redis-snap

This is snap for Redis, the popular data store.

Building

With Ubuntu 16.04 and snapcraft:

git clone https://github.com/markshuttle/redis-snap
cd redis-snap
snapcraft

The snap will be redis_version+git_amd64.snap in that directory.

Unless you have setup snapcraft signing keys, install with sudo snap install --force-dangerous <name>.snap which bypasses the requirement for a signature.

An official stable build of this snap will in due course be available from the store as snap install redis.

Once installed

Redis will try to start on boot, looking for configuration files in /var/snap/redis/common/*.conf and starting the databases described in those.

A default config can be installed with sudo redis.init. Once the system is running you can manage the daemon with sudo service snap.redis.launch start|stop|status.
