Missing /usr/bin/redis-shutdown script

[maoueh]

Hi,

I'm installing redis using cookbok version 2.4.2 on CentOS 7 using a wrapper cookbook (mainly to enforce version installed and default server settings).

I noticed the systemd script has its ExecStop command set to /usr/bin/redis-shutdown. However. when installing, this command does not exist. Is this file supposed to be present when installing by default?

This does not create apparent problem has systemd is smart enough to kill the process. However, for guaranteed persistence, the redis daemon must be gracefully stopped. Also, even if the start command is templated with %i, the shutdown command seems not so I wonder what it was supposed to do.

Here the current "fixup" recipe I'm currently using in my wrapper script. However, even if it's working, I think a single generic unit file for systemd is not correct because user and group can be different by server. As such, I did not find a way yet to make it generic based on the server name. To fully support all uses cases, I guess one unit for each service would be a better option.

Also, I did found some problems on CentOS with the current unit. The redis run_dir is in a tmpfs filesystem. On reboot, the folder is cleared up. On the next reboot, the /var/run/redis folder is not re-created by the unit preventing the service from starting. My fixup recipe fix this also.

# _finalize_systemd.rb
template "#{node['redisio']['bin_path']}/redis-shutdown" do
  source 'redis-shutdown.erb'
  user 'redis'
  group 'redis'
  mode '0755'
  variables(
    bin_dir: node['redisio']['bin_path'],
    redis_servers: node['redisio']['servers']
  )
end

template "/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]" do
  source 'systemd/[email protected]'
  user 'root'
  group 'root'
  mode '0644'
  variables(
    user: node['redisio']['default_settings']['user'],
    group: node['redisio']['default_settings']['group'],
    bin_dir: node['redisio']['bin_path'],
    run_dir: node['redisio']['base_piddir']
  )

  notifies :run, 'bash[reload systemd units]', :immediately

  node['redisio']['servers'].each do |redis_server|
    notifies :restart, "service[redis@#{redis_server['name']}]", :delayed
  end
end

bash 'reload systemd units' do
  code 'systemctl daemon-reload'

  action :nothing
end

The redis-shutdown part is dealt with in #302. I haven't looked at the /var/run/redis issue yet but this should be fixed with tmpfiles.d instead.

Actually if you're installing from a distro package then /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/redis.conf will already deal with this. An identical file should therefore be put in place by the install LWRP.
