Redis¶

Description¶

This Ansible role provides a Jinja2 snippet to inject a Redis service definition into your Docker Compose setup. It renders a service.yml.j2 template that defines a redis container with sensible defaults.

Overview¶

The role’s service.yml.j2 template includes:

An Alpine-based Redis image (redis:alpine)
Container naming based on application_id (defaults to redis)
Restart policy
Journald logging driver
A named volume (redis:/data) for persistence
A basic healthcheck using redis-cli ping
Attachment to the default network

Include this snippet in your top-level docker-compose.yml.j2 where you want Redis to appear.

Features¶

Configurable ``application_id``

Sets container name ({{ application_id }}-redis).
Restart policy

Controlled by DOCKER_RESTART_POLICY.
Journald logging

Ensures logs are captured by systemd’s journal.
Persistent storage

Declares and mounts redis:/data.
Built-in healthcheck

Uses redis-cli ping with configurable intervals and retries.
