daemon and remove redis server solution.

Install redis only

Install redis and start up the service ( Ubuntu + RedHat based systems should work ).

For a list of all available options, look at: redis/files/redis-{version}.conf.jinja - also have a look at the pillar.example and map.jinja.

To use the new redis 3.2 template (more structured) add the following line to the pillar:

source_path: salt://redis/files/redis-3.2-ng.conf.jinja

For options that aren't in the template (timeout, for example in redis-2.8 template), you can use extra_opts:

extra_opts:
  timeout: 10

Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).

Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.

Removes the docker instance.

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
