Make it possible to install sentinel independently

[tomsajan]

Pull Request (PR) description

This PR introduces the possibility to install redis::sentinel standalone, without redis::server. It comes in handy when you need your sentinels to be for example on a different node than your redis server.

The change itself is a pretty straightforward, I am just adding a require_redis parameter, that makes the requirement of redis class conditional. The default value is true, which includes the redis and it is therefore backward compatible with the current setup.

The only downside of this approach I see currently is that in case someone needs a standalone redis-sentinel from a managed repository, the repository must be added manually as the redis::preinstall is no longer included (as was previously with the redis class)

This Pull Request (PR) fixes the following issues

• installation of standalone sentinel (no open issue for this one, so far)

Thank you for any input :)

Regarding the puppet5/ubuntu 20.04 tests, the errors don't look like they were caused by my changes...

thanks

@gizmo15 it's probably best to submit your own PR.

Thanks for taking interest in this. To be honest, this slipped from my mind. I'll try to make it work. What is required from this to be accepted? I suppose

• rebase to current upstream
• drop leading :: and add tests as suggested by @ghoneycutt ? I may have need some helm with the tests, as I didn't do it yet in puppet, but I will take a look a try my best

Hi, so I merged it to the current master. Could someone advise me please on how to pass the CI tests? Static tests reports outdated reference.md, but I adjusted it as good as I was able and it still complains. :(

Not sure though on how to tackle tests to verify the presence or absence of the redis class...

Also, this MR still has the labe merge-conflicts, although there are non now.

Thanks and have a great day :)

I would recommend to rebase it on master. We don't like it when a PR merges in master. Though I think the bot may not be able to remove the label.

Hello, any news about this PR ? Thanks.

It doesn't appear it was ever updated as requested during the review, so it can't be merged as-is. The original author would have to update it, or someone else could create a new pull request based on it.

[tomsajan]

Let me give it a try for a day or two :)

[tomsajan]

So I squashed my changes and rebased it all to current master. During the rebase I renamed the option to contain_redis because now contain is used instead of require. There are still some tests that fail.

I am not sure I will be able to test this code as I don't use puppet anymore in my infrastructure, but I will try to come up with something tomorrow.

@tomsajan Hello, thanks for your feedback. I don't really understand the Puppet CI error 🤷‍♂️ Do you have any idea please ? Thanks.

As I need this feature, I'd like to pick up this topic again. As far as I can see, tests are still missing and I'd suggest a different parameter name, e.g. standalone.
