Redis

Redis is an in memory data structure storage. It will be used to share PHP-sessions between the apache servers. To guarantee a robust deployment three redis servers will be configured.

192.168.1.58 redis (virtual IP-address)
192.168.1.59 redis01 (master)
192.168.1.60 redis02 (replica)
192.168.1.61 redis03 (replica)

Software

apt-get install redis-server redis-sentinel

Configuration

Redis Server

Change the contents of the redis configuration file in /etc/redis/redis.conf.

Add the IP-address for each of the servers. Each of the redis servers needs to listen on its own IP-address. Make sure to add its IP-address in the beginning on the line. (running as a cluster currently requires this due to a bug, so we will do this although we are not setting up a cluster).

bind 192.168.1.59 127.0.0.1

Enable redis to listen on the network, instead of only listening on the loopback device.

protected-mode no

For better dataintegrity enable this.

appendonly yes

Now restart the redis master

service redis-server restart

And stop the replicas

service redis-server stop

On each of the replicas, set them up af a replica of the master. (This was earlier called slaveof)

replicaof 192.168.1.59 6379

Start the replicas again

services redis-server start

You should now be able to see the replicas from the master redis-cli -h 192.168.1.59.

Redis Sentinel

Stop the sentinel

service redis-sentinel stop

Change the contents of the redis configuration file in /etc/redis/sentinel.conf.

Add the IP-address for each of the servers. Each of the redis servers needs to listen on its own IP-address.

bind 192.168.1.59 127.0.0.1

Configure each of the hosts to monitor the redis master server, and at least 2 sentinels should agree to change the master.

sentinel monitor mymaster 192.168.1.59 6379 2

Set the time the redis master can be down

sentinel down-after-milliseconds mymaster 5000

Set this, although I do not know what that means.

sentinel parallel-syncs mymaster 1

Finally set the timeout before the failover happens

sentinel failover-timeout mymaster 10000

Start the sentinel

service redis-sentinel start
