ability to configure redis sentinel is nebulous and documentation is missing

Tell us about your environment

docker

AnyCable-Go version: anycable/anycable-go:1.5.3

What did you do?

tried finding explicit documentation for connecting to redis sentinels but they are not present here: https://docs.anycable.io/anycable-go/configuration?id=redis-configuration found related changelog entry: https://github.com/anycable/anycable-go/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#101-2020-07-07

But then I see there's no EnvVars thing (sorry, my go sucks) in https://github.com/anycable/anycable-go/blob/master/cli/options.go#L543-L546 for the sentinel config, so makes me second guess that changelog entry or the viability of using ANYCABLE_REDIS_SENTINELS

Would be amazeballs if I could use env vars to connect to redis sentinel and the docs could reflect that information. Thank you!

Thanks for reporting!

Yeah, we have the configuration properly covered at the Ruby side: https://docs.anycable.io/ruby/broadcast_adapters?id=redis-sentinel-support

It's the same for the Go server, meaning the env var works (there's no EnvVars thing because we do that implicitly—convention over configuration appleid to Go: https://github.com/anycable/anycable-go/blob/3e19ee9b6ad4e443154f4688a610d1d9c7f2038f/cli/options.go#L1219
