redis and resque in production

I want to get resque background processing working in production on my centos server for a rails 3 application.

I then want to monitor redis and resque with bluepill.

What is the best way to instal开发者_Python百科l redis in production for resque and also has anyone get a .pill file for redis and resque ?

Thanks Rick

The Linode Library has a nice article about installing Redis in CentOS 5, and Resque's Github page is an excellent resource for Resque.

Redis Bluepill:

Bluepill.application("app-name") do |app|
  app.process("redis") do |process|
  process.start_command = "redis-server /path/to/redis.conf"
  process.daemonize = true
  process.pid_file = "/tmp/redis.pid"
  process.start_grace_time = 3.seconds
  process.stop_grace_time = 5.seconds
  process.restart_grace_time = 8.seconds
end

Bluepill's syntax is fairly straight-forward and I'll leave the .pill for Resque for you to try :)

A few of my notes on the linode Redis article:

https://www.linode.com/docs/databases/redis/redis-on-centos-5/

When wgetting redis: You could link directly to the latest stable version of redis: wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz cd redis-stable make

• redis user needs to own the pid directory to write the pid, otherwise it'll silently fail in daemon mode:

mkdir /var/run/redis chown redis:redis /var/run/redis

• then direct creation of pid to the new directoy in the init.d script as well as the redis.conf file:

/var/run/redis/redis.pid as opposed to /var/run/redis.pid
