A hubot script to persist hubot's brain using redis
See src/redis-brain.coffee for full documentation.
In hubot project repo, run:
npm install hubot-redis-brain --save
Then add hubot-redis-brain to your external-scripts.json:
[
"hubot-redis-brain"
]hubot-redis-brain requires a redis server to work. It uses the REDIS_URL environment variable for determining
where to connect to. The default is on localhost, port 6379 (ie the redis default).
The following attributes can be set using the REDIS_URL
- authentication
- hostname
- port
- key prefix
For example, export REDIS_URL=redis://[email protected]:16379/prefix would
authenticate with password, connecting to 192.168.0.1 on port 16379, and store
data using the prefix:storage key.
If you need to install and run your own, most package managers have a package for redis:
- Mac OS X with homebrew:
brew install redis - Ubuntu/Debian with apt:
apt-get install redis-server - Compile from source: http://redis.io/topics/quickstart
If you are using boxen to manage your environment,
hubot-redis-brain will automatically use the boxen-managed redis (ie by using BOXEN_REDIS_URL).
If you are deploying on Heroku, you can add the Redis Cloud or Redis To Go addon to have automatically configure itself to use it:
Other redis addons would need to be configured using REDIS_URL until support
is added to hubot-redis-brain (or hubot-redis-brain needs to be updated to look
for the environment variable the service uses)
