Pr to add the backfill redis, setting as draft for now as it should only be merged after #100

Upstream pr: sigstore/rekor#2280

Additionally, ideally you could add a workable test for this within user_provided just to ensure this new feature works

Im not really sure there is a good way to test this if I am honest, ill take a look, but really we would only be testing to make sure that we can configure it with ansible and thats already done here

👋 thanks for the PR Jason. I think this is a very good start, but I put some suggestions inline to improve some of the mechanics of this functionality.

Marking as draft until an image with my changes becomes available

Hi, thanks for putting all the additional work in. This looks really good, I just have one minor comment on the config variable we're introducing.

Also a question: Did you try to see if the timer execution works correctly? (e.g. by modifying the timer locally to execute every minute or something like that to actually see it execute repeatedly)

Thinking about this further, I think we should expose the timer configuration as a variable under tas_single_node_backfill_redis (see my first comment about modifying this variable). This will both allow users to run the job when they want to and allow us to easily test this feature.

I did yes, everything worked as expected :)

Makes sense :) sure thing
